It would be nice if I could go a few weeks without finding out from my mom that my dad is in the ER.

Oh, man, shrift, I'm sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, shrift.
"Spoiled" or "finally being treated properly"?
Basically while you were having this conversation here, I hwas talking to a coworker about how housecats still remember when they were gods.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am so sorry shrift- that sounds tough.
Miss Petunia has graduated from trying to bite my nose and slap my face while on zoom to just wanting to sit in my lap all the time. It is hot, and she is going to be disappointed if I ever have to go back to work!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, shrift. ~ma to your dad.
ND, that's rough, I hope you can find what you need - at a reasonable price. Also I hope the price-gougers get infested with fleas.
Does he know about the existence of plug-in heated cat beds?
He does not. Someday when he gets old and arthritic, I'll buy him heated cat beds. Today, he'll have to make do with the bed, the other bed, the couch, the comfy chair, the cat bed, the cat tree, the pillows...
I've been so worried about my Percy, and I'm so happy with how well he's doing and how quickly he's recovering from his surgery. He clearly feels better. Little brat. I'm definitely the one who spoiled him... he was so skinny and sad when I got him, and I pampered and fed and petted him so he would know he was safe and loved. Still not bringing him tuna in bed though. Except for that one time.

I plan to go grocery shopping tomorrow and I made a list - basically sandwich fixings, beer and popsicles. Too hot for anything else. Pretty proud of myself for thinking to mak a list, I haven't gone grocery shopping in a store in a while.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The cat-food-scoop-losing roommate (there is only one, but that is the particular outstanding feature of the moment) had to go to the ER this afternoon because her knee was acting up badly and they were worried about blood clots. Appears it was just fluid buildup.
The food scoop has mysteriously reappeared. I'll get around to asking her exactly where it was soon.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
The food scoop has mysteriously reappeared. I'll get around to asking her exactly where it was soon.
My money is on: (1) freezer; (2) carried it into her bedroom; (3) [an outside chance] put it in her purse/bag she always carries.

How sad is it that those are realistic possibilities?
Since I am essentially solar-powered, I am up at 5 AM here, where the sun is getting ready to rise. Too. much. light. sigh
