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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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

Ann, that's a ferret.

My sister. One nice thing about working from home is that I can go directly from work to rest (or even a short nap) instead of commuting for an hour or more.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am most certainly not solar powered. I would have stayed in bed a good while longer.

No workers yesterday and likely none today, so Juneteenth cookout in the yard - (spaced out sanitized - separate tables - no contact serving (a drop off pick up table)) - is going to have the "bonus" of giant piles of dirt and a two foot ditch. Ugh

Other Ugh - two more workers at my parents' retirement community have tested positive. One works in the area that my parents are. They go off work immediately, but still. That is a total of 4 employees, but no residents. So worrisome, but hopefully my parents will re-institute more of a lockdown. My dad went to a Dr. yesterday and both of them had already opted to go get haircuts. they need to stay their butts in their apt.

And noCOVID~ma to your parents/other residents, msbelle.

Our wings are not tired.

I am solar powered as well, which means super early days when I head north in a few days.

Apparently not quite adequately caffeinated though. My office phone just rang and I was confused as to which of my practices would be open on a Saturday.
