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

That dress *is* perfect for Zoom life.

Hasn't September always been hot? It's still summer until 3/4 of the way in, after all.

I successfully picked up BK and now Miss Kitty is actuing like I was gone FOREVER - it was 20 minutes, cat. Were you even awake when I left?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Some asshole started attacking the Star of David sign outside ltc's school today, and screamed and yelled at the parents outside. Then proceeded up the street to the temple to do the same. He was arrested and no one was hurt. ltc's school is open for camp though she is not going to camp this summer. Why are there so many awful people?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

She loves you -t

sj, that person is terrible. I can't understand them. I keep getting stuck between wonderful people, like my friend who passed away, and awful people like this. How does both exist.

Same Sophia, but the awful people are being so loud right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, what an asshole. I'm sorry that happened!

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, sj. Exposure to that level of hatred is always emotionally jarring. I don't understand it, and I don't want to understand.

Oh, sj, how terrible! The awful people are emboldened, which is kind of good in that we can easily see who they are, but truly truly sucks for all the awful stuff they are doing

She does, Sophia, and I appreciate it but I was trying to work and eat my lunch at the same time and there isn't room for all that AND a cat on this chair.

All my calls are done for today! I don't think I'm going to get quite as much of my actual work done today as I originally hoped. But some, so that'll have to do.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Apparently a storm came through this area around 3 am and woke Gary up. I slept through it, though I still got woken up by Nova meowing a little before 6. Not sure why I woke up one time but not the other.

Thanks. I'm just very grateful he didn't have a weapon.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I love Tramadol. IJS.

Heh, so much individual variation.

Acetaminophen helped me little, but not much. Ibuprofen worked, which was bad in a way -- because I waited until I was maxing out on the dosage before I finally gave in and made a doctor's appointment.

The NP at the doctor's office prescribed Tramadol. It did nothing for me - less even than the acetaminophen had.

Two weeks later, when I told the doctor that Tramadol wasn't doing anything for me, he commented, "Yeah, the nickname for that is 'Trama-don't' -- but it was worth a try."

He switched me to a prescription for Meloxicam. That stuff worked great.
