Timelies all!
Happy Birthday ZenKitty!
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

You people are not always helpful.
I offered you the easiest option.
In clafoutis news, I bought enough blueberries today to both make clafoutis AND lie on the couch and eat them by the handful. Win-win.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Happy Birthday Zenkitty!
I was super-nervous and flop-sweating this morning, but Mom's follow-up with her surgeon's office went very well. The pathology came back and her cancer was non-invasive and non-aggressive, so she doesn't require any additional treatment—just regular exams to make sure it doesn't reoccur. The nurse practitioner said if you have to develop cancer, hers was the kind to hope for.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What a relief, Matt!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad to hear it, Matt!

Thrive to spite them
Last night M noticed something going on with Scrappy the cat's mouth. I thought it might be an abscess because it looked kind of swollen. M held on to Scrappy while I applied a hot compress for awhile and then this morning M was able to basically cuddle Scrappy while he applied the compress.
We were able to get a vet appointment and it's not an abscess, just a cut on his lip. So he has antibiotics.
This morning I was trying to just give him a little comfort and he got really angry , hissed and when I couldn't get my hand away in time bit me. Ok that's not true. I actually tried to pet him right before that and he clearly didn't want to be petted and I ignored his boundaries. So I disinfected the bite and washed it and have been periodically and liberally applying hand sanitizer to my hands. It's a little sore but that might be some bruising.
Scrappy also scratched M's arms all up and it's going to be an adventure giving him medicine 2x a day for 2 weeks.

Oh, that is awesome, Matt.
Yes, it should be reported as improper use of a hammock.
I know; I even felt a little guilty as I was thoroughly enjoying myself.

Good news, Matt! Glad to hear it.
I'm so sad for my niece. The Bayistas may have seen the news about a young father from Berkeley who went running in the Pleasanton hills on Saturday and disappeared. It was over 100F that day, but he is an ultramarathoner, and yet, there has been no sign of him. He left his cell in his car at the trailhead, so they have no way of tracking him.
Anyway, he was my niece's boss for a couple years, and he continues to be a valued mentor, and so she and my sister went out there on Monday to help with the search. M is just distraught. He had a 3-year-old and a ten-month old. It's so sad.
