Eclipses are totally good for some convos. Heh. Can't see total and eclipse in the same sentence without earworming myself. You are all welcome.

Looks like a beautiful day here -- actual Fall not full-on winter yet. I might take doggo somewhere new for a walk. She was acting weird last night -- just couldn't settle and was panting like a mofo. She acted as if someone was eating steak after steak downstairs or something, so she just kept pacing over to the head of the stairs. I took her on extra walks, and I eventually gave her some Trazadone to calm her down, which it did (she gets that before vet visits, so I knew it was safe.) Anyway, she seems mostly back to normal this morning. It was weird, though. Will keep watch.

I'm starting to have concerns that the ADHD meds, while they work great, are possibly having the unwelcome side effect of making me feel kind of crappier than normal when I'm not taking them. I need to do some looking into that. Or maybe I've just been at a life crossroads too long and it's starting to wear on me.

I'm listening to Midnight Burger Shift Notes for a little boost this morning. That always helps.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Good morning all. Happy birthday, Calli!

The heat isn't working and my house is freezing. When I called our HVAC guys to make an appointment, I got the AI agent again only this time I *confirmed* he was AI because we got stuck in a loop where he didn't understand me saying "gas" over and over again, so I took a gamble and said "Please connect me to a real person" and he said "Okay I'll connect you to a live agent." CONFIRMED Brock does not exist.

Hmmm... "gas" seems like a pretty basic word that and HVAC employed AI ought to be better trained on! I hope you're heat gets fixed soon.
