Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That is my new superhero name, btw: Max A/C!
Sounds pretty cool.

In less fun news, I opened a nearly full bag of cat food to find it full of ants. Ugh, I hate those swarmy little creatures. I've just about made my peace with them outside, where they have a role, but not in my home. Anyway, Javier got to have a breakfast made entirely of treats, so as far as he's concerned it's the best morning ever.

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

Sounds pretty cool.

OMG you guys Covid SUCKS. Like it really, really, sucks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

OMG you guys Covid SUCKS. Like it really, really, sucks.

That's the rumor. I hope it passes quickly!

We made SMEG coffee this morning and it was delicious.

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

Should've gotten each bat their own vaccination, I guess.

I'm sorry! Too many people I know are getting infected despite being vaccinated. Not good.

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

I fly to Texas on Sat and I am really not thrilled with the prospects of not getting it again.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Maria, I'm so terribly sorry. I hope the local community is a comfort to you.

JZ and David, I have been watching the moving travails and cheering - did you hear me? - though I am outraged/not surprised about the detritus the detritus human left in the attic. Has it all been relocated to the dump now?
