“I'm not in your way. You still need to make the salty stuff and your boring tea. Once those are done, I'll let you sit in the chair. I see why you sit here so much; it's a comfy chair.” - Explorer the Cat.

Appointment made for getting Explorer, my cat, fixed. Soonest they can do her is Feb 26, which is a little longer than I wanted, but I can live with that.

Back in the summer of 83, I introduced my maintenance section to Ogre. Damn, that was a long time ago.

I've found my next D&D party.

“The Human is moving a little faster today than yesterday. Just a little. He made the salty stuff and is making boring tea, so he's doing better. I'm gonna help him if he starts to use the butt warmer anymore.” - Explorer the Cat.

Steve Jackson, of Steve Jackson games, is stepping down as CEO to focus on game design. For gamers of certain age, this is a big deal. https://www.rascal.news/steve-jackson-games-eponymous-ceo-steps-down-to-focus-on-designing-new-games/

Yes, I did a bad thing on the cut and paste. Fixing it now.

Here it is. Rhoda does make a good point. She was given powerful tools and used them.

I was just called by the clinic. My blood tests are all normal. This includes my kidney function, which is 64. I still need to stay off NSAIDs.

Feeling optimistic that I can get some writing on Project X, or maybe even my Space Fantasy game, done today. I need to name that something. The current name “Edge of Imperial Space” really doesn't fit it anymore. Took antihistamines with my normal morning drugs and no current headache. Going to finish breakfast and my cat photo stuff, then may dive in.

Here it is. Yeah, predicting Catalina might be hard, even for Pandora.

“The Human is having 'side effects' today, so we are probably staying in bed for most of today. He did get up to eat something, but he will be in bed soon. He's not even making boring tea, which means he's really not feeling good.” - Explorer the Cat.

I think she was in “I don't really care about humans” mode at that time. She marked and left.

That would be better than the “in person” video game thing that DS has a tendency to do.

Here it is. So Jay is a bit freaked out by “a date.” At least the next story line is what happens next, not some random video game thing.

Here it is. She could just ask Greg. After all, he knows who Tri-Squirrel is; he named her.

In addition to my blood draw, I got my flu shot for the winter because Fuck RFK Jr.

“The Human went to his vet today, to get some blood taken. He couldn't eat breakfast before, so he's a little cranky. He's eating a bowl of human kibble right now. I'm gonna help him do that. That or help him with the butt warmer. He's more active than normal.” - Explorer the Cat.

I just had a fasting blood draw. And I forgot to bring something to eat after. My ride isn't scheduled to arrive for another 30 minutes. Not gruntled.

More dancing rodents!

#1stworld-problem. I noticed that the charge on my “stop me from hearing thing” drug was $22 and change. Normally it's ~$66. They delivered the bottle, and I found out why; it's just 30 pills, not 90 like normal. Thankfully, I'll be seeing Sandra before this runs out and I can get a 90-day supply like normal. I don't want to have to order it monthly if I can avoid it.

“The Human is not moving this morning. Not at all. He got up for a few minutes to take his pills, then made some salty stuff, then he went back to bed. No big, I'll just hang out with him, until it's time to eat. After I eat, if he's still in bed, I'll come back.” - Explorer the Cat.

I have a largeish medical bill to pay off. I've been making monthly payments on the 5th. I noticed that I didn't get tagged this month or last month. I went to the website and got a “Something went wrong” message. I found my most recent payment email and clicked on the “access your account” button and got the same thing. It's their problem now. They have my correct email address. They can ping me if and when they get their shit together. I checked the regular hospital website and went to the pay my bill thing and got a $0.00 current balance. It almost makes me think I've been scammed. I'll see if I get a paper bill or not.

“The Human is moving slowly this morning. That seems to be a thing with him. Anyway, I'm hanging out here next to the little butt warmer. We will start moving around 'soon' but that really might be a few.” - Explorer the Cat
