Odd thing is, an actual broken record usually doesn't sound like a broken record. But a scratched record often does.

She's very good at it.

 
Shouldn't those boxes be classifed as Hope Chests?
 

That reminds me of a line from M*A*S*H:
Frank Burns: “I’ll be frank with you, Pierce.”
To which is replied:
Benjamin ”Hawkeye” Pierce: “I’ll be Pierce with you, Frank.”

Comic for Monday, Jan 15, 2024
So Hope lives in a supernatural room, and changes her clothes magically, but sleeps like a human and dwells in the physical universe.
Cute that she cares that Justin and Luke, both of whom she barely knows, are happy. "I (as Pandora) marked you, now I am responsible for you"?
Does she breathe oxygen, and how does the room get fresh air?
. . . So, up to now, the cast was Hopeless, and now they are encountering Hope.

The King formerly known as Prince?

"I don't know if you noticed or not, I supect you have, but it's sorta nippy in here right now.  Maybe go under the covers in a while?" - Explorer the Cat.

"I feel frisky and The Human put his foot near me.  Must Attack the foot!" - Explorer the Cat.
 

"Why you bothering me with the  flashy thing?  I'm under the desk so I'm not in the right now.  Might get on the desk in a few minutes" - Explorer the Cat.

 
Plan anything you want.
If the Red Dot shows up, all other concerns hit the litter box.
 

"Thinking about what I'm gonna do for the day." - Explorer the Cat.

"Yeah, I'm a little grumpy.   The Human stayed in bed way too long" - Explorer the Cat.

On the next page, the stack of twenties that Hope hands to Justin looks to be four or five bills, and her change comes to $7.83, so a total of about $65 or $85 plus sales tax seems right.

"Getting ready to jump up on the desk and help The Human" - Explorer the Cat.
 

"I'm not grumpy this morning, you're grumpy..." - Explorer the Cat.

 
Have we met a character named Cassandra?
Doesn't matter.  I don't believe her anyway.
 

Well, whatever it was, it was somewhat alleviated by reseating the dressing. The nurse had put it on in a sideways orientation. I had her put it on in the more conventional top-to-bottom orientation, and I felt immediate relief. It still itches a little bit just by being there, but not nearly as much as before.
The sleep situation is still there, albeit not as bad. I guess. I've been asleep most of today. We shall see what the night brings.
Tomorrow is going to be interesting as well. We're doing a "down-and-back" to the Georgetown area to finally have family Christmas with the rest of Mrs. Prof's kinfolk. We'll be driving in excess of 3 hours down and 3 hours up, plus we'll have the party at one of her brothers' homes, so who knows how I'll respond. One thing is for certain - I'll be doing an IV infusion while we're in transit on the road, since the cefepime plus the vancomycin usually takes about 3 hours to infuse. My morning infusion is scheduled for sometime between 9:30 am and 10 am, so we'll probably have to pull over down just north of Waco to get it started. My nighttime infusion starts 12 hours later, so I'll most likely be home before we start it up.
No, it's not TMI, I'm just planning for myself. Gotta get this crap laid out in my head before we leave. Besides, if I get back and find the house ransacked, I'll know to whom I should point the cops at. 

"Must Get The Red Dot!!" - Explorer the Cat.
 

 
The currency she uses is good enough to pass inspection by a kid working retail.  But still I wonder . . . .
Perhaps world economics are run by inhuman forces that are unconcerned with human law, ethics or morality.
 

"Time to start running!" - Explorer the Cat.
 

Low though my expectations for 2024 be, still, wishing you all a happy new year!

 
Not sure this is a "New" year 
It feels like a lot of surplus and reused bits from the last few decades 
Whoever is cobbling this calendar together, could you find some parts with less paranoia and victim mentality? 
Thanks 
 

"Why is The Human waving his hand around?" - Explorer the Cat.
 

"Getting ready to do some running this morning.  The Human got out of bed late, so I stayed with him so my running time is late as well" - Explorer the Cat.
 

"What's that noise?" - Explorer the Cat.
