No longer checking DMs etc. account is in process of being archived and transferred to Bsky. Once that’s done it’s being locked down here. Much love. But I’m not sitting here to get bombarded by the garbage we see

X is rolling out their new “block” function. As a reminder I’m mostly on BSky for candid interactions. Still working on building out threads. I’m checking here for specific news accounts, the few of you who haven’t moved, and DMs.

Quick checkin- Mom got a serious cut to her hand this week, and the result is I’m exhausted after a week of parental care. I’m on limited mental capacity and quiet as a result. I’m fine using the adjusted parameters.

One reason I stay with Southwest. They and Delta do a lot of giving back to animal rescue https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/pilot-adopts-kitten-after-flying-shelter-pets-hurricanes/story?id=114822310

Meanwhile I’m geeked as heck at having gotten multiple days of my cat humor Potats errr posts out! Breaking writers block when it’s humor based writing is hard. This week’s arc started Monday. It’s a fumetti style approach. Catch up here...

And off to the races we go. As always, y’all do so much and I’m grateful as hell. Covering expenses and getting set to have some critical stuff here is a huge relief. Moving sucks y’all. Zero stars Ilene agrees (link next post)

It’s really hard to stay awake with a gigantic kitten snoozing on you. Never change Nutters

Signs that fall is here- Mom goes through my Autumn mix candy and steals all the pumpkins.

So general life update. After several months of prep and help from friends, I’ve finally pulled the trigger on officially relocating out of Texas. Stuff in storage is on the way here. Mom’s isn’t the final destination, but it’s a good call for now.

This week has been exhausting. One more vet appointment today (nothing serious, just establishing care) and I can rest this weekend. Maybe.

@PhysiosForME asked @exceedhergrasp1 and she referred me over to you. Is there anything out there that has ideas/guidance regarding approaching physical reconditioning for people with PEM showing symptom improvement? (Not looking for detailed recs) cc @sunsopeningband

@BestBuyCanHelp hey there- bought a new portable AC unit last week. Unit is not turning on now. What are my exchange options? Box was tossed because huge and I’m in a small apartment

@jbhelfrich blast form the past- I just bumped into Jen Vodvarka from rec.arts.comics.xbooks over on another social site

So because Twitter is being such a pain, I am posting more on Bsky. With that said, I’m realizing I forgot to tell y’all here that I’m close to opening doors on my pet hospice consulting biz. This has been something I’ve wanted to do for a decade. I’m super excited

When you want mom to play fetch, and her LC dysautonomia means she cant bend over Cue cranky Queso

Joxer discovered the joys of sleeping on Momma’s pillow

@rumpfshaker awesome article re Taylor and the Post!

Clinic- so you only have one cat with you? Me- yes. Joxer declined his invitation and proceeded to climb into the couch. I was not in a mood to dig his ass out. Clinic- *laughs* Fair! Crackerjack- you only got me because I was asleep…this sucks.

@IpLongCovid thinking about you today.

Okay, that Chapman/Combs performance was freaking magic. Shes completely relaxed and he’s clearly “holy shit, I’m onstage with Tracy Chapman” Also loving that Taylor again said f it, and is having a blast.

So @visible_health added a “social” exertion section. I really like that add and it’s helping me to tweak my exertion data. I’ve been having to parse social exertion between mental and emotional and neither quite works. Excellent add!

So baby toast cat has ear mites. Because of course she does. If you would like to help cover cost for her meds- we would love some chewy gift cards! (Amazon isn’t good because counterfeit meds are a whole thing) https://www.chewy.com/dp/173098?utm_source=app-share&utm_campaign=173098

Good morning Toast Cat! Vet appointment at 10 to check the mess she made of her ear

Bloop! Little Joxer has discovered the tall cat tower and is VERY excited. We’re doing a short round of gabapentain to help with a little anxiety management and it’s helping! He’s been exploring more today.

I fried myself watching football yesterday. Today my brain is refusing to kick over and behave in a reasonable manner. Zero regrets, because football drama aside I did an excellent job balancing the day. But also some sulks today because stupid energy limiting illness. F 🦠

Congrats to @AllThingsCivil and @oshwin for surviving the game Are your eardrums still intact?

Soooo. New problem Watching football elevates my heart rate too much. I’m doing nothing. Just watching the game. And watching my pace points get chomped through. Stupid long COVID

❤️ Nutters is just glad he’s not on the cone

Pinched nerve in neck. Ow ow ow

Still working to cover this month. Anything helps. https://gofund.me/f19f2ced
