Alli, my tortie, is *big mad*. Why? Beats the hell outta me. But everything she does is at 110% so here we are. To be fair she has her "eyebrows" that make her look angry even when she isn't, but she also gets pissed off at the mere existence of the other cats, or because they groom her for a second too long, or because they're sitting where she wants to sit-in which case she just sits on top of them and seems to really enjoy it. When people say torties and calicos are a bit "spicier" than most, that is 100% true. And I gave Alli pets right after I took this and she immediately flipped to being super happy and affectionate..she's a funny cat. Everyone at work loves her.
On that note, I need to get out for a run before work, it's another busy day and it's raining again -_-. Still dealing with eczema in the middle of my face, my back wants to flare up, and my swollen lymph node from last week has gone down but not all the way, and now one on the other side is swelling up. I wish I had any idea why, it's bugging me that I don't know, and giving me even more anxiety that I don't need...
Hope everyone is doing ok, whether they check in or not. If nothing else, enjoy my angry tortie

Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...
Hoping the Leo and Mr. Leo are doing OK and that the first appointments at Mass General go smoothly.
It's cold here again today but not quite as miserable as yesterday. We have rain again which is really needed. More on Thursday which is good. Having to run the furnace in the middle of June is crazy.
I have an appointment today which I need to get ready for and get out of here. Not doing well today in the anxiety department again. I will check back later. Shoutout to Milily, AngelaJo, JP, LilMissy, Leo, PuppyMom and Blue. Waves!
