Happy Thorsday! It’s cool now, hot later, then rain for three days. I have to go pick up my meds today since I’ll be taking the last two pills this am. I should have gotten them Toosday but getting up and out isn’t easy right now. I’m so stressed out right now I can’t even think straight. I need to take a couple of deep breaths and keep reminding myself one thing at a time. ---

That hawk hung out there for the rest of the hour until I went home. I went out to take some crappy pictures with my cellphone and many other people did as well. He just watched us. I think he was still a juvenile. He had a patch of fluff on his head and on his belly, though still regal looking. I brought my good camera in today, just in case! ---

And Christopher Lee died.☹ A man who “did things” in WWII with the SAS, had multiple acting roles over 6 decades, and made a metal album in his 80s( \m/–\m/ ). He will be missed. {{{{ **sari** }}}} ---

Imagine what he saw in his time. He got to act until very late in his life and was still pretty universally loved. I think he had a good life. Hugs to Sari! Breathe in…breathe out… ---

Petco is a dangerous place - at least the pens in the front where they have the adoptable kittehs is dangerous. I stopped there this morning to get some Nature’s Miracle, and I had to go look at the kittehs - I HAD TO!!! They had a whole pile of 10-week-old fuzzies looking all adorable, plus an older black cat who literally cried for skritches. Lucky for me, today isn’t an adoption day. Plus I can’t have any more cats. I don’t need the additional vet bills or food bills or litter boxes. But they were so CUTE!!! Dammit. Three stops and I managed to get all the stuff on my list, plus a couple extras that I’d forgotten to write down. I even loaded the plywood by myself - go me! I got a new sponge mop - do I do the kitchen floor now or not? I’m thinking not. 😃 Temp’s rising - the house is now closed and the a/c is on. I do not like summer much. ---

I joined Amazon prime after my son fell in love with a kitten at petco. I believe in love at first sight when you see anything fluffy. ---

\*\*Gothic \*\*- little fuzzies make me all warm and squishy inside, but I know my limits. Plus I’m pretty sure my husband would divorce me if I brought another cat home… Better for me to just donate to the local animal rescue groups. ---

**mika** , if you post a link to your FB page, we can send you friend requests. There is also a SDMB group with a list of our IRL names so you have a clue who all of those strange people sending you friend requests are. 😛 **Moooom** , when you’re at PetCo, don’t buy anything on the bottom shelf. :eek: **{{{Emily}}}** , I hope that your mom is now getting the help she needs. **ruble** , have fun! It’s been a productive day so far. I like days like that. 🙂 ETA: ninja’d by **Emily**. 😛 ---

I just ran thru the list on the group page, and I think I got all the Mumpers in my list, but if I didn’t, it’s because my eyes glazed over. Send me a friend request if I haven’t sent you one, and you can see all the amazing minutiae of my life that I don’t share here. Plus pics of my cats. And other stuff. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/skeeters-in-the-mmp/721962.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/skeeters-in-the-mmp/721962.md?page=11)
