Wednesday

I did not have my air conditioner set to max last night and I thought my sleep was fairly miserable because I was hot. But, my sleep tracking begs to differ so what do I know. Well, I know I'm going to set the air conditioner to max tonight, for sure.

Not having a way to get a cross breeze and having only one single door for access to air from outside, this joint heats up and stays hot. It does not even pay to open the door in the morning. It doesn't cool off a thing. Plus it lets the sun in.

In the winter, it's fab. I have one Dyson Hot/Cool fan that I rarely even use. It's always warm enough in here without any extra anything to heat it up. But Summer? Ugh. It does seem to get better, though, as the Summer goes on and the a/c stays on constantly. I just need to get to that point.

I apparently made enough or the right tweaks and fixes to my phone as it has mostly stopped trying to replicate a red hot poker. I'm guessing mostly it was the threat of replacement.

I'm out today. I'm going to scooter over to the next door neighborhood to Daiso and Uwajimaya. I have a short list of stuff I want. They are now allowing small, clear bags at the ballpark and I'm hoping Daiso has them. None of Amazon's offerings are reasonably priced with delivery soon enough for tomorrow's game. I could get in the car and get the hunt on but I could also use a zip lock bag if push comes to ... So I'll go look at Daiso and hope and get bread at Uwajimaya which is just across the street.

The final of the British Sewing Bee is today. I'm planning to watch it before the baseball game. I might do some laundry. I might not. We'll see.

The Biggie Report

Five days ago, Biggie started taking kitty valium. I've been watching him like a hawk looking at everything he does more than once to see if it's a sign of the new him.

Before valium, he played in the mornings and slept all afternoon - usually under the bed. He sometimes came out about dinner time and then slept all night. Yesterday, he slept most of all the day under the bed. Today he was up early and has napped around the living room here and there. And striking the pose above which cracked me up.

For three days I stood at the counter and rattled his pill bottle and his treat cup and he came running. This morning he sat un moving on the couch when I rattled. So I went to him. He gave a half-hearted try to resist the pill but didn't put much into it and ate up his treats.

Just now he's out on his tree actively looking at his world.

He has not spent a lot of time near me, aka biting range. When he comes close, I try to scratch his head or rub his chin but he's not that keen on either. But, he hasn't tried to bite my hand or arm at all. Not even once.

Last night, I got up to pee and he got up and came in the bathroom and casually put his teeth on my shin. He didn't bite but clearly told me he could.

I know it's way too early to get a bead on how things will be but that doesn't stop me from watching and guessing.
