Biggie... still

I ordered Biggie some new suits. The first was just too small. The second one was much better. Better closure, better fit and better fabric. Except, in the middle of the night, I woke up to find him snuggled next to me... naked.

I got up and got one of his cones and put it on him. And we went back to sleep. This morning, I found his suit in the living room still fastened. He'd just walked out of the neck. One of the others has a better neck enclosure so that's what he's wearing now.

His suture looks ok. The swelling is either back or I imagined it gone yesterday. It's not as bad as Wednesday but there's still a little mound. He's eating and pooping with abandon and keeping an eye on the birds this morning.

And my lap is required at all times.

I need orange juice and toilet paper and maybe a salad. And I have Amazon returns so I'll be off to Amazon Fresh this morning. And that's really it for plans. TV and crocheting.

It's not me... it's my heating pad

I moved the heating pad over to the other recliner before I went to the grocery store this morning. And, sure enough, my lap is now historic and no longer valid. I can just move the pad over to my lap so no big deal.

I did get errands done. I found some wonderful stuff in the salad bar - It was labeled Thai beef and it was just delicious. I was smart enough to get a lot. Enough for lunch and dinner. $6. Yum!

I spent the afternoon trying to get my phone to ring. The number not-answer problems I hit last weekend have continued. So I tried a few dozen more things and then gathered all the data and went to both the Google Voice forums and Reddit.

Finally a guy on Reddit asked a question that led me to the answer and now I'm 97% fixed which is good enough for me. At least now when people call my main number, the phone rings. If I don't answer it goes to voice mail. Finalfuckingly. In fact, it was exactly this time last week when I was sitting here waiting for the call from Biggie's surgeon who had called 3 hours earlier and I didn't know it. I waited another hour and a half before finally calling him to find out. Rather not do it that way again.

My twitter feed seems to be full of people with 2 shots and a booster who got COVID over Thanksgiving. The latest is a guy who also had had it last spring in addition to the vaccinations and booster. HOLY FUCK. I am so grateful for our masks in Seattle. I have to go to the vet twice next week but I think beside that I may even rethink my store walking. Maybe.
