Bad Habit

Biggie has developed, just this week, a very bad habit. He gets Stickie and brings it up here on the couch and over to me. If I do not pick it up right away and start playing, he bites. Not a giant chomp, mainly just grips my sleeve with his teeth but he has missed a time or two and gripped my hand. Flesh. With teeth. Not good.

I'm now very careful to let time pass between when he brings it to me and when I pick it up. If he does not bite, we play. If he bites, we do not.

And, in related news, I'm not sure he's the sharpest knife in the drawer. At least I will not have to worry about college expenses or him.

I think we can say buh bye to the rest of the leaves today. We have big wind warnings and it's gusting out there already. Now I need to get my neighbors to quit pulling down their damn blinds!

The news this morning is that Amazon is getting into the pharmacy biz. They have had a pill pack deal for a while but this is different. A full on two-day delivery pharmacy. Not great if you Need It Now but it could be really great for me. I think I'm going to try it first with my expensive every day inhaler. My annual prescription runs out mid-January and I think, when I re-up, I'm going to try it out. I'm guessing the price will be the same as Costco. Delivery will be nice. But 5% off using my Amazon Visa will be even nicer. Should shave $20 off a month! My insurance company (Humana) has their own mail order drug situation but they are a mess to deal with. I'm good with Amazon.

I zoomed into the HOA meeting last night. I am usually the only non-board member there and I am there every time. I never say a word. I'm guessing it makes them twitchy. I'm hoping it does. They really are a bunch o idiots. With zero time management skills and a great love of hearing their own voices - no substantial content needed.

Today's excitement includes a little mini road trip down to the Amazon drop off place to return a package. And I might just pick up a sandwich at the bagel place. I do love their lox sandwich and they do still have safe pickup.

But, all this frivolous driving around is going to cost me. I may well have to buy more gas here in the next month or so.

Good. I say keep them nervous. There's nothing like nerves to promote honesty.

"Cat watcher" and "cat whisperer" folks say that's a kind of love nip, a sort of intense kiss.

The big male cat at our house gets after me for his breakfast in the morning by nibbling on the point of my elbow. He's a lot gentler about it now than he used to be but it's always startling, because he's been known to exert some pressure, apparently afraid I won't understand, if he doesn't bear down a bit.

That explains the change in terms to Amazon Associates (their advertising/affiliate system that lets small publishers like me make a few bucks) that refers to Amazon Pharmacy. I thought it was interesting last night but didn't go digging.

Honestly if some massive profit-making conglomerate I enjoy doing business with wants to take over from the massive profit-making conglomerates that currently monopolize healthcare, I'd be OK with that.
