Today has been a very tiring day for Treacle Kitten. She has been to the vets to be neutered, she's doing well but she's struggling to get used to the vest she has to wear. While she looks adorable wearing it, I couldn't get a good photo and I dont want to try her patience too much.

Thanks @FayetheADHDsquirrel :-) She seems to be getting more settled again now she's home. I'm just worried she might get the zoomies and bounce around too much so I'm following her like a mother hen constantly 😸

I have a tomcat recently a tom-kitten who must be to the vet's as well. Unfortunately he's a cryptorchid cat as far as I can tell it and the operation will be that much more complicated.

Your kitten is very pretty & I am sure she's going to be fine; it's hard enough to keep a kitten from wriggling around. Good luck!

Before we were sure that Treacle was a girl I was worried that she may have similar complications. I'm sorry that your kitty may have to go through a more difficult procedure 🙁 Treacle has settled down a lot now and she seems very happy to be home and lots of her favorite foods! But I will be watching and checking on her a lot to keep her safe :-)

Looking at sand through a microscope is like looking at a whole different world (they look like sea shells).

Sounds interesting. I'll have to try that. I feel silly now for never thinking to look at sand under it before.🤦🏼‍♀️

A geologist was on NPR last Sunday morning talking about his theory that rocks, too, evolved in conjunction with the living organisms that shaped the world around them. Very possible that your sample is actually the miniscule skeletons of ancient beasts.

Well, I got my samples from my yard.

I have been keeping busy by building a computer. I've never done so before, but have wanted to since I was a kid: my brother used to build his own PCs all the time. I'm just hoping it works out.

I think you'll do great. Let us know how it turns out.

I'm also looking forward to hearing how you go. I built my own for 20 years but have lost interest in that in the last few years.

I want to have a massive BBQ with all of my friends, in the backyard of my dream house with an Olympic swimming pool. Of course, you're all invited if this ever happens. I'll make ribs in the smoker I currently do not own.

Internet was real wonky for the last few days.

I could access most sites, but some, like this one, wouldn't load.

We had monster rainstorms last night, though, so maybe things will work now.

The microscopic world is very interesting.

Can't go wrong with a microscope. Monsters in every drop of water!

Do you ever like to try to draw what you see? I wish I had one of those microscope cameras. It would go along well with my other photography and kinda bridge the gap between two of my hobbies.

I would, but my drawing skills could use some improvement.

I always keep a jar of Gatorade in the fridge. Never know when I might need a hit!

i got my gatorade (well powerade technically) at the dollar store so they didn't have like the bigger plastic containers for the powdered form but they did have some small boxes of electrolyte drink powders in single serve sticks, so i got three of them just to have them (i haven't even drunk any of my powerade yet)

Had another nuclear meltdown in a park performance. No one cared even after knocking down trash cans and threatening to jump off the pier, even walking into a car it just drove past me. People in NYC don't even care if you try to commit suicide

You put fear in me thanks so much. I will save this next time I think about doing this in public.

I dare say you're not thinking in the heat of the moment. Saving this won't cut it, it's too impulsive, too powerful. How much time between the stimulus and reaction is there? I'm guessing it's miliseconds. You need something to break the chain of reaction when you're overwhelmed by your emotions again. I would write to your psychiatrist and spell out what's going on so they understand.

Delay at your peril!

I hope the smoke doesn't activate the carbon monoxide shutoff circuitry in my generator. Generators can be hard to start in smoke due to companies trying to head off lawsuits by stupid people insisting on running them indoors.

You should be able to get around that if you can rig up a decent air filter for it, smoke is more fine particles than gas.

Turns out that the generator started right up. By midday the smoke had thinned enough so that there was no problem.

There is a huge wildfire in the far southwestern part of Siskiyou County, in mainly unpopulated forestlands. There is 20mph wind blowing the smoke towards Yreka and well beyond.

I had my window open all night without knowing about the smoke. I woke up sick.

Planning on learning to drive soon. I wasted a summer not doing anything because travelling is too expensive otherwise.

Good luck with the driving, @Zain.
Are you feeling pretty confident?
Zain

@Rodafina Neither. I'm indifferent. I'm doing it so I have a plan B in case I get thrown out my home, or if I have housing issues for whatever reason in the future.

What is going on with your name change?

Hazel_1914
the number is a reference to the year Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot and WWI broke out which I still think could be seen as a valid line of demarcation between "Christendom/Western civilization" and the modern world.
the name itself changed because I am trans, and my previous username borrowed on Latin which is a heavily gendered language (you see it in the suffixes) and referred to a piece by Elgar

the whole thing started as a science experiment last winter and it got a little out of hand but fixed 10 or 12 years of depression - which is reason enough.

I have a bright red spot on the left side in the white of my left eye. My boss is telling me there's no need for alarm and it looks worse than it most likely is. It is a bit sore, though.

That reminds me. I haven't had a red splotch appear in
the white of either of my eyes in months. When those
have happened to my eyes it wasn't sore, though.

Might be an onset of Conjunctivitis.

I have not ever known why the occasional bright red spot
would occur in the white of either of my eyes. No injury
caused them and there has not ever been subsequent
problem. Spot appears. Remains a couple days. Goes
away.

How are things in Ecuador? Do you like living there?
