Pissah



So, Moby is an old guy with a casual attitude toward where he takes a piss. Any rug left on the bathroom floor was clearly an invitation as long as he’s lived with us. Not new behaviour, but newly persistent, since the kidney troubles. He used this spot in front of this mirror in the dining room several times, the mirror helped me spot it before I stepped in the puddle. So, I put a rug I’ve been putting down in the laundry that he also likes to piss on. And now, it’s his new favorite place to sit, and not pee on.

Why?

Who knows. It’s a cat thing, I wouldn’t understand.

Brewing a migraine through the night. Short work day, got there, they had enough people, so as I deteriorated she sent me home. With a barf bag.



Thankful I didn’t need it in the car on the way home.


Not a severe migraine, but the best drug I have means I really can’t drive or work safely. Should be fine by afternoon.

Dry, hot winds yesterday. 4% relative humidity and 97F, 30 mph gusts. One other person at work got a migraine last night,but got it under control. Another has a sinus issue. I dread the fireworks coming, there will be fires. It’ll be a wicked pissah.

It sounds awfully like being here with high temperatures and fireworks tonight. A ridiculous combination in tinder-dry conditions, but the expensive school next door celebrates its end of term in this way. I rather hope they burn out their cricket pitches and pavilions rather than our sheds and gardens.

Well done, Moby. A friend's elderly dog, always anxious to please, sticks his head out through the dog/cat-flap while peeing on the rug inside.

RR,

Ha! Poor old dog. I have a half dozen washable rugs for the purpose.

I love fireworks, but it’s just not worth it.

I think Moby just likes to lie there and admire his reflection.

And I've heard that cannabis is helpful with migraines. Tried it?

Cat,

Not legal in my state or my workplace. I could lose my license. Bendryl & Aleve work, with acupuncture and sinus irritation. I don’t get them often anymore. And nowhere near as severe as before. I do hope cannabis gets legal and properly researched soon, though.

Cat,

If he could see better, I’d completely agree.
