Got through yesterday, and as we were finishing up, I was asked to be called off today. I said sure. A headache was building up anyway. By the time I got home, through the smoky, dusty air, it was forming into a sort of migraine. I drugged up, all legal stuff mind, cola for caffeine, naproxen and benedryl, crackers. By 1830 I had to lie down and couldn't keep my eyes open, but the incipient migranouse was seeping away.
Not that I slept exactly, so when the storm blew through about 2030, we sat on the porch and savored the wind and lightning, then the rain. A respectable amount of precipitation in this dry waning summer. I slept after.
Drifted awake, Zeppo came up to head butt me and cuddle. He does get excited, and wants to nibble and kick, not mean, just enthusiastic. Glaikit wee pousie. He's figuring out we don't like it, "Oh, yeah, I forgot..." Then I can scritch his chin, and his giant purr machine revs up again. I don't realize until I get up that it's only 0430.
I'll get a nap later.

Wouldna call Zeppo glaiket! (Ugly)
Oh, it seemed to come up as silly or foolish. Ugly, no definitely not that.
Glaikit is Scots and means stupid (in Scotland, at least). I was astonished to see you using it where you are!
