- Miss Erzabet No Biting had a tooth extracted yesterday, poor fuzzy. She was extremely stoned and wobbly when she came home. Also, according to the vet, she's a mutant that the vet never heard of: she has two extra teeth at the front of her top jaw. So she really is an extra-bitey kitty!

I need to give her the first dose of liquid pain meds, but she has tucked herself under a corner of a table in the living room, which means she's going to be very difficult to remove her from. I hate having to give her meds, because while she's pretty good about it, she definitely views it as a betrayal of her trust and will spend time avoiding me. 

- In news that will be shocking to no one who's known me for a while: I'm good at having difficult conversations. I don't shy away from them, because they're a thing that needs to be done. EXCEPT if it's a conversation where I feel I'm letting someone down. This is a long-winded way of admitting that I haven't called my friend who organizes the Vampire Masquerade Ball to let her know I'm not attending and she needs to line up a different emcee. She'll understand, but aaaaaaauuuugh I'm going to be letting her down and I'm a terrible person and hi, my Brain Raccoons are very active right now. Ugh.

- However, I am going to the Bauhaus show. It's in Seattle, it's one night, and all I'll be doing is getting dressed (and masked) up, sitting in a chair, and flailing. It'll leave me wiped out, but it it won't flatten me the way three days of travel/event/travel would for the VMB. 

- OH MY G-D MY BRAIN RACCOONS ARE LOUD. I've been feeling extra fragile and hair-trigger anxious/weepy. There's no specific reason (except the ongoing hellscape of the world), so there's an additional layer of frustration that the Brain Raccoons get to fling around with abandon. Meh. Do not want.

Stress always brings out the brain raccoons. You have a lot of stressors (hard conversation, plans that involve being around a lot of people, new minions that you are in charge of at work, all the general things, Dad's birthday, crap with russia, crap with china, crap with republicans, general crap, its winter so your D might be extra low... So you have LOTS of reasons for brain raccoons that are not out of nowhere. So maybe we can bonk one of them on the head at least.

Still, thats a lot of suck and I am sorry you are dealing with it.

Also add in that the kitty is unhappy and you need to deal with that - as well as that Covid is still prowling around! Very many reasons that the brain raccoons will be out and pitching a fit.

That betrayal of kitty trust is hard. No matter how many times you explain to them that the meds are for their benefit, they never listen and only flee and hide.

Of course your kitty is extra bitey. Of course.

Do I need to run over your brain raccoons with the banged-up Prius of love?
