Ojai is preparing for the war against AI by swatting the vacuum bot. I suspect she has also been putting her toys in it's path to jam the brush so it stops working. I get the notices, and have to move it to the base when I get home.

I think she's forgiven me for getting her fixed and chipped.

Went to Old Tunnel State Park to see the bats leaving for their nightly hunt tonight. This site houses about 3 million bats.

Ojai is home. She hid initially but joined me on the couch for pets. She was pregnant, it was addressed. This is the part that the cat distribution system neglects to tell you, that free parking lot cat can be expensive!

My free parking lot cat is getting spayed today. The doctor called to confirm she is pregnant, so they wanted approval to terminate (yes), and it's causing her to be anemic so they want to keep her overnight. DO NOT F- ME OVER UNIVERSE!!!

Well crap. If anyone needs me I'll be hanging out on my couch with Lady Ojai watching DVDs!

Some pictures from my walk this morning. Those aren't eggs on the damselfly, those are water mites. I would have missed the mantis, but there was some interesting lichen on the same tree. All in all a quality walk.

I picked up Lady Ojai this morning and stepped out the back door to let her see the back yard. She freaked out, clawed her way up my shoulder, jumped back into the house and hid. So I guess it's safe to say she won't be running away, like ever.

She has an eye infection so I have to put drops in them. Apparently, this is where she goes when she's mad and doesn't want to see me. She just doesn't quite fit, so that paw is always sticking out.

With the help of construction here in San Antonio, I was able to make a 15 minute drive in just under 45 minutes this morning! For the low, low price of a tank of gas I can teach you my secret!

She came out from under the bed thus morning. She's so skinny, but we'll work on that. Goes to the vet Monday. Meet Lady Penumbra Ojai, or Ojai for short. She was being vocal when I was getting ready for work, so she earned a half scoop of dry food in her bowl.

The cat I kidnapped from the parking lot at work disappeared this morning. I couldn't find it for an hour. I finally started playing momma cat sounds over my speakers and I saw it under this little table. I know I looked under there! How do they do that!?

The cat distribution system keeps sending me voids. Found this one wandering around the parking lot at work, didn't have any gear so I just had to grab it. Lost a slice of flesh on my pinky, but I couldn't just leave it. No more streets for you little one!

I just spent 30 minutes at the store trying to pick a caulk. Executive dysfunction blows. There should be an ADHD hotline we can call for someone to just tell us to get the one that's in our hand and stop overthinking it.

Last night was a good night out with the TG7, there were a lot of spiders and toads and a surprise appearance by a scorpion (which was being consumed by Velvet Mites). You can see the babies on the back of the mom, and she's devouring a cricket.

Tonight on my walk, I was threatened by this chunky scorpion, and I watched a toad poop. I never knew that's what toad poop looked like.

My new home was pre-wired for internet. However, even though I've activated service there is still a $100 charge for a tech to come out to "activate" the port. Are all businesses just inherently evil now?

I don't close on my house until the 15th, but they told me I can go in and take pictures/measurements. So I brought my Bluetooth speakers and am just sitting in my future bedroom listening to my music. This is a good moment.

Well today was my last day in the house. All the cats and the dog slept in the room with me last night. I gave them all hugs and kisses before I left this morning, and a special message for each of them. This is the worst part of my divorce.

The face of a little guy that has no idea he's getting up early tomorrow for his deballification procedure. Snip, snip little dude. Welcome to the club, it's mandatory for ALL males in this household. Well I didn't get mine removed, but there was a snip!

Took Italian Slider to the vet today for his pre-snip bloodwork... not a good day to be there. Several pets brought in for triage, I broke when a man walked in carrying a box. Praise to the people that work there and help us through these times.

I was really, really late getting home from work yesterday. All my animals were starving and so happy to see me. I apologetically filled their bowls... then I found the note from my daughter that they had already been fed. The punks lied to me!

Well I took my final ride on my little Yamaha XMax. Took it to the shop for consignment. Just not using it enough since I got the Piaggio. The Yamaha always feels so wild when I ride it, it's definitely more sporty. I hope you find a good home Smoke!

After a week on meds, Italian Slider's RBC count has improved. In another week we go back and check his blood again, and if it's better we can talk about getting him snipped and chipped!

Got Italian Slider into the vet. They think he's about a year old, little small for his age. Going to look at his webbed toes to determine if it causes him discomfort. But he's just chillin' on the counter.

Saw an injured cat in the Walmart parking lot while I was on lunch. Fortunately it wanted to share my lunch meat, so it was easy to apprehend. I'll take Italian Slider to the vet in the morning.

Remember when Senator Kelly reminded troops that they can reject illegal orders? We cannot count on their conscience if it ever comes to hurting people here at home. This is why many founding fathers were opposed to having a standing army.

First day of production at the new job. Training was about a month long. Don't have to be at work until 1, but my stupid brain is still on the training schedule so of course it woke me up at 6am. Guess who's going to need a hit of caffeine in a few hours!
