Seconding the rec for the beuer "insect bite healer" (or similar), it has been absolutely life-changing for me as someone who previously was rotating through four different anti-itch lotions to (barely) get relief without overusing any one.

(I've held off because he was previously only on dental diet for his "treats" which is too big, but they also get a little bit of LiveClear these days which is tiny. And also because I don't want to add more activities where he gets more dry food than Pumpkin, who needs the calories more.)

Possibly Cartwheel needs these for the days I'm not around to take him out at night to be Rodent Patrol. (Self-appointed job, but he's getting good at it -- he got one rat last night, might have gotten a second if I had realized what was going on and given him more slack in the leash)

Are you Somerville-ish? This would be a really amusing use of Cartwheel’s Kitten Harness Lending Library. (tinyurl.com/harness-library) (We’d absolutely get a big kick out of bringing the whole bin out on the porch and trying them all on Lucy)

*facepalm* I have been enjoying the fact that allergy shots meant that it was not dire that I ran out of Zyrtec, but my sleep has been horrible. Guess I need to get more and run that experiment.

Yes, I've thought to myself multiple times "ooh I want to hand this to my honorary little sis in book form" (This is not generically true of webcomics I read, and I usually wait until they are finished. I think I only have have Digger and Darwin Carmichael is Going to Hell in book form)

I made this back in 2017 on Twitter and it's been stolen so many times so I better post it here too before someone else does! 🧪⚒️ #geology #minerals #volcanology

A lava lamp is sitting on the grass and is labelled "lava lamp". There's another lava lamp below the ground, in the dirt and it's labelled "magma lamp". It's a handy way to remember the difference between lava (molten rock above ground) and magma (underground). I've put a watermark on it "© @NadWGab, 2017" because it's been stolen more times than I can count.

Here’s the #penguinpicoftheday, #PPOTD, this time of little blue penguins at the International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch. All these little friends were rescued and cannot survive in the wild so they hang out here and entertain tourists instead. Not a terrible gig. 🧪🦑🦉🌏

I first misinterpreted this diagram to be "where to insert the explosives into the carcass" which is a much different prospect than just putting them underneath. (End result probably the same though)

Gabapentin comes in capsules that can be mixed into food, and almost all cats are fine with that. (My cat Nawal appears to be a super-taster.) Gaba is great as an anxiolytic/sedative ahead of vet visits (or anything stressful), sounds like that would also be useful for her!

And of course, letting your body have as much rest as it needs, and then not pushing yourself too hard post-acute-infection.

Sally @ciaccona.bsky.social · 26/08/2023

Oh nooo :-( Things you can do now even without a + test or access to Enovid - nasal irrigation with saline appears to be very helpful - staying hydrated is really important (Dehydration during acute infection may be correlated with long covid and is definitely correlated with feeling worse!)

Alas Librela is not yet available (FDA approved it in May but it's not actually shipping yet -- Golden Ratio ended up driving Hopper to Canada to get a prescription) and it's probably $$$ for a dog his size too.
