The female woke up believing it was Saturday. It's not. It's Sunday. Gaaaaah!

Dear humans,


The female is descending into the caverns of madness. Hope may be lost for her. Allergies have created nasal congestion, coughing, a very mild sore throat from the coughing and the congestion and the constant clearing of her throat, and... the starts of a double ear infection due to the sinus issues.


Allergies = sinus problems = more problems = fun.


Not. Please use the sarcasm font. We need a sarcasm font.


She'll be okay, and she's handling this with good humor. Mostly. She finds holding her breath and popping her ears to be particularly hilarious right now, as instead of popping, they go blub blub blub.


Yeah. There's fluid in places in her head where the fluid doesn't belong.


Once again, she'll be okay, so please join us in laughing about the blub blub blub.


If you think that's weird, she has weird tear ducts, and on a bad day, she can hold her nose closed and blow bubbles out of her tear ducts. Today, fortunately, is not one of those days. She is not sick enough for that yet.


Humans are so weird.

Please enjoy this horribly blurry picture of my sister excitedly licking her chops over a new order of temptations. She loves temptations.


While I'm here snooping in my sister's photographs, please enjoy this picture of her playing in the wet place the female stores bubbles.

Are those pictures enough? No? Okay. One more.


Princess really likes chin scritches. She also enjoys interrupting the female while she's working.

Okay. We're done that. Here is a stolen snippet of The Run Around (Bernadette Franklin) for your enjoyment. Note: This one will be increasing to $5.99 in the afternoon of its release day, so if you want it for $4.99, you need to preorder it or purchase the morning of release day.


Hell manifested as a set of invoices registering the purchase of adult company under one of the marketer’s accounts, a rather illegal activity in the state of New York. The high water came along in the form of my boss flipping his lid on the hiring company. Within an hour of my unpleasant discovery of the acquisition of prostitutes for clients on the company’s dime, the cops showed up to claim the evidence, and they brought several employees from the company with them. I wasn’t sure why, but I decided against questioning the cops about it.


The invoices, which had been in the unsorted pile from the not-quite-accountants and only a few days old, cleared them of wrongdoing; they hadn’t even had a chance to see the damned things before it’d gotten into my hands. I could do without the cops leering at me, and I bet my entire face would be burned permanently red before I got through the job from hell.


Garret, still fuming to the point I expected smoke to roll out of his ears, paced around my office and made disgruntled noises while waiting for the entourage to finish clearing out.


“Prostitutes!” Garret grunted, flung his hands into the air, and resumed pacing. “And they weren’t even that Meltrew woman’s prostitutes. They were a marketer’s prostitutes. Why does this company have such a huge prostitution problem? How is this even possible?”


A professional remained calm in any situation, but I suspected my boss’s patience had finally snapped due to the unexpected illegalities. Embezzlement and other financial crimes tended to crop up often enough in our line of work, but the hiring of prostitutes was a new one.


Have a great Sunday folks!


(We do wish it were Saturday, though. The female wants a longer weekend. Yes, she's whining. She'll survive. Or she better. Or else!)

Love the pictures of your sister. I hope the female's allergies give her some relief soon. Thinking of you all, stay safe.

Thanks, Bernadette! We're hoping the trees in question are almost done blooming. We identified the culprit. It's white. It's happily blooming right now. It smells wonderful. It tries to murder the female with its wondrous smell. She would put it in her bathtub as the smelly stuff if she could figure out what it is, and she would deal with the consequences. It really smells that nice.

I have just finished reading all Bernadette's books yet again and thank you for the snippet...? preordered this one already...

What? Wait, you are sooooo mean my eyebrows rose while I was reading and then nothing!

The linden trees here haven't started booming get thank goodness as they are pretty deadly to my allergies the flowers make a lovely tea though

Oh poor sneaky kitty. It's no fun teasing the female when she's ill. Or is it more? I have a severe allergy to pine. No natural tree for me. Has she asked her doctor if a daily pill would help? I take one, but I know that not everyone is the same. If her ears are filling with fluid, she can get a dry heating pad, put it on low and lay on her side with the pad under her ear. It can help.

Damn the sinuses and ears. Sometimes I put Vick’s vaporub on a cotton ball and pop it in my ear. It can help. Do not let the cats near the vaporub. I believe I is toxic to them. I will press my tongue to the roof of my mouth near the front for 49 seconds and that can shift things.sometimes I also press and rub the forehead just above the eyebrows between the eyes. At the same time. Another way... grab your earlobes between your fingers,tug outwardswhile you open your mouth wide(like a yawn )and the jut forward your lower jaw. Repeat this manoeuvre for a minute. There are always pills. Please make sure they do not conflict with any drugs you are currently taking( pharmacists are your friend. I hope you feel better soon

Hope you get better etter soon! If not, I can always send you a short video of our cat licking the wood stove. We think it might be his way of encouraging the stove to light.

Your sister is a beautiful tortie as is the female cat here. Tell the writer to use a netipot, it works on allergies. Don’t use it on you, your nose is too small. ?

Dear Furred and Frond Management: Sincerely hope that the female human survives the allergy apocalypse! Feel better human! Also, looks to this humble human, like Princess is in need of an intense Temptations intervention! That's a LOT of stash for a little junkie...err I mean furred being! I guess anything to help get through the strange days time, though. Looking forward to the new book. Thanks!! You all take care and stay safe!
