Rainy season is back, with the usual afternoon torrential downpours to cool things down. Flood plain across from the sanctuary is full of water, but not as full of birds as it has been in the past. I reckon the saltwater killed a lot of what lived in the soil, whatever it was that the birds were after. But the soil must be recovering, because there was a handful of birds foraging together today, including a little blue. Hey you.

Not sure where to direct that since it feels like the worst situations have concluded. My poor bro's dear friend passed, somewhat suddenly, with unexpected amount of internal tumours. Ding dong the witch (or rather witches) are dead - A and C have both left the goddamn building, and we won't have to be dealing with their bullshit any more. I'm caring for Qua the best as I can with a terminal diagnosis. Maybe save it for a rainy day? I treasure my rainy days, though.

Running on Ensure and Red Bull was gonna catch up on me eventually. Some kind of stomach bug done knocked me on my ass this week. Wasn't sure if it turned into a flare up, but I managed to drag ass into urgent care on Friday. Got sent home with a science kit. Thanks to the miracle of roaring diarrhea I was able to return all three vials mere hours later. I'll be curious to find out the results. I hope they don't lose the samples like that one urgent care place did.

Qua's responding to the fluoxetine pretty well; he's chilling out on the floor in front of the fountain instead of hiding under the bed, even came up on the chair with me a few times. I may start up with the mirtazapine again if his appetite remains low. There hasn't been any high pitched meowing in over a week. His ear, whisker, and body posture indicate he's not uncomfortable. That's a huge relief.

Things at work are...interesting. It's kind of set in to the powers that be that they are now down to three employees, two managers and one keeper, and maybe they done fucking goofed by being such raging micromanaging assholes to all their people. The one keeper has caught on to their game by now, and is thinking about putting in her two weeks as well. That would be fucking hilarious if it's down to the two of them. You are the king of nothing, good job. I would offer to help out, but that's not going to buy me anything but more work, gratitude is a foreign concept to these people. They did it to themselves. Probably I shouldn't be enjoying this as much as I am, but this is all their own doing. Fuck 'em.

Reached out to S and got a very nice text back and an invitation to grab dinrar sometime. I definitely hope we can catch up some time soon. It sounds like she's busy as ever, but in good spirits. I genuinely wish her well. She's neurospicy like me, and has a lot going on sometime, but I never once doubted that her heart was in the right place.

Finished watching Succession with my bro, which has an infinitely unsatisfying ending. Started And or, which I am watching despite my aversion to all things Star Wars. It has all the marks of the usual Star Wars story, but there's at least enough characters of varying kinds that it seems to be going somewhere interesting, so I'm a bit curious to see where they take it. All the reviews are raaving about it, which is probably because it's not as mid as most Star Wars stuff. Knock knock, who's there? Hatey McHatington, fresh in from Haiti. I swear there's a lot of stuff I love, and I love it real hard, but goddamn do I hate pretty damn hard too. I'ma chalk it up to my inner owl.

Got a cat shield for Mizu that I need to make an appointment with the mechanic for, eye appointment for me in a couple weeks. Also a no kings rally on the 14th. Gotta have my goblin sign done by then.
