Oh, let's see...

1.  Steve got jealous of all of Socks' Lightning Visits to the vet, so there was nothing for it but that he should have a Lightning Visit to the doctor today.  Where it was discovered that he has arrived home from Boskone with acute bronchitis.  Medications have been prescribed.  Rest has been prescribed.  Below, a picture of Steve resting, at Socks' insistence.

2. I have an appointment with the vampires tomorrow morning.  After which I suspect I will be stopping at the grocery store because...

3. Winter storm warning for Waterville and environs, starting Wednesday. Weatherbeans at the moment calling for another 8-12 inches.  Man, I'm going to have upper arms to die for.

5.  I provide a link to an article interesting not so much for the description of a kerfuffle in an online forum, but for the discussion of "nice," and how the concept of same is used as a bullying tactic, a topic of some interest to me.  Since, as advertised elsewhere and often, I am so not nice...

Steve, Socks, and the Link

Yes, Socks is very strict like Nurse Diesel from the Mel Brooks movie High Anxiety! Get well Steve.

As for the long blog post I couldn't believe my eyes the ladies told to shut up and be nice, the male jerk can say anything he wants. That is annoying beyond words. Funnily enough I was raised in a matriarchal household where the men and me had to shut up or they'd get it quick from my terrifying Mom. I had to shut up not because I was female but because me aulde Mum would kill be otherwise. As I am now kind of grown up I am known for speaking out. A lot of people don't like that but hey....the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
