Stoned
Wednesdays are the day for breakfast and writing at Crepeville with some buddies. I was packing up my things at noon when the foster coordinator called and asked if I could possibly bring the Snack Pack to the shelter for surgery by 1pm. There was a mixup in the mobile surgery bus appointments, and they suddenly had an extra 20 slots to fill.
So I hoofed it back to the parking garage, drove home, grabbed all five kittens, and drove to the shelter with ten minutes to spare. No problem.
They don't actually have room for the kittens to stay in the adoption center (and these guys still have diarrhea), so I picked them up again four hours later and they are back in my office.
They were kinda stoned when I brought them home. It's now 7:30pm and you would never know four of the kittens had major abdominal surgery today. Theoretically, I should be trying to keep them from running, jumping, and climbing, but I'd like someone to explain to me how to get kittens to slow down. It's just not possible.
So Professional
In between ferrying kittens, I found out I had to send an author headshot somewhere. I don't really have an author headshot, so I spent a while trying to make that happen. I am not a person who ever takes pictures of myself. It would never occur to me to go to a photography studio. The idea of doing so makes me want to flee the country. I compromised by taking some selfies outside. They will have to do.
At least our two-weeks-so-far ongoing overcast skies were good for something today.
Obligatory Kitten Picture
As you can see, Frito and Cheese Puff are wrestling resting quietly.

Leo was the same way when we brought him back from the vet. He is our "woods" kitten. Some asshole just dumped him in the woods like he could forage for himself the rest of his life! We took walks there and found him one day. He's been forever grateful. But surgery or not, he fully believed in exercising strenuously, hopping on couches, falling off, rolling over...you'd never know he had surgery. You are an angel of cats. And cats are dragons. You have quite the hoard...we want to see author pictures!
