* Whatever else one might say about Justin Amash, he clearly has spine and some care for the rule of law, which is incredibly rare amoung Republicans. I'm impressed, because what he's doing is hard and he really seems to be sticking to his guns under a large amount of pressure. I may not agree with him on a list of things, but I actually respect him given his performance in the town hall.

* Elder Kitty is ill, which explains her uncharacteristic behavior the last few of days. The imperial couple seem fine so far, though Livia is clearly stressed out because of LM's behavior. I'll be watching them for signs of change. I did both liters last night and not trouble there, though I'm keeping an eye out. LM is very old and has been having digestive issues the last year plus. Up until Monday night she's been the most active and mentally alert this half year than she's been since the last of her original cohort died several years previous. She's herself enough to be her usual grumpy self with the Imperial couple and defend her turf, and is still eating and drinking, so we're just keeping an eye on her in case she worsens.

* Note: I woke up in too much pain to roll over Tuesday. I was rather heavily medicated Tuesday evening and both days were news firehoses. I've done what I could, but I am super behind.
