* Livia voluntarily sniffed Caregiver Millenial's fingers Suday. So I was like, do you want to feed her some treats? So Sunday, he fed her treats and she ate them right in front og him like she knew him. he mostly recovered from the changes, though she is still alarmed by some of the cleaning in her area. One day, she emerged after her standard two hour hide to find the desk book stack gone. She hated the desk book stack and it's removal is of material benefit to her, but it is a change. She she did this massive double take and went all wide eyed and then checked the two desks she's allowed on for changes, poor button. Most of the recent stuff doesn't effect her beyond routine stuff like poop stealing and sweeping which she's used to. mostly, she needed to adjust to the idea of the asylum being invaded three times a week. But she's almost back to normal between visits and after the initial obligatory hide, she generally comes out and does her normal activities.

* Tuesday afternoon, I go in to have my sinus infection interrogated by a back up Doctor. I am always wary of back up Doctors, because my medical file is huge and complicated and there are inevitably concerns such as "Does this Doctor know anything about CF carrier?" (or my other long list of stuff, but the cf carrier is pertinent here.) It usually saves everyone time and energy if I wait a couple weeks for my Doctor to be free, but I figure the infection is already documented and it's a matter of this infection being antibiotic resistant, so I'm willing to gamble.

When I get home from that we crate up poor Livia baby and I take her back down town for her bladder appointment.

I wanted to thank everyone one more time. I have no words for how big a help you've all been in this crisis. I've never had a vet emergency before where there was enough money to jut do what the cat needs done and not have to worry about if I'd have enough for what she needs. I can just buy her food or take her to an appointment without panicking over every penny. Having a sick cat is terrifying, but the support you all have given us is a constant help and comfort.

I did manage the errand list today despite everything. (Forage, pharmacy, library, post office.)

* It likely tells you something about my week that it took me until sunday morning to finish watching the Democratic debates. night Two round two was a bit less boring and annoying, I think because their were fewer mediocre white men bellowing nonsense no one particularly wanted to hear. I do agree with Joy reid that everyone goig after President Obama was terrible fucking idea for pretty obvious political reasons.

I consider Elizabeth Warren the winner of night one of round two, and Corey Booker winner of night two of round two.

I can NOT wait for the winnowing, because seriously, that will make the debates a lot less annoying.

"The focus on a single leader — on the construction of a cult of personality — would have incensed the men and women who sacrificed so much to create a new nation. As Capt. Joseph Bloomfield explained to a company of New Jersey troops preparing to fight in the Revolutionary War, the American states had “entered a new era of politics.” He warned the soldiers to be on guard against the rise of an “aspiring Demagogue, possessed of popular talents and shining qualities, a Julius Caesar, or an Oliver Cromwell” who “will lay violent hands on the government and sacrifice the liberties of his country.”

At a moment when exclusionary forms of national identity are on the rise, we should remember that the ordinary people who suffered so much during a long war believed that their sacrifice legitimated a system of government in which ordinary people like themselves had a meaningful voice. There would be no more doffing the cap to noblemen. No more claims to special privilege. In the independent republic all citizens would be equal under the law."

* Note to middle class White People: If your child is too small to see over the shopping cart handle bars, your child is too young to be pushing the cart alone during shopping rush hour (4-6PM) in the evening before a National Fucking holiday. Allowing your child to wander around ramming people absentmindedly with a full cart. The store is packed. Fucking control your children and maybe save teaching your kids to shop for times when the store is mostly empty. Also? Letting them wander away blocking aisles with their bodies while the daydream is an asshole maneuver. Look at what all the other parents are doing. See how they are keeping their kids close and monitoring them to make sure they aren't blocking traffic? Give that a try. It's called parenting and it's a great new trend. Jump on it.

* My Mom broke a rib for the first time when she was pregnant with my little sister. (It was a terrible pregnancy made worse by the same genetic disease that is half the reason I'm officially disabled. I've written about all this a bunch before, but suffice to say this is a thing that happens to people with this disease). All through my childhood, she'd periodically rebreak it coughing. At some point it simply stopped healing. She lived on almost forty years after that first time. It hurt; it slowed her down; it was exhausting. It was a serious issue. She also lived most of a decade with a rib that never healed.

This is to say, I've no idea how frightened to be. I'm terrified really. At the same time I've not despaired as RBG is a tough, determined women who's survived a ton of things and is in amazing health given her age. I don't have anyway to know if the shock and pain and the difficulty of healing such things at her age is out weighed by all those other factors. I'm not a Doctor. I am terrified, but I still have hope. They did send her home after all, so let us all hope and wish her a speedy recovery.

"Also not on the list, the sources say, are former classmates who have contradicted Kavanaugh’s account of his college alcohol consumption, instead describing him as a frequent, heavy drinker. The FBI is also not authorized to interview high school classmates who could shed light on what some people have called untruths in Kavanaugh’s Senate Judiciary Committee testimony about alleged sexual references in his high school yearbook.

The sources said nothing would preclude the FBI from asking Kavanaugh's high school friend Mark Judge, who is on the witness list, about Swetnick’s allegations, but the sources stressed that this is not a top priority."

* Please, please, please if you can manage it, contact your Senators to get them to fight the Kavanaugh nomination. This is geometrically more important if you have a centrist Democrat like Joe Manchin, Doug Jones, and Heidi Heitkamp (Donnelly and Tester are now no on Kavanaugh. If you are a constituent, consider thanking them for doing the right thing.); or Republicans like. You may want to contact Chuck Schumer and ask him to whip the Democrats so as to get them to stand in united opposition. If you have Tim Scott, Marco Rubio, Bob Corker, Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, or Lisa Murkowski, please keep calling to ask them to vote no. Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski remain the best bets, so please keep the pressure on them! Flake and Murkowski have joined the Democrats in demanding an FBI Background check, and the FBI now has a week to investigate the allegations, so there is still time to make your voice heard!

Protest in person if you can, but if you can’t, here are some other options:

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the representative of your choice.

* We had a power outage 11ish PM Sunday-1ish AM Monday. It hit a huge section of town, so they actually sorted it much quicker than they usually bother to, but it was very bad timing. I was at my desk, and i strongly suspect I was the first in my complex to light a candle. I went on the patio and watched other night owls light theirs nd come out on our balcony. We waved lights and exchanged greetings. I soon had lent Squirrel a candle and settled in for what work i could still do. It hit while I was just starting Monday's aesthetic programing, so I didn't have many articles awake. When i finished them, I had a bath while the water was hot, then carefully migrated the candles to my bedroom. I was a few pages in to the Swan of Avon when Squirrel came back from his reconnoiter to tell me the extent. About a page later the lights came back on. something has gone wrong with one of the fish filters, which I've decided is tomorrow's problem. The cats were deeply confused by the whole thing as the humans were not doing the usual things and had mysteriously made it full on night in the cat asylum for no reason they could figure, but weren't even a little distressed.

I didn't get nearly as much done as I'd hoped.
