* 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.

* What happened to me this week? I continue to struggle with the arm thing and have only just started to make headway. On top of that, I came down with a virus (non-covid). Fever, Piercing headache, nausea, sinus stuff, dizziness, mild wet cough. My breathing is within normal range and I definitely have a sense of smell. It's just one of the things I get multiple times a year. I needed a lot of sleep/lying down, but the fever was almost gone as of Friday afternoon, which is good because i need to be healthy enough to inoculate Monday.

Bonus? Stimulus came just in time for me to move money around so I could have it all sorted for Monday. Rupert's replacement is on order, thought it will take him a while to get here. Live posting/aggregate will stop by Monday 9AM Pacific for a day or two.

* Saturday, the fever was entirely gone, but the pain rendered my right arm nearly unusable and my left not great. I used the strongest medication I have which was just enough for me to feed myself and beasts, but the pain level remains stunning.

To my surprise, Aidan laptop is here, I started getting him up to speed. I'm going to finish winding down Rupert when things are less nightmarish physically.
