After a long morning of loading the POD, stuffing the car, cleaning, scrubbing, double-checking, all on very little sleep… we’re off! here we come.

loves these long road trips.

First night: Sacramento-ish.

The LilyMonster took her gabapentin this morning! The last day and half we just couldn’t get “Sure, I’d love a snack!” time synced up with “special gabapentin snack time” - we have buprinex, too, and it does the job, but we don’t have a ton of it, and we have LOTS of gabapentin for her.

But this morning, she chowed down her special snack straight out of the gate, then had a whole can of gooshy food, more snacks, and is happily snoozing. Yay!

@cafechatnoir I can’t dope either cat through food, so transdermal gel will be a real game changer!

It's been a lovely weekend up in Maryborough. Blue skies, mid 20s, not entirely but somewhat relaxing time with family. Lots of cuddles with little Charlie (the dog). Really, this ain't bad.

Good Morning Tiny Dancers.
Feeling out of step as I saw a post about an easy way to make a cat patio (FB showed me, I have no cats) and everyone was all "BUT BUGS GET IN" and I am ready to welcome our insect overlords.

@frogglin yeah, cats love the bugs. I don’t they get what a cat patio is all about!

Hi, Fediverse,

I have my weekend blog post ready. It's a fun one because I answered a question about juries and I wrote about the Zenger trial.

What? You've never heard of the Zenger trial?

It's here: https://terikanefield.com/juries-and-the-zenger-trial/

Just watched the 2020 BBC #Dracula series. It felt like the episodes were progressively worse, with the modern day setting for the finale I'll thought out - but, still worth a watch if you manage your expectations. The cast is astounding

@HipPriest I've never read either. Stoker is in love with his description, which is not something I like much :(
