Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Spin away all you want, Puck; just donāt make yourself sick.
Off topic ā Paul: So, we went down to Toronto General yesterday for a fluoroscopy and a swallowing assessment for Paul. He has been given exercises to strengthen his tongue and his jaw muscles; these should improve his swallowing capability. It also appears that the source of his pain has been found: the fluoroscopy showed two badly decayed molars. Paul has a dental appointment at the end of April, but I need to see if this can be moved up so the teeth can be pulled as soon as possible. He is on a liquid diet for now, to be moved up to pureed foods and liquids next month, and then coarse purees for another month, and then we move on to solid foods. It will be such a relief if these teeth are the issue, and his pain is relieved so he can sleep properly.
Russelās 10 now. Every once in a while, heāll realize his tail is following him. Heāll rebuff, it dodges, which ticks him off. This goes back and forth for a minute or so, ending in the tail chasing him in a mad dash thru the house and up and down the small spiral stair I have. When he was four, the chase got so intense, he neglected to notice the hatch in the one bedroom was open ( my house is an old bungalow, with an upstairs added. Attic hatch was left in to move furniture) He tore up the stairs, made a couple laps in the first bedroom, shot out into the second and continued down thru the hatch at Warp 3 into the downstairs bathroom, JUST missing landing in the toilet. Didnāt break anything but his ego, and a nail, fortunately. Spent the rest of the day, quietly in my lap.
Today is Worship of Tools Day. As a lifelong devotee, I have long thought that homo sapiens should more properly be called homo artifex or homo fabricator . I almost have more tools than I can count, and have at times come upon a tool in my workroom that I had forgotten I possessed. My former sister in law once said that every time she saw me, I was fixing something. I have āre-engineeredā or repaired just about every appliance in the house. Having a high mechanical aptitude is sometimes a curse, especially these days when function so often follows form, which is completely back@55ward.
So appreciate what got us this far, and those who both know how to, and do use them. How many of you are, or know, a human āburger botā fixer (from "Batteries Not Included) ?

Iāll Tumble 4 Ya ā Culture Club
āŖ Downtown Iād drown ā«
My feelings are somewhat tender
My wrath, sponge bath
Who soaked my tailās splendor?
Iād be your baby, but Iām still sore
I ran the table for ham and so much more
Iāll tumble for ya, Iāll tumble for ya
Iāll tumble for ya, Iāll tumble for you
Iāll tumble for ya, Iāll tumble for ya ā«

As long as the spinning doesnāt take Puck towards the table where a bottle of syrup may still be, heāll be fine.

Theme from Rawhide
Keep rollinā, rollinā, rollin,
Though a sponge bath has been,
Keep on, happy tail spin, Happy Cat!
Through syrup, or whatever,
Hell bent for leather,
Wishinā that ham was in my bowl,
All my Humans, bless them,
Guess I should forgive them,
Maybe Iāll still make them pay, donāt know!
ā¦ā¦.
Rollinā right, rollinā left,
Movinā across the floor,
Rollinā right, rollinā left, Happy Cat!
Rollinā right, rollinā left,
Movinā across the floor,
Rollinā right, rollinā left, donāt want my humans to know that yet,
But Iām a Happy Cat!!
