Shuri attacked me tonight, but it wasn’t her fault.

We were in the kitchen and I was swinging her light-up squeaky mouse teaser and she was laying down grabbing and chewing it, when I spotted a huge (to me) spider about the size of a quarter and not a house spider crawling across the floor. I immediately went into kill-it-before-it-escapes-and-jumps-on-me- when-I-least-expect-it mode. I picked up a cardboard tray Purrsimmon sometimes sits in to squish it and failed the first time, and then all of a sudden felt claws ripping my calf and shin. Shuri had wrapped around my right lower leg and was clawing the helll out of it.

To the Professor!



We are on the edge of the bombogenesis storm and may get 2 inches or a coating of ice all frothed up with high winds for the morning commute.

Just to get all that slipping and falling stuff out of the way, as I was walking around my car when I got home, I tripped over a branch and ran a few steps trying to outrun the fall, but to no avail and landed on the outside of my left hand, wrist and arm, knee (the bad one) and calf, but I think I might have fallen on my face if I didn't run those few steps, so that was better than loosing all these teeth I've paid so much for, right? And it was on dirt, rather than the asphalt drive, so that's good. I've been on and off dizzy this afternoon, probably due to the fast dropping barometric pressure, and I'm sure that contributed to my loss of balance. I'm all bruised and rotted feeling. I'm hoping the feds will call for unscheduled telework tomorrow to lessen the amount of people on the roads, because I'd like to stay on my couch between my cats all day tomorrow.

And Happy New Year, flisties! I have higher hopes for 2018 than I had for 2017, which isn't saying much, but let's hope 2018 comes through for us all. <3

The intersection where I got hit by a car is listed on the map in this article on pedestrian hits in DC in the WaPo today. One of the smaller dots, but there. 2nd and G Streets NW. Not quite the way I'd want to be in the newspaper, but at least it's not a counting among obituaries, so there's that. It's dangerous stepping out your front door, Frodo.

Hi! I took off work today due to feeling run down. My knee and the whole leg and foot have been hurty lately, so the accident is still reminding me it happened. Lots has been going on here, good and bad, and I keep wishing I'd post more here. I will keep trying.
