I got to meet one of the other cats in the neighborhood this morning. He's a giant grey tabby, and very friendly. He's wearing a flea collar, so someone's obviously at least partially caring for him. He was up on the porch enjoying the outdoor food bowl, and dealt well with being petted and talked to. Other than that, almost nothing to report, since I've been flaring pretty badly this past week, and spending almost all my time sleeping. I have gotten a bit done on building the comic box shelves, though. They're coming together well, even if I'm only doing work in 20 minute bursts before I'm worn out again. We're about to head into what is traditionally one of our busiest seasons at work; open enrollment. They're changed the system around again this year, after we finally got most of the employees sorted on using the old one, so it will likely be pretty hectic at work for the next month.
