Quote of the day:
"Awareness itself is the primary currency of the human condition, and as such it deserves to be spent carefully." 
~ Andrew Olendzki, “Busy Signal”

This weekend is the second weekend for the beta Diablo IV; the first one was last weekend for those of us who pre-purchased it.  I haven't dived in yet.  Like books that I have collected and not read, I have several games that I have bought, and some that I have downloaded, because I want to explore them, but have not taken the time and energy to do so.  Quite frankly, I find that my attention bandwidth is limited these days as I deal with my health, my family, and work.  Already firmly committed to a second life both in SL and Sovaria, plus actively playing through Diablo III's Season 28, there just isn't a lot of leftover bandwidth for a new game, especially one with a pretty steep learning curve.  

After all, there are priorities....

day 65 - Panda

Today is the 2nd day of the 10th week, the 6th day of the 3rd month, the 65th day of 2023 Last year it was a Sunday, and it was miserable.  My poor little Panda had been very ill - problems with eating and eliminating had resulted in her losing over half her weight in just three months.   I kept taking her back and we kept trying different things - even putting her thru the RadioCat operation he previous month so that she could go off the y/d diet.   Nothing seemed to help, and Panda had gotten what the vet called a "kitty cocktail" shot on Friday afternoon, a Hail Mary  concoction of antibiotics [in case there is an intestinal infection], steroids [in case of inflammation], hydration, soothers, and an appetite stimulant.    She was okay on Saturday, enjoyed her sunbeam and even ate a bit - but that night the drugs wore off and we had a very bad night indeed as she was obviously in pain, and kept retreating to her hidey hole under the secretary....
