I was trying to type the word “synapse” but THREE TIMES in a row I typed “Sydnapse”. Then I’d backspace and go to fix it, but again “Sydnapse”! I had to walk away from my desk to reboot

Is anyone in New Orleans interested in fostering or adopting the sweetest little black kitten? She’s about 9 weeks old and a big fan of cuddles!

I managed to trap some feral kittens last night! If anyone in New Orleans is interested in adopting or fostering, let me know! I’m guessing they’re in the 8-12 week range, more scared than spicy. I’m doing my best, but I have dogs.

Suitcase didn’t make the trip with me. I sure hope it shows up tomorrow, or I’ll be wearing pajama pants & a tshirt that says “Aqua Tofana Apothecary. Woman owned & operated.” to the #Neurotrauma conference!
