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.

After 3 conferences back-to-back, I’ll be rotting on the couch with my dogs for the next 4 days.

It’s Coma Wake Up Day!!!!
I nearly died from post-surgical sepsis because people near me didn’t know the signs. I spent a week in a coma, but 8 years ago today, I woke up! Coma Wake Up Day is cooler than a birthday, but I don’t recommend you go through it yourself, so please know the signs.
