I've been a bit weepy of late. Any old thing will set me off: 'This American Life' podcasts, the kitties being adorable, Jonathan Coulton songs, the recycling not being picked up again, Pearls Before Swine strips, rain, falling leaves, mushy tomatoes, Un Lun Dun. It's most likely the time of year. Autumn, for all that I adore it, has always made me a wee bit melancholy. And then, too, this time last year Dad was in serious decline. Within a few weeks I'll probably be back to normal, but for now? I'm in a constant state of sniffle.

It probably wasn't the best idea to start re-watching Season Four of Doctor Who.

In happier, non-sniffly news, Handsome Tom's blood work came back clean.* And while he wasn't pleased with me for bundling him into a carrier and driving him away from his domain, he was happy enough to flirt with all the ladies at the vet's office. It cracks me up how they dote on him. He's got it, that boy.



*he had to be retested after his last visit to the vet.
