Tiny's water appears to have broken overnight (so it's convenient that she prefers to hunker in the bathtub), and thus it seems that kittens are imminent. I am obscurely pleased that my estimation for the delivery posted to FB on Monday was spot on; not that Tiny can read a calendar, but this is looking like the second consecutive litter to arrive on a Saturday - the grubs were a late-afternoon batch.
so, you know, it's about to be just about all kittens, all the time around my parts of the internet again. try to contain yourselves. ;-)
[a block over, where Mayday has taken up residence since getting fixed, there is a litter that matches the catgrubs i have retained - about the same size, one tabby, one black, so that was cool to see]
Unrelatedly, we had a department bowling outing yesterday, and it was enjoyable despite doing something unfortunate to my right hand - middle of the first game, something went POP at the base of my right middle finger as I was delivering the ball, followed by some mild discomfort. Woke up this morning to slight swelling and stiffness, so I'm applying NSAID/aspirin and a cold pack on and off to knock that down. No loss of range of motion, probable compromise in grip for the time being. GODDAMMIT, BODY.

Man, I hate that briar patch.
Really sorry to hear about your hand. That (exact) sort of thing is why I don't bowl anymore. When I did the same thing, it took me nearly two weeks to regain full use of my hand. GODDAMMIT BODIES.

the deep and abiding irony of the bowling injury is that i bowled a substantially better second game (i was a DISTANT second that time around; the person who knew what they were doing rolled 200 & 226), probably because i was paying closer attention and not just fucking around. i probably haven't rolled a 149 in twenty years (the first game was something like an 84, including the -/- on the frame where i got the injury and an intentional gutterball to score a bingo square, which earned me a subway gift certificate; i have no shame when free food is in the offing :-) )
