Quiet

It's been very quiet around here the last few weeks. Perhaps too quiet. About all I have to report on the health front is that I have developed a radiation burn on my back where the protons went in. It's like a bad sunburn. Hopefully it will ease soon.

In other news, Proton the kitten is growing fast and is a source of great joy and, occasionally, anxiety (see picture). He is very good at snuggling but not so good at using the various scratching pads and posts scattered around the house—even when these are dosed with catnip. He seems to be immune to catnip, and the furniture is suffering as a result.
