Care: Not as urgent as it could have been

Insomnia or just  change in my sleep pattern? Up at 3 am, fired up the PC, read some news sites and looked for things to watch on YouTube. Bed around 4:30.

Let Heidi out around 7:30, she came into the bedroom then bathroom and did her mountain goat thing on the toilet. I had to rescue her before she fell in and I closed the lid. Spook was under the bed so I carried Heidi into the livingroom, but she bolted back to her room. At one point this evening Spook was in Heidi's room, six inches from her. In her face. She was under the piano, and didn't give in. I shooed Spook out.

Breakfast banana was joined by some sourdough baguette slices spread with triple cream brie. Finished the rest of the wedge. 

It wasn't too hot today, so I drove out to the clinic and did the urgent care thing. Despite being the only one in the waiting room it was a long wait. Nurse took vitals, not sure if I was seen by a doctor or NP. Someone with a slight Eastern European accent. He touched the finger in all the places, noting hurt. Making a fist hurt. Then to X-rays, tech took three. Back to doctor, he said there was no broken bone, X-rays maybe showed dislocation but he had to have them looked at by a specialist. He did not think it was bad enough to try to fix. Nurse gave me a brace which didn't fit. Doc said to exercise with a squeeze ball a few times a day.

Home, passenger rear tire is losing air again so made an appointment to have that looked at tomorrow.

Did a load of shirts.

Watched the Love Island 2-hour starter which I had missed. Lots of guys with great bodies and no personality. Lots of girls with botox lips and plastic boobs. One is Miss Congeniality, she will probably be passed between airhead men a lot. One new guy thinks he's God's Gift but not at 5'7", dude. There is a community makeup room with actual theater quality lighted mirrors. One of the better looking women has never seen one before and is amazed at how different her makeup looks. Duh. It's early, but none of the couples are clicking yet.

Storm chaser was camped out in sight of a major storm, but he stayed too far away and it fizzled.

Watched the Portland protests. The police need to back off. And throw away the shields and riot costumes.

Streamed. Three chatters.

Pizza reheated for dinner. Mint chip ice cream.

Garbage & recycleds wheeled to the curb

Plans for tomorrow:
Tire repair
90 Day
TMZ
PTI

Monday catchup (backdated)

Back to the usual breakfast.
11 am Discount Tires appointment, not a long wait this time, Home in less than an hour. They found another leak.

Lots of stuff on Tivo: 90 Day Fiancé had three spinoffs, I enjoy the talkback one, and am surprised to see Andrei and Liz together and enjoying each other's company. And it's fun to see how much their critiques echo their time on the show. I continue to like Ed, and it is clear Rose would have made his life Hell. She is so mean-spirited. Avery keeps looking better and better, Ash gets more insane and phony by the minute. He's an Arab from Mauritius, but he identifies as Australian. He is playing the US Visa game in typical well-off Arab fashion, by visa hopping between commonwealth countries until he can score an American citizen.

Delivered was a set of squeeze balls. They seem to be different hardness, I found one which was comfortable exercising my poor bent finger.

Fedex said they delivered the co2 cartridges, but they didn't.

In cat news Spook hid under the bed most of the day, eventually stalked Heidi into her room. I went in to watch and Spook all out attacked Heidi, rolled her around like a doll. Heidi fought back but she's too small. I shooed Spook out of there and kept the door closed.

BASFA zoom meeting ran long, but that's good. Lots of news and science and science news. A lot of Black Panther angst and emo.

Garbage trucks were way late - 4 pm I think. Brought the bins in around 10 pm

Late dinner of sheep cheese, bacon on the side, and sourdough slices.

Streamed late
Plans for Tuesday:
Sleep in
Check on Heidi
Call CVS, get the app/online pharmacy issue fixed.
