I have wondered about her also. I found her last post on that stay afloat thread (that is now closed so it won't accidentally go away if it's too long) and posted her remarks from there in your stay out of trouble thread. Her last Mudcat post as a logged in member was Oct. 24, 2024.

Offered a few things via my FB donate group, after clearing some varieties of black tea that I don't drink now. I still have plenty of them for visiting family to choose from, this is the overage. Makes more room on the tea cart. I also offered up some dried large garlic flowers that are spectacular and have woody stems. Someone could spray paint them gold or in a day-glo color and make some eerie arrangements if they want, or leave them as is and they look interesting.

Another cat sitting gig, fraught with cats who are refusing to eat. (Theory - one caught a bug at the vet and brought it home to the others.) The most sickly of the lot has gone to board at the vet, the other two we'll just see. They're not on the brink of starvation so a couple of days of modest portions won't hurt them.

My new mouse has an annoying habit of skipping between tabs if I push the select button somewhat to the side accidentally. It also reduces the print size. I haven't figured out how to stop it from doing that. One more little glitch to keep in mind while I'm getting to the point where I must upgrade to Win11; that will be a lost weekend with reinstalling all of this stuff. Yuck. Not this weekend, though.

This week has been a miasma of political churn and I'm already not enjoying the effects of the low dose of prednisone I have to take; I don't want to have to increase it if the stress brings back the PMR. I'll unsubscribe from a whole bunch more email places and will try to limit what jumps up at me from the screen.
