A short while ago, out of curiosity I checked my visitor stats--not pageviews, but visits--it was just over 900 visitors so far today--"Whoa," I thought, "that's quite a lot, isn't it?"

But, apparently not. In the last 20 minutes, my stats went to 2000+ visitors. WHAT THE ____???

Anybody else seen their stats suddenly go flipping wild today? Very strange! It's not like I'm writing anything riveting or scandalous! Weird, weird.

It looks as if there may be a storm moving in--it's clouding up and the breeze is freshing, and there's that pre-storm feel to the air...that ominous electrical feeling anyone who's spent a lot of time outdoors (such as moi) knows quite well.

Flame is such a clever, clever little girl-cat. If she feels that I'm not paying enough attention to her while I'm keyboarding away, she starts getting all cute, waving her paw at me, or making chirrping noises...NOW she's figured out that if she plonks her arse directly in front of the monitor screen, I HAVE to notice her! She's a pain in the bottom some times, but I do love her...she's quite the character. And, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I was supposed to make up some hours at work today, but around quarter to noon, I almost passed out getting up from my chair so opted to sit a while....going to the health center in a bit to get checked out--might need a blood transfusion, or it might only be my wonky blood sugar again (I'm out of testing strips for my glucose monitor, so I don't know. so I'm sitting with my feet up, waiting it out to I feel well enough to grab a cab to go see the nurse.
