It’s a tired day here in the CatBox.  I did not sleep well last night.  I texted with Nameless at suppertime and early this morning.  He is feeling much better and is off the BIPAP machine.  He hopes to be released on Sunday, and their current best guess is that he has atypical pneumonia.  Please keep him in your thoughts, best wishes and prayers.  Tomorrow please expect no more than a brief Personal Update from me.  It’s a WWWendy day, and we have a notary service coming to finalize my will.  TGIF!!<\/font><\/p>\n
