A tabby is any domestic cat with a distinctive ’M’ shaped marking on its forehead. “Tabby” is not a breed of cat but a coat type seen in almost all genetic lines of domestic cats. Tabby originally referred to “striped silk taffeta” from the French word tabis. – WTF Fun Facts

I recently heard about this young adult novel in which Schrodinger’s cat and Pavlov’s dog team up for a cross county adventure…

So I headed on down to the library to see if they had a copy for my 10 year old daughter.

The librarian said that my description rang a bell but she wasn’t sure if it was there or not.

My coworker: im not gonna get the vaccine. How’d they make it so quickly?? Not a good sign

Me: it’s because we’ve known about coronaviruses for a while

My coworker: you literally said earlier that we couldnt have caught corona when we were kids because it didnt exist yet

Me: i said we couldnt have caught it when we were kids because it hadnt made the jump to humans yet, for one, and for two, there’s more than one coronavirus.

My coworker: what

Me: there’s more than one coronavirus. SARS and MERS have been studied for years, and vaccines for them have been studied for years. The COVID vaccine wasnt built from the ground up, we just already had a lot of the starting work done already.

Me: Like. Is anybody surprised when Toyota comes out with new cars every year? No. They don’t cry witchcraft and say shit like “oh they made that car too fast, it must not be safe,” because they didnt reinvent the car, they just added some new bells and whistles. Same with the vaccine. They didn’t reinvent the wheel here, they just looked at an existing wheel and altered it to make it work better.

My coworker: oh. *turns to other coworker* i cant believe you were afraid of the vaccine!! You just gotta do your research, man

Me: YOU DIDNT DO YOUR RESEARCH EITHER

A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.

therapist: so, how have you been coping with your anxiety lately?

Me, nervously: Well… I’ve been trying to treat myself like a nervous cat…

therapist, stifling a goodnatured laugh: Oh? can you explain that to me?

Me: Well… if you have a nervous cat, the first thing you do is make sure their environment is safe and remove stressors… and you make sure they have enough food and water and places to hide… and you provide some enrichment in case they need to work out energy…

Therapist: And how are you applying that to yourself?

Me: Um. If I feel anxious, I’ll see if I need to back out of any sites or conversations, enforce my boundaries… check my environment for flashing lights or painful noises… make sure I’m hydrated and have eaten… and work on a hobby

Therapist: those are all excellent things! You’re a nervous cat and you need care and kindness!
