Lately I've been doing a lot of histamine flushing and such - the cooler weather and the reduction in my level of incoming new stress add up to let my body catch up on its backlog of removing things that I don't want to be carrying around. Very welcome, and not all that bad to go through. But sometimes it leads to weird experiences.

A few weeks ago I moved my computer desk into the bedroom for the summer. It gives me a north-facing vista, and makes a huge difference in temperature - ten degrees F or more cooler than the south-facing living room and dining room. It also lets me take advantage of the screened window here; the ones facing south are (with one exception) not screened, so I can't have them open more than a crack or Montano would get out. Here I can slide it open wide, and we both like more fresh air. When I work at the desk, he divides his time between the window sill, where he can look down on me, and the bed, where he can stretch out and be near but on his terms.

This morning I was fooling around with World of Warcraft a bit, and leaned back to stretch. I felt a really strange sensation in my right arm. I couldn't make sense of the feeling at all. Worried, I leaned forward and it stopped. I stretched again, and the sensation returned. Forward, stop. A third time, and this time I turned my chair partway around, to find myself staring right at Montano. Instead of lying down as usual, he was sitting upright  in that pert all-four-paws-together stance, and leaning forward to give my arm a lick and a nip.

Customized therapy, I guess.
