You need to proceed immediately to a place which has a friendly pettable cat. Or cats.

You can look at a cat and do the Slow Blink a few times to say “I’m not threatening you, nor threatened by you.” Which is the closest cats get to “let’s be friends.”
Sad kitty is sad. Hope they fully recover soon.
Article says the camp has been there for a century, and the water washed away the cabin while the girls were asleep… Sounds like climate change to me. Even though the building is surely newer, they’d know where the river had risen to in the past.
Great! If you haven’t already, shower and text her you’re clean and available, although of course you understand if she’s busy right now.

Always keep at least three days worth of drinking water in your home, a gallon per person per day. So many emergency situations, large or small, can make water unavailable or unsafe. Having filters is also helpful, but you need actual full bottles on hand. For less plastic, go with the big bottles, you can drink from cups. And OP could have washed pits and crotch at least using some of his drinking water, since it’s not citywide so he could buy more on the way home from coffee.
That one made me snort!
Honestly, it’s a huge unexpected step from “meet for coffee” to “come shower in my apartment.” Or depending how you worded it, you could sound like you’re just trying to bail on getting together. Just because you’re not lying it’s not necessarily believable, especially in a dating context. Maybe try again when you’re done dealing with this and clean again.
Well, Huntsville Alabama has Space Camp and has been integral to US space exploration. Or so I’ve heard, haven’t been there myself.
Once you’ve cooled it and applied polysporin, you should put a bandage to keep from smearing off all the polysporin onto your clothes and keep it clean. If you don’t have a bandage that clean long sleeve will do, but it might get a greasy mark you’ll need to treat later for laundry: try rubbing in a dab of Dawn before laundering it.
Bear in mind, it may randomly start hurting and feeling burny again later, because the nerve endings hate burns. Cold water will help again. Fridge temp is fine, helps numb it without causing ice damage.
We did also get a reminder from our Congressperson today that fireworks aren’t just illegal and dangerous to the user, they can cause devastating wildfires. Which we don’t need any more of. Agreed, but what about the dumpster fire over there where you work, Representative?

And coming soon, a population of hard-working farmhands and construction workers!
Cat hair is notorious for floating everywhere, so yes. That said, the heavy duty (extra-fluffy) dry Swiffer sweeper pads are really helpful if you have smooth floors. And a squeegee is effective to remove cat hair from fabric surfaces they sleep on like the sofa and plush mat. Knit clothes and staticky microfiber fabrics love cat hair, smooth woven cotton lets go of it more easily, if you’re picking out an outfit for an important meeting.
Honestly, as someone who’s spent a lot of time in emergency departments, it depends a lot on the hospital and the time of day. Sometimes they’re packed and sometimes they’re almost empty. (At those times it’s very important not to invite disaster by mentioning how quiet it is.) Having an Urgent Care in the same place for Triage to divert people into helps a lot as well.
Let’s stop calling them super. “The grotesquely wealthy” is more accurate.
Play a compilation of song covers at exactly 135 BPM so I can do my treadmill without losing my center or my step.
Work the laundry machines, and set a separate timer because the app notifications are unreliable.
Text to check that my kids are alive and assure them that I and their dad are also not dead today.
Order grocery delivery.

Yes. If I have to wait in the ER, I try to think of it as a sign that I’m going to be okay.
Extremely fast service, or people suddenly starting to be really really nice to you, means something very bad is going on.
Sleep deprivation can make people do stupid things. Also a baby can sometimes demand all your attention so you forget everything else.
It’s nice that this turned out to be a safe situation!
(And also that there wasn’t a bomb in those bags, just possibly a used diaper.)
