Feeling a little better this morning, even though I'm certainly not looking prettier :). I think I can make it...especially if there's the possibility of taking it off tomorrow morning. That I can do.
I'm glad you slept well and that there is the possibility of removal tomorrow. It's definitely a jammie day.
I went to bed at a mostly reasonable time but then woke up nearly two hours ago. And my book isn't as good as I had hoped so I am on the internets now. But I am thinking of one last ditch effort to get some more sleep.
ION, Emily's getting a lot of calls lately that come up as "Private Caller," and they ask for "Mrs. [LastName]." When I say she's not here, then they ask for "Mr. [LastName]." I keep saying, "She's not married," but they're not getting the hint. Retards.
And IOON, Emily yelled at me in her teacher voice last name for using the word "retard." It was HYSTERICAL.
Weird to be wishing you episodes, vw, but I do. Because they can lead to answers.
Oh, dear! The free crochet pattern of the day is really special: [link]
Hec, I hope you get a far better job soon. Maybe for a company that will buy out your former one, and you can be the one to arrange the severance and such for your former bosses.
vw, I hope that you can get your monitoring over with quickly.
Kitty moving. When my family moved from Michigan to North Carolina, we brought our then 13 year old cat with us. We drugged him into some sembalance of quietude, but he still reached through his carrier's bars to prune the living hell out of the Christmas cacti. The cat lived another three years, and we still have the cacti.
When my sister moved her outdoor cat, the advice she was given was to keep it inside for a while before letting it run loose. Of course, by that time the cat was bat-shit crazy, and I'd warn you to expect a few disappearances, but it worked out okay.
So, the more I frequent Thailand-related forums, the more I am made aware that 'Thais don't like fat chicks'.
Good. Good.
Not that I'm presuming that the charming expats who hang out on these forums speak for the people of Thailand, per se, but I am getting the impression that I'm going to be a total circus freak in Thailand - and not in a fun way. Bras only available in A or B cups. Clothes only available in US size 8-10. Crap crap crap.
Remind me again why this is a good idea?
There is some discussion that cats navigate by sensing the electro-magnetic fields of the earth. Keeping the cat inside for a few days to a week is, with this thinking, to give him or her the time to suss out the electromagnetic profile of the new territory.
Feliway, a product that uses pheromones to calm the cat in new surroundings, may be useful during the confinement. Also, Recue Remedy may come in handy both during transit and subsequent confinement.
