Cass, glad that Kittenish is feeling better and that you have such a great vet. She may have a UTI--the symptoms you describe are what Byron exhibited when he had one. I ended up getting a dry food for urinary tract health to prevent another one.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Pook Kittenish. Glad she seems a little better this morning. Glad Cass is getting a few extra zzzzzzs.

I've been in the really rainy parts of Hawaii.
That's some rain.
I expect Thailand's like that, only wetter.

Cass, your vet sounds lovely. Could you get her/him to give the people-doctors some lessons?
I've had a stressful time at work lately -- busy, busy, busy, with a side of pain-in-the-neck -- but not awful. However, the stress seems to be manifesting itself as little muscle spasms that go on for days. At the moment, there's a twitching in my right shoulder that's been going on/off for the last 24 hours or so -- I've also had them in my leg, chest, and foot. It doesn't hurt, but the fluttering is so very annoying (esp. when trying to get to sleep).
However, I did get a pumpkin last night, drew a face on it, glued some feathers on top and put it at the Reference Desk for whimsy.

Car is ready. They're sending someone to come pick me up now. I love my new mechanic.

Looks like I'm being identity thefted!
Got a call from someone claiming to be Nextel. "Are you Trudy Booth?" "Did you get a phone in pennsylvania and start making a bunch of international calls?" "Does your SSN end in __ __ __ __?"
So... either I've been thiefed or someone is trying to thief me. Greaaaaat.
So, now I get the list from the guy at work who know who all I call (credit bureaus, Nextel, whatever cops...). This is SUCH DAMN FUN!!!!

OK, baby safely in bed and away from keyboard.
Crap Trudy! Hopefully it will get sorted out with no pain on your end and a lot of pain on his/hers.
Cass, glad to hear Kittenish is doing better, poor thing.
And how awesome to have a good mechanic, sj
We received instructions from Washington today that we shouldn't use "little" as a modifier in reports. Instead, we should use "some." Apparently the braintrust thinks that "little" sounds "murky." Ex: "The Government of Greece plans to offer little some resistance to Turkey's inclusion in the EU."
Now, aside from that changing the whole meaning of the sentence, who has time to sit around and come up with these rules?
