I've just been offered a job in Cork, in the south of Ireland, doing what I want to do. Yay! Everyone come visit Cork now!
Yet I shall be keeping a wee bit of -ma, just the same, as we need to find the Boy Next Door a job down there too.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Teddy's blood has been drawn. The vet is sending it out for full tests, but they did a few of the key tests in-house while we waited.
He isn't out of the woods yet, but things are looking much better. We're no longer talking in terms of days.
Creatinine is down from 6.5 to 4.4 in barely a week. Normal levels go up to 2.5, so his levels are still high, but that's a big improvement.
Red blood cell count improved from 15 to 17. This is an improvement but still in the anemic range. We have a big tube of Nutrical as a vitamin-and-iron supplement.
Proteins are at 8.3. I think that's up a little.
We won't have detailed results until Friday. But things look good, even though he lost a quarter pound since yesterday.
Thanks for the ~ma. I'll release some but hang onto enough to keep him improving.

Potential Transplant~ma would be appreciated. Mom got a call and she is #3 on the list for a pair of kidney's that just came available. If either/both of the first two either don't match or are not able to get to the center, then she is next.

Well, two other folks are getting a new kidney tonight/tomorrow.
This transplant thing is rough. I'm happy for them, but bummed for mom.

DCistas!
I have one or two extra tickets to the Buffy Singalong in DC ($12 each). They're for Friday night July 20th--which Holli and I just realized is the same night of all the Harry Potter madness, so fair warning. I figure I'll just read HP on Saturday.
Email me (yahoo, mearagirl) if you want to come along!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Spare ~ma to be sent to the heartland, please. Just got a call from a placement service for a potential job. Not much money and, as it's temp for now, probably minimal to no bennies, but...WORK! Some $$!
So, if youse guys please...

Somervillains,
I fly into Boston late Wednesday night. Not sure what my plans are yet--events in CT are complicated to say the least and I'm still trying to work them out--but I may be around Thursday. If you might be free for lunch or dinner, hop over to F2F and let me know so I can start to formulate a plan.
Sidenote: vwbug, insent.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Can I request some ~ma for a friend and her baby? She gave birth at 22 weeks of pregnancy to a little boy. The baby is doing well, but the mom sounds terrified.

on top of it, the witness to the accident was her younger sister(2). she is inconsolable
peace and best outcome please
