My (new) company had layoffs today.

Thankfully, this time, I *didn't* get laid off. Though I must admit, my coworker was pretty surprised at how accurately I called the signs, after I was saying I didn't like the looks of this mysterious last minute all hands meeting without an agenda...

Can someone notify the universe that although I was laughing, it really wasn't a *funny* joke?

Some oral surgery~ma in my direction would be appreciated this morning.

For those of you who follow Bitches, you may recall about a month ago, my head exploding with super secret information. Well, it has come to the point where things are public now.

The first bit of news back then was my favorite of favorite bosses was leaving.

The second part was even more super secret. This morning I distributed a letter of resignation from my job of 11 years. This is because last night, I got confirmation that I am hired for a new job. It seems I am following my favorite of favorite bosses.

The sad part is, I am leaving some of the best friends I have ever had to move to Dallas, TX. Not that I loose these friends, it just makes it a LOT harder to hang out with them.

The next few weeks will be a crazy time as I pack up 11 years of life and move to a new city where I know nobody but my boss. Wish me luck!

Some good-news~ma would be greatly appreciated. Will explain when I know more.

My cousin was rushed to the hosptial with chest pains.

He's younger than me.

My dad just called to say that he died.

Health-ma for my mother on Thursday, if you please. She's having minor outpatient surgery, which is not a big deal per se, but at 93, even though she is hale and hearty, the tipping point is a little more precarious. Thanks.

I have a good friend who will be in Chicago July 26/27 and is looking for a babysitter for his son both nights (about 2 yrs old). If you know of anyone who might be willing, or have another idea, my profile addy is good.

I am requesting some healthy kitty-ma for Pico. He's food averse for the last three weeks, and at his last visit, all his tests were negative. He seemed to be slowly getting better, to the point where he was seeking out food on his own. But then he started backsliding on the weekend and is back to not eating and hiding. So it's back to the vet we go.

Here's to hoping that neither me nor kitty freak out during the vet visit.

My senior kitty -

anemic - which is not surprising because there are kidney problems -which we are going to xray/ultrasound for tomorrow

when we will also be discussing his diabetes.

While I have no idea where things are going to go ( a lot depends on his kidneys) I need some idea about dealing with a difficult cat and injections. As in two people to clip nails and the only medication I could get down him on my own- liquid

profile good

I'll be absent for the next few days as I make the summer migration to Otter Lake. Next post will be accompanied by cool breezes not provided by A/C. Try and hold down the chatter so I don't have thousands of posts to skip skim. Peace.
