I realized I forgot the pads. All I've got in the house are

The ones I got as bandages for my leg a couple of years ago?

I can totally pick up some for you. I will stop at Wal-Mart on my way home...

ETA: Um, perhaps this would be better if I call you before I leave here as well...

Oh, Sean. You have had way too much crap. I hope the kitty is fine and S is feeling better.

Well, the vet didn't seem too concerned, but she wanted to run a full gamut of tests to be sure of what the problem was.

We're just...

Kitty is a little codependant, and I think we've maybe become a little codependant on kitty. So not having him here is making us sad.

Kitty wasn't particularly happy with being shut up in his cat carrier, dragged to a strange place, and then left in the care of strangers. I hope he's not too unhappy with us when he comes home.

So, my dad was supposed to be arriving here about now. Only I just found out his flight was canceled. And he hasn't called. My brother canceled my parents' cell phones (long story) and fedex'd them new ones only they just arrived today. So my dad is somewhere between here and New Mexico and he hasn't called. I doubt he actually knows my number. He may have called my mom but she isn't home tonight and again, my brother canceled her cell. Good grief!

Best to the kitty, Sean. Sorry your place is feeling empty.

I always try to schedule returns so that I can pick up the Kittenish from the cattery on my way home. I hate this place without her.

I can totally pick up some for you.

Woe. Have given up the ubernifty race tickets in favor of merely really, really good tickets so my uncle can come too. Also reserved another hotel room cause dad won't share. Weird when I sent them the confirmation because my uncle has my old AOL email address. Yay races!

Nice tree, Hil. Looks well planted.

Hee. Thanks. I think this was the first time I've ever seen pistacio trees.

Those pics are adorable, Daisy.

There was no vegging, but there was friendly visits to B and one from Kristin. I am making turkey chili for dinner and I cleaned the bathroom. Well, mostly.

DCJ and Sean are AWESOMEST boyfriends.

So sayeth The Empress.

Yay awesome people. Boo cancelled cellphones.

It's frightening how quickly we've become accustomed to EVERYONE having a cellphone, and how useless we become if it's broken or out of battery or accidentally left at home or whatever. Yeesh.

So *that's* a curly haired moppet!

Yes. Yes, he is. Looking at that little boy just makes me crazy happy.

No avalanches!

Sean, I'm sorry you are missing your cat. I'm not sorry you did take him to the vet, though. Best wishes on the vet bills, and much quick recovery~ma to him.

Aimee, you have had a highly productive day. May your sleep tonight come swiftly and sweetly, nourishing your soul as well and healing your mind.

DCJ and Sean are AWESOMEST boyfriends.

High praise from a woman who knows quality men and has a supremely loving husband. Totally bodes well for S and me, no?
