Oh, and then my friend Miriam came out to the animal hospital. Then as we're leaving, we discover she can't get her car started. Her new Prius, which she's owned for about 6 hours. She was pretty sure she was doing something wrong. So I drove her back to her place so she could pick up the owner's manual. When we got back to the hospital she got it started without a problem - turns out she was pressing the 'Start' button wrong or something. It was somewhat amusing to me that problems with her brand new, high-mileage car resulted in me driving her around in my 35 year old gas hog....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have a bad case of Prius envy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tommy, I hope your cat enjoys the night out, and is much recovered very soon.
Allyson needs to come by and wave her galleys or her Warren Ellis quote or something.
I could do with some cheer, externally applied is just fine.

Dammit, I wanted a 15 hour coma and only got a 7 hour one. Ah well, I think I'm going to eschew morning exercise for morning napping and see how much catch-up sleep I can pack into today.
Sorry to hear about your cat Tommy. Hope all goes well with his treatment.
After a week of being very good about brown bagging it to work and cooking cheaply at home, I went out to Automatic Slim's last night. They put me way, way up on the 2nd floor balcony (like 15 feet above ground level, great view of the restaurant) and I had grilled lamb chops with blueberry-mint chutney and goat cheese mashed potatoes. The number of Memphis restaurants that can fix better lamb than I has increased to 4—so delicious! Also so filling that I couldn't order plantains like I'd intended.

I had a moment of insanity yesterday afternoon and ate a bite of vegan brownie, which was amazingly delicious. I hope I don't pay for it too badly -- while my chocolate problem is not as intense (or painful) as my Cow Problem, it does enough to make me stay away from the stuff.
Still, it was SO good.
Tommy, here's lots of kitty-ma -- I'm betting that the insulin will make Senor Sock a whole lot better much faster!
