Oh no! My father just called, and they're both sick, and they aren't coming down as planned! Poor them, but now I have no plans for the long weekend.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jesse, could I interest you in a movie or Target at a time to be named later?
Morning, Easy Coasters! I had a night of horrible dreams and am now happy to be awake too early.
Jesse, i suggest you do one virtuous but avoidable thing, like organizing a closet, and then one frivolous thing, like going to an exhibit at at a smaller museum you don't usually go to. May I suggest this one: [link]
I used to work in that neighborhood and walk by that museum every day! I don't think I ever went in.

Indeed!
And I was going to go to PS1 with the parentals, so maybe I will anyway!
Health-ma to Senor Sock. My brother and his wife have two diabetic cats. Mostly it involves regular insulin shots. From what I gather, the first week or so you will get the "Why?!??!? Why are you STABBING me, you asshole?!??!??!" reaction, but they do get used to it eventually. They handle the shots better than another cat of theirs that they have to give hairball stuff too. That cat will try to avoid it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Good morning, Natterers! I slept 11 hours. Had vague sex dreams. Want to go back to sleep.
Health~ma to Senor Sock, tommy! Aw, seems like a lot of sick kitties lately.
I hope Senor Sock is doing well this morning, Tommy.
I had big plans for today, of getting lots of stuff done and then going to see Waitress. I think they may have all been replaced by going back to bed, as many times as possible.
Folks with diabetic cats might be interested in this thread on the Feline Diabetes Board. To summarize, many diabetic cats have their need for insulin lowered, or even stopped needing it at all, after their diet is changed to exclude dry cat food, and switched to a very low carbohydrate cat food. (Wellness is one.)
Of course not every cat reacts the same way, and sometimes diabetes is just genetically fated no matter what you do, but all cats benefit from a very-low-carb wet diet.
I've lost both human and cat dearly-beloveds to diabetes. I hate it. If you've got a diabetic cat - or any cat, really - seriously, take a look at this site.
