Fred Pete, are you still looking for a second-opinion vet? The friends I was hanging out with in Va on Saturday have a vet they like who makes house calls.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I like the idea of Jilli as a boss - much more politeness, MUCH better dressed, and lots of sparkles and pink.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Thanks for the thought, Sparky, but I think we're beyond that after the hospitalization last week. I'm taking several days off while Hubs is out of town on business, and on today's list (along with taking Max and Marie to the groomers and Teddy to the vet for fluids) is to do advance scouting at the local pet cemetery.
Still hoping for that miracle, but even if it does happen, we've realized that we won't have Teddy forever.

Exactly my thoughts!
Fred Pete, I'm so sorry about Teddy. He is so very loved by you and Hubs.

It is still hot in my office. I may have to go find something to do that doesn't require being in here.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I need to find my motivation. I skipped a therapist appointment and now I need to pack for my sister's wedding so I can get on the road.
Christopher has the kids out somewhere (I was asleep when they left), so I have no excuses for being lazy and procrastinating.

Because you're home alone and you can breathe? That's usually my excuse when Stephen ferries the kids off somewhere.
I love your tattoo, by the way. Yay ink!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know the difference between Portland and Seattle. I blame the drugs. And I totally need to get up north.

Rick sounds like he has an awesome job!!
Well, Hil was looking for some academic cheerleading. If she had said "Someone tell me why I took this job in industry instead of finishing my degree and taking an academic job?" the answer would have been different (whitefonted for Hil):
Because you want a salary consistent with your skills, because a real job requires (slightly) fewer committee meetings filled with pompous fools, because you want to work less than 60 hours a week, because you want to leave at 5:00 on Friday and have a real weekend, because you know that you will reach an age when one more ignorant yet self-entitled 18-year-old will push you over the edge, because you want to choose the city where you live, or because struggling to publish your ideas just so they can be criticized by people around the world sounds like it could be more stressful than it is fun.
