Ann, that's a ferret.

We got good news and bad news last night.

The good news -- Hubs got a job offer that involves a promotion. It's still tentative, but he may be starting in 2-3 weeks.

The bad news is about Teddy. We got the results of his latest bloodwork last night. It doesn't look good. His calcium is down, but his creatine is up. This means his kidneys are getting worse, but calcification isn't the problem. The obvious candidate is now some form of cancer.

Unfortunately, he'd have to undergo biopsies before any serious cancer treatment. Which would require general anesthesia, which his kidneys likely wouldn't be able to stand.

According to the vet, his prognosis is guarded. Which is medical-ese for, keep him comfortable and don't make long-term plans for him. In the short term, we're moving the fluids from every 3rd day to every other day and increasing the appetite stimulant to twice a day.

I am a food and beverage whore, with minor exceptions for mushrooms and certain types of seafood. I pity you supertasters as I drink my coffee and consider where I might get cabbage for lunch.

What's the difference, really, between a supertaster and someone who is just a picky eater?

Poor Teddy. I'm sorry about the bad news.

Back at work today so Tuesday feels like a monday = crappy. But it's a shorter day which means slightly more happy than usual.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Jess!

I CANNOT WAIT TO BE ON VACATION.

PS: My boss continues to be an idiot.
