The latest on Teddy. His creatine and phosphorus are back down. High, but not extremely so. His red blood count is up a little, but it turns out that the vet had undercalculated the Epogen dosage, and he didn't get a regular dose until Sunday -- too late to have a big effect by Tuesday evening. Calcium levels are normal.
The big worry now is that his appetite and weight aren't increasing. The vet thinks it's one of two things -- either his anemia is affecting his energy and appetite, or he has a stomach problem like an ulcer.
So we're cutting the prednisone back from every other day to twice a week (part of weaning him off it) and increasing the Pepcid to every night. And since prednisone may increase dehydration, I for one hope that reducing the prednisone will reduce the need for fluids.
There are some noises that make it impossible for me to think, or even keep my brain in a rational place. The king daddy sound is a drill.
When i hear a drill, my body's fight or flight goes into overdrive, and I feel like how an angry hornet must feel. I must kill the source of the noise.
The construction people outside my window, drilling into my wall, must be destroyed.
Why did Rome and Deadwood not get any major noms? There was fantastic acting in those shows. Just cause they were cancelled? Lame! Don't even get me started on no BSG... Olmos and McDonnell totally deserve noms.

And what about the freaking Wire??!!
(although I know the Emmys and how they disappoint too well to have put much stock in them getting it right this year.)

Yikes. FWIW I get really tense when a diesel engine is idling outside. Persistent low rumbling bass drives me nuts.

Neither you or bon's evil sounds are mine. Mine is the leafblower.

You know, I love HIMYM, but there are other shows I would have given the nom over that. However, this is pretty much my response to all forms of award-type things. I'm never happy with them.
PS. Still thank you for birthday wishes!
Today's crazy Tour de France news (no stage spoilers):
A Reuters car carrying photographers CAUGHT FIRE before the riders arrived, and they had to make a one kilometer course diversion.
Mine is the leafblower.
My idiot neighbor has the world's loudest leafblower and it takes him about four hours to blow off his lawn. For many reasons, the fact that he is not dead is a tribute to my self control.
