Oh, heh. The Atlanta Humane Society (Lucy's alma mater) is using discarded Michael Vick jerseys to line the puppy cages.

Oh, my god, why is it morning?

t glares resentfully at the Orb and all of humanity

I only WISH I had an orb and some root!

Supposably the sun will come out sometime in the next few days.

Oh my God- I think I am going to burn in hell. I about to maim my annoying cow-orker who is working aloud again. Seriously, we don't have cubes, we have offices, and I can hear every god damn thing she is saying! Because she reads her emails aloud! Stop it!

Sophia, you're reminding me of the Scrubs episode where J.D. wanted to break up with his girlfriend because she never laughed. She only said, "Oh, my god, that's so funny. That's SO funny."

More Teddy news. He's seeing a holistic vet for acupuncture in addition to the regular and more traditional vets. In the good news, he loves the acupuncture.

We took him last night for acupuncture and the usual sub-Q fluids. He spent the entire time in my lap. That's literally the first time he has ever voluntarily stayed in a lap in his almost 14 years. At the very end, he even decided he wanted to explore a little before getting back into the carrier. And after we got home, he decided to explore the house instead of staying in one of his favorite corners.

We aren't sure whether or how much he ate, but I doubt he'd have so much energy if he weren't eating.

On the other hand, he's fighting harder than ever against his meds. And this morning, we had to look all over the house before we found him curled up in the coat closet. (And yes, the pills took forever.)

I think that would annoy me, too, Dana! But, she there is a breakroom and another office between mine and hers, I don't need to be intimately involved in her every move. Actually, I should be happy that I am not the person working across from her, because anooying cow-orker is actually reading her emails aloud TOO the person across from her. Person across from her pretty much just ignores it, but I could not! I actually hate getting this annoyed, and normally try very hard not to, so I have now put on headphones. That can be problematic, because my boss sometimes yells for me, and need to be able to hear her (I know, that is pretty annoying, too)

ETA- Poor Teddy and {{{Fred}}}!

Hey--no one has an idea of a suitable size of bat mitvah money gift? Or are there too many unknowns in the question?`

amych said multiples of 18, depending on local currency: amych "Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns" Aug 21, 2007 5:56:52 pm PDT

Too many layers of annoyance!

Someone above mentioned that it should be in multiples of 18, because it represents chai. I think that $36 checks are quite common.
