I'm all about easy dosing of pets (and people.) But having sustained scars and upchuck trying to pill cats..I'm a big proponent of injections and the like.

If ever I'm asked to pill a cat, I'm asking if there is an injectible form. SO EASY. The nasal stuff is closer to illicit, I think, even when it really isn't. Too much...snorting? I do get fussing over too-much RE:medication and I've got minor issues. My drugs of choice are a whole lot of advil, now that my beloved blue sudafed is off the market and I'm reluctant to try other stuff because most knocks me silly. Even when it feels like a spike had been put through my cheek. I KNOW I should see a Dr. I'm getting there. It's probably allergies. Or like my dad, a surgery-worthy crusty sinus egg of nasty shit. Which is gross. Back to the denial advil.

I almost met Ali. Almost!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm supposed to give my cat ear drops twice a day for the next ten days. He was NOT PSYCHED about the first attempt.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The attempt at giving my cat eye ointment/drops was such a huge failure that her low-level eye infection actually persisted for nearly three years before we finally got rid of it with the liquid antibiotic I had to give her for her teeth cleaning. It wasn't supposed to work on the eye problem, but since it did, I'm not complaining. Giving her the liquid medication from the eye dropper was much easier than trying to hold her head still and squirt drops into her eye.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita, did you get my email from this morning about the wet men site?

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Oh, wow. I have this sister that I haven't seen in almost 14 years (since she was 1) but we kept in contact until about 5 years ago. Her mother remarried, moved them and didn't leave a forwarding address or number. I had no idea how to contact her again until now. I just found her on MySpace. I left her a message and she wrote back and I'm just really excited right now.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Somebody tell me to stop procrastinating and go write...even though my manuscript will no doubt contain some error I'll cringe in humiliation over someday as karmic payback for being so harsh over that bumper sticker...

(Seriously, I do need to get with the writing program.)

I got a new Windows computer today (the first I've ever owned) and I also got a 22" flat display that I'm pretty much amazed at. And this is also supposed to do DVR-ish things, when I get it set up....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No. I have a new spam setup. It's possibly why I haven't gotten any email today. Interesting now that I think about it.

Melpomene, that's the sort of crazy stuff the internet was made for, isn't it?

You should maybe do something about that.

Unless you don't want to.

Now is probably not my most tech-adept moment. I see that there are 556 messages that have been caught by this overzealous filter.

I am resentful of the world right now.
