I guess it's good to get the weekend ER visit out of the way early ita.

I've located my flashlights, but I had one of those boxes of tapers from Ikea and I haven't been able to find it since I moved. Of course the trick is if/when the power goes out to be near a flashlight/candle and matches. Inevitably they're nowhere near and I'm in the one room without windows.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We got lucky. Our dog is loony, and likes pills. He used to get all excited when we got his pill bottle out and would beg. We tried disguising them in food, but he would eat the food, drop the pill, and then pick the pill back up so he could chew it. Crazy.

In other news, I need to go offline, because I caulked windows and ran speaker wire today, and my mousing tendons are sore. I am so slow. I hope I get better at it soon, or the drywallers will be ready before I am, and I have to leave shortly. I have one million things to do. But am I going to do them? No. I am going to have a hot bath and a lie-down. And maybe later a jalapeno burger.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I envy the liquid even less because it is nigh impossible to get the liquid into Devi.

Needleless syringes.

If I can get something in her without getting near her mouth with my body parts, that's a score.

Oh. Or, you know, not.

I am glad that Kittenish doesn't do that. Hates it, will hide really effectively, but once I pin her, she "lets" me force her mouth open with the tip and shoot the liquids back.

I found my emergency candle stash! 100 tapers and 500 tealights. Which are all almost gone now, actually. Time for another IKEA trip.

Stay safe, Sue. And maybe light a candle before the power goes out? So you know you have light.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So, you found it, what, two days ago? Three?

hee, yay, Panthers! Aw. Landry. Too bad the rest of your story makes me want to cry and punch things.

Believe it or not, I am charging up my old iPod that doesn't really work anymore, because it sits here in the desk in the basement, which will inevitably be where I am when the power goes out. I've used my iPod more than once as a light source.

Oh. Or, you know, not.

Yeah. I have the special syringe. I pin her with my legs and then begins the wrestling to hold her head still as she tries to climb me (her safety position is as high on me as she can get.)

Phblt!

Ten.

I've done that! Works really well.

Ouch.

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

Stay safe, Sue.

So am I the only for whom this week lasted 15 and a half months?
