Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like the first one, but maybe the second one for you.

Enh. that's just borrowing.

I've been sitting in a terrible chair 8 hours a day for almost two years! I will be excited if this one works out -- although I'm already afraid it's not.

Also, I have gotten a few things done today, but not the Big Task I was supposed to be working on.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

The first one, msbelle.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

It's 76 here, supposed to hit 83. So, kinda warm for Seattle May, but a few days ago they were forecasting 90's for today and Saturday, so I'm glad it's not that bad.

I'll still be tempted to turn on our AC when I get home, and DH won't be there to talk me out of it since he's going to the M's game with a friend who had an extra 100-level ticket. I always say no AC until it hits 90, but the house gets so stuffy! Lots of west-facing windows! And I hate to sweat, especially when I'm just sitting around.

Definitely the first one.

I feel like I'm at the eye doctor!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

It's in the low 70s here and bright sunshine, so I've got both the bedroom window and the balcony door open for the air to blow through, which it's doing nicely.

I just got Amarna back from the vet, with both good and bad news. The bad news is that her kidney is still the same shape and (mostly) the same size it was last week. Good news is much more prevalent, though: temp has gone down five whole degrees (she was at 104.7 last Friday, now at 99.7, which is slightly below normal), the weight has come back up to where she was at her checkup last month (it was six ounces lower last week), and she doesn't have any abdominal tenderness anymore. Also, the calcification in her x-ray is not in her kidney like they thought it was last week, and in fact could just be a nipple showing up a little weird at the angle the x-ray was taken, or may be a little calcification in a fatty deposit, which is much less concerning than in an organ.

The doctor gave me two options for the kidney and calcification diagnosis. I can either take her into a specialist and have them do a test that follows dye injected into her system and follows it all the way through the urinary process (unknown cost at this point until I call them), or I can wait it out 4-6 weeks and take her back then for a second follow-up x-ray to see if it's gone back to normal size.

I'll call the specialist on Monday and see what the cost would be and then decide, I think.

Art Crawl!!!

Glad to hear that the news is mostly good.

I'm so bored.

i'm also tired - which doesn't help.

Less than 20 minutes 'til I can leave.
