Poor kitties. I just talked to a friend whose cat has kidney failure, too. So hard to know what to do when they can't tell you.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Aw crap ita, I'm so sorry.
I'm going away for the 4th this year, just to Catalina to hang with the cousins for a couple days.

I think I hate the new Password -- it's all Millionaire-d up. The old-style one was more breezy and less speed-oriented until the bonus round. Ah well.

Crap, ita. You need one of the knitters to knit you a protective hood.
I feel for all you other geriatric cat owners. Mister Kitty is 15 or 16 now, with what? 5 years on with diabetes. I can recall when he could jump from the counters to the top of the cabinets, almost 5 feet, without trouble. These days, he sometimes misses jumping onto the bed or futon. All of 20 inches. And his back end is wobblier when tussling. But he's hanging in there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Still in the waiting room, feeling like an idiot. I was just here last week, after all.
I'm sure they'd bump me ahead if I were crying. I'm just tired of crying, even though I want to.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm so sorry you're back in the ER, ita. I really wish someone could figure this out for you.
I'd try, but I'm not a doctor and anyway, my brain melted several hours ago. I'm at DH's computer because D is sleeping in our bedroom again (only one with an a/c), and DH is out at a screening. At least I'm near two wide open windows. Still too hot.

hip deep in pie
So the big news in Canada? The Hockey Night in Canada theme song has been bought out from under the feet of the CBC by their competitors, CTV, when negotiations with the rights holders for the song broke down. (I always think of Sports Night when I think of the rights holders for HNIC: "Someone holds the copyright to Happy Birthday?" How can you hold the copyright to that?) It's like NBC putting the ticking at the beginning of 60 Minutes on Dateline. Or David Letterman stealing the Tonight Show theme from Jay Leno.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
What?!? Shocking.
Also shocking: I'm editing a document and there was a typo in the word maintenance, so I right-click to fix it. Suggested fix: maintenances. Really?

ugh ita, the waiting has got to suck.
So dinner was just brown rice and chicken thighs that had be seasoned with salt and paprika. How can something so simple be so damn good? Maybe I was just hungry for it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I've been so out of it with the travelling -- hadn't heard about the Hockey Night song "theft" but I can understand how that would be annoying and disorienting. Hope that public opinion will make them reconsider the wisdom of taking it away from the rightful place.
