And then I got to see my girl out on a date with someone else, which was vaguely weird

Bah!

hmm, Taz is being weird. He was pouting that we fed him wet food and ignored it and ignored it and hassled us while we were trying to get back to sleep (I woke up and fed him close to his regular time and then went back to bed). We finally get out of bed and he is meowing plaintively for a while at Tom's feet in the kitchen and then comes out to the living room where I am and starts heaving and throws up... nothing, really. As if to show us the empty contents of his stomach.

This freaked us out some and then we added a bit of dry food to his wet and also put out some tuna but he's still not really eating and is meowing at us and stuff.

Is he just being a drama queen or what? He didn't eat much last night either. Though he does go through periods where he's just not much of an eater.

Thanks for the sympathy guys. Funeral is today. We're meeting up after.

We've had a very productive morning here, but the housework is still not done. I hate how that happens.

ION, Happy Birthday to Sox's Iris!

I just found out Clint Black did a cover of Monty Python's The Galaxy Song a couple of years ago.

Argh. My mother is driving me nuts. I've got to see a few different specialist doctors for various stuff. Whenever one of them does something she doesn't like, she tries to convince me that I should find a new doctor. (None of this has been any horrible stuff -- things like one of them isn't testing my cholesterol as often as she thinks he should -- he's testing it twice a year, and she thinks it should be tested four times a year.) If I listened to her, I'd probably never see any doctor more than twice. I think continuity of care is more important than seeing every doctor in the city until I find the perfect one.

(Also, I admitted to her that I forgot to get my cholesterol meds refilled, so there were about two weeks when I wasn't taking them until I finally remembered to go to the pharmacy, and she's now treating me as if I totally cannot take care of myself or follow doctors' instructions at all.)

Happy Birthday to Iris!

Happy Birthday, Iris!

Shir, I saw things were getting hairy in Gaza. I hope your sister's ok

Sis is currently home, and going back to the ugly and hairy tomorrow (no offense to Gaza Strip dwellers). She'll start an overlap for her new commanding role. New commanding role means less sleep and less home for her, but she's got it without going to special training for it - so, mucho respect there. Thanks for asking.

I missed a show I wanted to go to, terribly hungry, just got back from the parents and have almost 500 new posts in Natter, and other errands to take care of. So ~ma all around, but I gotta balance some shit before addressing specific ~mas.

Also, which one of you hid my portable CD player? 'Cause that's not nice.

I'd call the vet, cats not eating for over 24 hours can be bad they lose weight too fast.

I sympathies with you over yourmom,Hil. Hate to say it but most of us with chronic conditions have times when we neglect ourselves.

I'm sure there was more , but my retention rate is low -- spent yesterday tileing kitchen. Today will be spent washing, sealing ,possibly grouting floor.

and happy birthday Iris and a happy birthday one day late to ChiKat
