I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Heard back from the vet. As expected, increasing his dose, but slowly. MK's BG's were in the 500 (ack!) They'll recheck him in a couple weeks when I take him in to board for TG (!!!! so soon!) and adjust accordingly when he's there.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm glad you knew the symptoms and brought him in. What's normal BG for a cat?

The guy who taught me how to drive a car just friended me on Facebook.

Hee. Now if the person who taught me to drive friended me...I'd pass out. It was my mom. (Though technically, my cousin was the first to let me drive. In her now ex-MIL's station wagon...)

Heh. Was just thinking the same thing, s/mom/dad.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Basically by playing a really really horrible person, but with brio

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh, Mr. Kitty!

I am watching Frings for the first time, and although I have no idea what is happened, Josh Jackson continues to make me want to lick my TV screen.

My mom taught me to drive enough to get my liscense, but the person who really taught me to drive (who is my Facebook friend) was actually too young to drive when I had my license, but I used to let him drive all the time because I was scared. And then he taught me. And also to drive stick. Since that was almost 20 years ago, I have no idea if I could still drive stick.

Well, I knew we'd have to increase it, because the lowering was due to him not eating much. Now that he's eating again, it must go up. But the peeing is a pretty damned clear sign now was the time. Lakes, freaking lakes.

Normal for an insulin dependent cat is in the 100-200 range. 300 still being the top end of OK.

I really should have gotten a glucometer back in the day and done it myself. But when he's normal and not having health crises, he's been really well regulated so it kinda isn't necessary.

I discovered today that my officemate had never heard of 21 Jump Street. Then I realized that he was three when it started.

Ouch. I am old.

Mike taught me to drive because I didn't get my license until I was in college. He was on the cheerleading squad with me and he also drove the university shuttle from campus to the metro and back. He was the one who took me to my license test and let me use his car.

He was also the first person to take me rock climbing. He's good people.

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

Today zoomed past stupid into idiotville by 9:00 this morning, and it just never got any better.

I think I'm going to eat pumpkin bisque for dinner and then go to bed.
