Ice available? Or is this something you are not supposed to ice? Cause if you know swelling is on the way, I think preventative icing may help.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

I'm eating blue jello. Does that seem right to you?

Fuck 'em all and the horse they rode in on, indeed.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
pulled a muscle in my back while getting dressed (or, technically, re-dressed as the clothes I'd originally donned were unsuitable for temps+windchill below 0). I decided that since I didn't have anything to get done at work today, that I'd stay home and baby it. Got some ice packs on it now and will deploy the heating pad later.
Sigh. On the bright side, though, no going out into extreme cold and I get to watch Top Chef earlier than tonight!

My weather widget tells me it is 18 degrees outside without windchill. I'm so glad I still have a warm coat I can close around my expanding abdomen.
ION, my husband had a shaving accident this a.m. and ended up shaving off his beard. My husband has a beard, so the bare-faced fellow walking around my house freaks me out a little lot.
I hope your back feels better soon, Nora!

Oh, Kristin, how scary. Hope we hear good news soon.
Hil, hang in there! Hope it's better this morning. Take it easy!
Nora! Ugh! You take it easy too!

Oh, that would totally freak me out too.
On pet food...I read WS's essay...I do agree about the thriftiness of using higher quality pet food in decreasing vet bills. I have had many conversations with my vet over this--especially since Toto is an extremely picky eater (only when it comes to dog food. He'll happily eat any people food!). With my vet's approval, I've kept him on the highest quality food I can buy in the grocery store. We actually went through the ingredients, and it's very similar to the prescription version of the same brand. So, I feel ok doing that. But, I did do research and all that.
And, when he gets overly picky and doesn't eat for several days, I throw baby food in it, rather than wet food (a trick my vet taught me).

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
vw, for me, it is all about reading the ingredients list, and putting back anything that makes me say WTF. And baby food can be a very good treat/sick day meal/appetite-inducer - though with cats at least, one has to watch out for onions and garlic, as ingesting those can cause Heinz body anemia.
And speaking of pet food, here is a Cheezburger YouTube video of a kitteh who is starving to death, never been fed, doesn't even know what food is, just knows he wants to try some [link]
