{{Aims}} I am sure the doctor will see you as a loving and concerned parent.

Jessica, you remain in my thoughts with tons of healing vibes sent your way. Take your time and take care of yourself. Let your loved ones do for you. A bunch of loving thoughts sent to E as well.

Brenda, hope you can add a weekend to the trip!

Aims, please check in after the eval and let us know how well it went.

Jess, so much love to you.

{{{Aims}}} It will be fine. You're a good parent.

{{{{{Jessica}}}}} It's good to see your post. You have been in my thoughts constantly.

much love , Jessica

I gave the cat an appetite stimulant prescribed by the vet .

there was a no driving heavy equipment warning.

Cat is somewhat dizzy. but he ate a bunch fo his favorite snakes. Feeling slightly guilty and somewhat happy that it seems to work some. we shall see.

glad for the good jb news, so get the winter bitter.

doing the domestic upstream thing today. In order to imporve room A , I must mess up rooms B and C. And room A wiil still not be done. but if we actually keep inching forward on room A and B --- the two not quite usable rooms in the house, We might have a whole house that is usable. that way things like painting might happen. or redoing the bathroom. or kitchen or....

Your cat eats SNAKES?

I know what you meant, BTW, I just like that typo.

I just checked my work email.

I sit at a small help desk "desk" with cube walls. I'm at the end of the row, near the back door, so they have a trash can on the other side of my cube.

I often have to clean out under my desk things that are filtering under the wall or form people tossing things and missing the trash can.

I idly checked my work email. My supervisor decided that everyone needed to clean under their desks today or they would be taking deductions from their bonuses.

Not only that he sent a second email to me, copying it to the head of the help desk with a picture of what he found under my desk, which included two empty potato chip bags, a yogurt container, orange peel, and other food packages and wrappers. he fairly screamed that this was unsanitary and unsatisfactory and that from now on I will clean out under my desk every day.

I sent him back an email stating I will comply, and stating that I will do so, but requesting we get a full size broom instead of the two foot long kids play broom we have at the help desk.

I hope I will not be fired on Monday.

Hah, you think.

Apparently there was an infestation of garter snakes in my dad's neighborhood last summer. I know this because of all the partial snakes in full rigor mortis on his lawn all year.

And this is the cat I just gave my dad the go-ahead to foist onto me. (Okay, I adore her. She's a vicious little bitch. And my dad and sister have been trying to push her my way since xmas.)

Geez, Daniel, that's horrible. Does he think *you* put that stuff under there? Is he aware it's other people's trash?

oi, Dainiel.

best part about the snake typo -- it was a correction from a nonword.

Daniel, that really sucks. I hope it doesn't come to anything.
