That's wonderful news, Seska! Easeful recovery~ma to The Girl's father, and blessings on his doctors for getting it all the hell out.

And ~ma to your friend and her toddler, sj. Even minor operations on kids are scary, the younger the scarier.

And...well, I want to wish you a smooth, easy move, omnis, but moving is pretty much always stressful and mildly crazed even at its very best. So, least-possible-stress~ma, and welcome back to California! (Sorry, Texas.)

Yay, Seska's FIL!

All sorts of job~mas.

Max went back to the vet for his follow-up. His congestion has improved slightly, but he's still a very sick kitty. (The vet suggested that cancer was a possibility, but she also said that the antibiotics wouldn't have helped ease cancer at all.) He also lost even more weight. So he's now on yet another antibiotic, as well as an appetite stimulant and prescription moist food (Luckily, he likes the prescription moist). And he has to visit the vet every day for nebulizer (steam) treatment.

Which means bigger battles to get him to take his meds. His jaw muscles are surprisingly stong for such a small sick cat.

I'm thinking of going into veterinary nursing after retirement. I feel like I'm already halfway there on the feline part of the curriculum.

Job-ma, Vortex! Can we share? I should hear early next week about the job I interviewed for Monday.

MINE MINE MINE! Okay, I'll share, but FEEL MY LOVE that I'm sharing knowing how much I want to leave :)

May-all-be-well ~ma for sj's friend and her baby, and Max, and everyone else who needs it.

Friday! This seems like it was a really long week, even though I only worked three days. Maybe because Monday and Tuesday were spent driving up to NJ, drinking, eating Thai food, and driving back again.

I'm feeling totally overwhelmed by tasks. When I look at it objectively, there are only two, relatively minor, things that I have to do, but they seem enormous. I hate that. I wish I could just do what needs to get done instead of making everything into a big difficult deal.

~ma to them as needs it!

Zen, I so feel you. I know I waste a lot of time and energy freaking out that would be much better applied to, you know, getting stuff done.

Just got back from being in the woods. Stripped all the way in the bathroom to change clothes, found two ticks crawling on me. Ugggh! Not scared of bugs, but squicked by ticks. Let's hope I found them all.

Sigh. I mostly like the project I work on, but SO MANY TIMES they keep thinking they're being smart, and not realizing they're SO not thinking ahead.

Like, there's this plan where we want to get stuff done quickly, but it involves people who come in for a visit, and then are given a diary to fill out for a week, and don't usually bring that in until their next visit, three months later. So they're like "For the people near when we want to end, we'll give them an envelope, so they can mail it back". Which is a fine idea. Except it didn't occur to them that they needed to start doing this two or three months ahead of time--not JUST for the people right at the end, but for the people who were coming in two months ahead of time, but wouldn't be back for their next visit until after the time they wanted to see these diaries! And now some of them have already happened. And this is so not the first time... Sigh.
