Too many fire stories. Yikes! Glad folks are ok.
Aims & Smonster ((((( )))))
Hil, that is fab.
IOmeN- past out in fluffy. Seems I'm a couple miles from Signal Hill and get a bunch of over air signals pretty good with basic old rabbit ears. Right now waiting for fridge delivery. So far, 90 min late. But hey, it's free! This after noon I get the gas on, and hot water!!
I'm really craving a burger, the only place that I don't have to drive to is McDonalds.

And congratulations, Hil! Very exciting news.
Wow, rough Monday. Many hugs to Ginger, Aims, smonster, and Zen, but congrats to Hil for becoming a finalist on the post-doc.
I am having a similarly crappy Monday but am trying to think positive.
{{{smonster}}} That happens to me a LOT and has had me in trouble at work a lot. I sleep badly because of pain, but try explaining that to a boss. I hope your work is understanding and that you can find a solution.
Pix, Aims, Zen and anyone else who needs it, wishing you a much improved Monday from here on in.
Seska, thought you'd like to know: when translating Hung Parliament into Hebrew, the translation to "hung" is also "maybe". So I keep reading "The Maybe Parliament".
Pix, how was your commute this morning?
Gronk. Just slept for over 12 hours, after also sleeping for about that long last night, and still feel like I could easily sleep some more.
Spoke with vet again. The ultrasound looked good overall; there were some things she might have been worried about in an older or smaller cat, but she thinks the slight anomalies she saw were within normal variation for a young, big cat. His pancreas looked good, so while it can't entirely rule out pancreatitis, she doesn't think that's what this is. She thinks it's most likely that this is an infection and inflammation. He's responding to the medicine and has been eating, so he's definitely getting better.
In an hour I go pick him up. I'm a little concerned about bringing him home, because I've never successfully given a cat a pill in my life, and he'll need two pills twice a day for at least five days! I need body armor. But I can't leave him there; I'm almost out of money! Yikes. Wishing I'd bought pet insurance last week when I was thinking about it!
Anybody know any tricks for getting a too-smart and quite strong cat to swallow a pill?
