I nterrupting to say :

I want my cat's health to improve.

Oh, meara, I feel your pain! With those specific locations! You could also go to the Eiteljoerg! Or go to Monument Circle and look at the lights! (Although Dave & I love Indy's children's museum and have dragged many people there. It has a giant liquid clock.)

Or, you know, you could have a vacation. Sheesh, parentals.

My folks totally do this. Last time we took the architectural tour of Columbus, IN. We were dubious, although it did in fact turn out to be interesting.

I just was way more intent on lying around on my parents' couch and reading their back issues of Mother Earth magazine and Readers' Digest and filling in erroneous answers in my dad's latest Sudoku book.

I think the parents worry that we'll be bored hanging out with them. But really, not so much.

{{{beth}}} and {{{beth's cat}}}

A friend who is in town (i.e., closer to me than California - where she lives) phoned tonight to say that she may not be doing anything she planned because they were on their way to the hospital with her little boy who pulled a cup full of hot water for tea onto himself and is badly burned. - - ~ ma for him please.

~ma for Sumi's friend's little boy.

~ma also for beth's cat.

I am strangely soothed by playing in my brain a constant loop of Paul Gross as Geoffrey Tennant uttering a magnificent "FUCK" as he stalks out of the theater.

I really need to see him in something other than Due South. My brain just broke trying to imagine Benny cussing.

I really need to see him in something other than Due South.

Slings and Arrows. You'll love it. I guarantee this.

I have a date for the company holiday party! A friend-date, but at least I won't be going alone this time. I didn't realize you could bring non-significant—but not insignificant—others, so my co-workers convinced me to ask a friend. I don't even know what it's like to go to a...Thing with someone. This will be a new experience. (Or maybe it will be like the time I brought a friend to a company happy hour thing after our free movie fell through.)

SHANE DAY!!!! Ahem...

So...how are things?

It is hypothyroidism, and they have called in a prescription for the synthetic thyroid.

I take synthroid every day. It's a slow acting med, so it will take a few weeks for it to be at full strenght in his system. They'll probably want to re-do his bloodwork in about 6-8 weeks.

I just got back from a dinner party. I am a bit tipsy. I didn't drink a lot, but I'm on OTC cold meds, too, so it hit me a bit hard. Great party!

Slings and Arrows. You'll love it. I guarantee this.

I adore that show.

P-C, I took a close friend to my company holiday party since Steve's in Boston, and we had a swell time! You will too.

I really need to see him in something other than Due South.

Men With Brooms. Because he's naked.

ma~~ to Sumi's friend's little boy
