JZ, he has a concussion and he jacked up his back. Basically he's been either surly, loopy or passed out the for the last week. And depressed since his baby (the truck) is most likely going to the scrap yard. This morning, though, he's reporting that his head doesn't hurt too badly, so that's a good sign.
Sail, it's been a total rollercoaster ride. They never figured out why Ashton originally stopped eating. He started on his own again, though, after a couple days of us pushing food into him through the feeding tube. A properly functioning liver is a wonderful thing! But then he couldn't get the food out on his own so he had to go back to the vet to have a number of enemas. Once he could defecate on his own I was called to pick him up again and then told to wait because they found an abcess where the feeding tube was. Poor guy. His neck looks horrible (they pulled out the feeding tube and lanced the abcess, which is draining from the hole where the feeding tube was) but he is improving daily. I'll be happy when he gains back some of the weight he lost through all of this.
I forgot to say that I loved Tep's new shirt. The Boy needs some sort of punctuation to wear now. Hmmm...
Poor Mike and Ashton! I'm glad they're both on the mend. 2009 has a lot to answer for! ::glares menacingly at it::

I thought you hated dark chocolate? Send me your new address.
I'm just not as big a fan of dark as I am of milk chocolate. I enjoy it paired with certain strong flavors like mint, peppermint and raspberry though. Milk can't stand up to the overpowering flavors as well, imo.
White chocolate, however, is disgusting unless used as an accent. ::shudders at memory of waxy white chocolate easter bunny in annual easter basket::
Insent!
ETA - do either you or TCG like ginger?
Insent!
Got it. I'll get it out to you on Monday.
ETA - do either you or TCG like ginger?
TCG likes it, and I like it in small doses.
Oh, Nicole, I hope things get better for your guys!
My hands are already like sandpaper with the frequent handwashing and winter cold/artificial heat. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of lotion I use.
I swear by Mary Kay's Extra Emollient Night Cream. It's a lifesaver for my winter dry skin.
Thanks for the lotion recs Andi and Cashmere. I'm willing to try anything at this point.
I'm reading through the old vegetarian cookbook -- this is the 1914 edition of a cookbook originally published in 1910. So far, I've had to look up two things, both of which turned out to be early meat substitutes that are still made: Nuttolene [link] and Protose [link] .
Happy Boxing day!
Note to self:
Parking my car in the deep, wet snow on Thursday night, leaving it in the rain and snow, and then letting it all freeze solid is not unlike parking it in wet cement and walking away.
