Oh, I also found out something today that will shock Teppy to the core - DH applied for a writing gig with SparkNotes and found out on their writing test that they explicitly forbid the use of semicolons in their plot summaries!

THE HELL?!?

Also, Jess, do you have a link to your vegetarian Skyline recipe?

Wayback Machine to the rescue - veggie Skyline.

Also, the dalmatian prognosis is rather hopeful. The vet didn't see any signs of neurological damage or a stroke or anything like that.

The backstory that *I* didn't know is that when The Boy let the dogs out the back door Friday, the dalmatian took a flying leap from the porch to the ground, bypassing the 3 steps. She often does this, to our chagrin, but she always lands normally. Until Friday. When she landed, apparently she sprawled and face-planted. I didn't know that until we were at the vet's.

Anyway, the vet examined her really thoroughly, and thinks that her problems were from the leap-and-sprawl, like if a human was mountain-biking and wiped out hard.

So she got a cortisone shot in her ass, and we have 10 days' worth of antiinflammatories to give her, and hopefully it'll resolve.

The vet also thinks she's got some doggie dementia, and we need to decide if we want to put her on drugs for that.

Jess, excellent! Thanks!

Aww, doggie. I`m glad it`s a good prognosis.

I hope the doggie makes a swift recovery.

I'm glancing at craigslist for the various places that have shown some interest in hiring me. (Still no offers, but there are a few places that have at least wanted to talk to me some more.) Just about all of those places, there are 2-bedroom apartments renting for less than what I'm paying now for a studio. One place, there's a three-bedroom house with a pool for about what I'm paying now.

Oh, and then there's this one, which comes with a discount at Sonic Burgers. [link]

I'm a great-aunt again! Welcome, little Mason! I don't know if there will be pictures, but I think my sister the proud Grandma will make some available.

My sister is 53, it's a perfectly reasonable age at which to be a grandmother, but thinking of myself as a great-aunt makes me think I should be a tiny little thing with white hair perched delicately in a chair, the way I remember my great-aunts. Of course, they were in their 70s at the time, but the brain is an odd place.

Emeline had an incident on the bus today.

She tried to kiss all of the boys.

Hm, maybe she shouldn't go to the next F2F.
