That is very definitely a rocket test of some kind. We've had a few out here on the west coast, where the military was testing ballistic missile intercept systems, and that is exactly what it looks like.

Happy Sunday, everyone! I had glorious sleep last night uninterrupted by evil neighbors. Today we're babysitting for a friends little boy.

Hey, Bitches. So, I've spent the past 37 hours with my evil friend, Food Poisoning. At least that's what I think it was. I think the worst of it is over now. I can keep water down now, which is a plus. I am sore all over and still feel icky, though.

I'm going to try eating a cracker. Wish me luck.

Oh dear. Seems like My Bitches and families are seriously dealing with the ick. WTF, Universe?

Much ~ma for everyone.

Today, so far, has been a lazy, lovely morning, although the one downside is the Sunday paper seems to have not been delivered. Bah.

Poor, Chi. Good luck with crackers!

Wow. ~mas galore, Chikat. You friend is evil.

I would like to download the contents of Shir's brain into mine

My, thank you! And, you do know I keep a mostly-academic blog these days, right? (with possibly a new entry tonight).

And, btw, you guys rock. My mom is already feel better. Don't know about my dad.

But, and however, I'd like to keep the ~ma to my mom, and pass your future ~mas to my dog. Short version of the story: doggy's been little bit weird lately, but not really weird. However, doggy started panting weird every once and a while. Doggy was taken to the vet today. Vet took blood, and tomorrow urine samples, and doesn't want to start and make assumptions, but seems like something is wrong with Louie. Could be his heart, could be not. Whatever it might be, will know more in a day or two. Vet, of course, is being wise with the not-jumping-to-conclusions thing, but we are worried. Louie, given what he's been through today, is in an excellent mood.

So, as I can't get out of the house, I decided to bake. Cinnamon rolls! [link]

~ma for Shir's fam and dog, Aims, Chikat, and the snowbound. Hope I didn't miss anyone.

WindSparrow, thanks for all the info. I will pass it on to my roommate and discuss. Since we're fostering, she doesn't buy the food, but I'm willing to pony up for an experiment or two. Made an interesting discovery today - kitty likes having her tummy stroked with moderate pressure, and it seems to spur her to eat more, purring while she does.

I need to take a shower. I have my first OKC date today.

Health-ma to all Buffistas and loved ones.

Poor DH is also sick with chills and coldish sypmtoms--and we are going to see They Might Be Giants at the Largo tonight. It's a tiny theater and he has been very excited about this, so I hope the poor fellow feels better soon.

Beverly, your list is my BF's list. I swap Cookie Monster for Bert.

I'm glad that Aims and Em are feeling better.

Snowmageddon!

Dog-ma to Shir. It's always rough when the furry ones are ill, since they can't tell us where it hurts.

I should do my taxes.
