Back from vet. Kitty is only 4.5 lbs, down from almost 7 at the beginning of December. She's anemic so they gave me a supplement for that. IBD, possible chronic pancreatitis, and quite possibly intestinal cancer. Sounds like she's going to another home, so I'm going to write up my opinions/advice (including WS' info on food) and hope whoever takes her is better prepared to care for her. I feel better having taken her to my vet, anyway.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I called in sick to rehearsal. Man, being sick is annoying and stupid.

Wow, Celebrity Fit Club has really expanded their definition of "celebrity." Shar Jackson [link] is on the new season. She seems to mostly be there to create "drama" because Kevin Federline is on the other team.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
There is snow in DALLAS!! Heavy, slushy, slippery snow. Shit I left NY to avoid. And it might inhibit me from driving to Fort Worth to see visiting Megan Walker! Humbug!!

Omnis, I think her trip is cancelled?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shar Jackson's more recognisable to me than some of those other Celebrity Fit Club names, but I'm sure Federline was a plus sign next to her name. Soon they'll be casting Jon & Kate across from each other, or Marshall Mathers and Kimberley Scott.

Oddly enough, VH-1 is following Celebrity Fit Club with a show about fat people who (::gasp::) like being the size they are.

Wow. One of the people on this show is a college student, and she and a few other students are trying to start a Size Acceptance club and get it recognized as an official university organization, and they're passing out fliers and trying to get signatures from random people in the cafeteria. I don't think I would ever have the guts to do that.

That sucks, smonster. But I'm glad you were able to get a clearer diagnosis and meds to help with at least some of it.
