And my last post leads into the latest on Max, which deserves a post of its own even if it is serial. On Thursday, we decided with the oncology vet that he's undergoing palliative radiation, because the recent lung problems means it's best not to put him under anesthesia as many times as a full course would require. He had to go in again on Friday for another scan and the first treatment -- the tumor hadn't grown, but fluid with cancer cells got into a sinus, which means the radiation target area now includes his left eye, and he's at high risk for a cataract in that eye in 6-12 months. He handled the radiation well (and a flush of his nose to reduce fluid washed out a piece of the tumor), and his appetite is better, but last night he started limping. So back to the vet, who diagnosed cellulitis (nothing broken) most likely related to the catheter used for the radiation.
Add in Marie's check-up on Monday, and we've been in a vet's office 4 of the last 6 days.
Just got off the phone with my cousin, who has an interview in Oak Park tomorrow--yay, him! He's been living at home and job hunting for a long while after going through some really bad health problems. He'll be at Millenium Park tonight for a concert (yuck, it's going to be sooo hot!) because the company he's interviewing with designed the sound system there. Yes, he's another sound designer, like ND!
I'm going to check with my boss and see if I can take a half day tomorrow to meet him for lunch after his interview and then give him a ride to the airport, then head back to the Oak Park area to go to class.

Happy Birthday Ouise and Zenkitty!
Safe travels, msbelle!
Kat, I understand why people go on shooting sprees. Gah.

Kat, if only the Leverage team were for real.
Happy birthday, Zenkitty! Happy birthday, Ouise!
Also? Happy moving day, msbelle!
And good thoughts to Max.
My kids went to sleep at 9:30 and woke up this morning at 6:30. No wonder they are so cranky lately. They aren't sleeping enough, too much summer sunlight.
Birthday Happies Zenkitty and Ouise!
Happy birthday to the birthday girls, and good moving to msbelle and Mac.
I checked my e-mail. Everyone is stupid. Including me.
