Good luck with dressing, ita. I hear that pain. I have so few options and today I'm wearing pants that I like but I'm pretty sure they are too tight. Fortunately I rarely see people throughout the day. And my shirt should cover the worst of the too tightness. I hope.

Star Trek Enterprise Pizza Cutter

When Scotty buys everyone in Engineering pizza for a late night work session, do they cut it with a phaser? Of course not! “The right tool for the right job!” quips Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott. Instead, he uses a shiny pizza cutter shaped like the Enterprise herself!

My sweet Taz cat is at the vet getting his teeth cleaned. He has to go under anesthesia for that, poor fella. Hopefully this will be good for the long term so we don't have to worry about tooth extractions in the future, as long as we can work out a way to do brushings at home.

I just hate leaving him at the vet for the day. And he's such a good boy!

Embarrassing Billboard Typo

My sweet Taz cat is at the vet getting his teeth cleaned.

Aww, poor Taz. I get Amarna's teeth cleaned every three-four years, because she won't sit still and have me brush her teeth for her. (Heck, she won't let me trim her claws and only reluctantly lets me brush her.)

How are you doing the antibiotics? The first time I had to deal with it, it was liquid form, twice a day, which she hated but grew resigned to. The second time, just to save her the stress of having to freak out over me grabbing her to shove a dropper into her mouth, I went with the extra $30 and had them give her a shot. Much less hassle!

I would think it would be implicit, but I've always heard it said by people who I'm sure actually meant "I couldn't care less."

That's why it's idiomatic! Figures of speech don't have to make logical sense.

ION, I may have to kill someone today.

Oh hey, and there's a fire drill starting.

And today's sartorial ward against the evils of the fog of insomnia has been achieved with the long leather skirt. And five dangly earrings. Hopefully that's enough to keep me alert but not too much to aggravate my head.

I wonder what my migraine specialist will say about the reduced sleep...well, off to see him now.

I don't know anything about antibiotics, is this something I'll need to do after teeth cleaning? It's our first one.

Well, my vet is a believer in antibiotics before and after any surgery, which is what teeth cleaning is, so the first time, he had me start her with liquid antibiotics two days before the teeth cleaning and continue it for a full week. The second time, the one-time-only shot, given a few days beforehand, took care of that hassle.
