Oh, man. I am exhausted, hardly got anything done today, and Frankie is under the weather. I don't think we need to go to the emergency vet tonight, but I don't expect to sllep very soundly either.

I am so not ready for this interview! Thank god I'm okay wih extemporaneous, though as any of y'all who've met me in person can vouch, I have a hard time telling a short story.

Yeah, I currently drink a whole lot of the Trader Joe's fizzy lime water. So I'm hoping to like the no-cal lime flavor that was included with the sodastream? But I figure if I don't, I can MAKE MORE! Yay.

I went to Bed Bath and Beyond because I finally got one of those 20% off coupons in the mail.

bonny, would scrambled eggs (cooked in a teensy bit of oil) be okay for a first meal back?

Egg is good, but I'd avoid oil of any kind. It aggravates the stomach lining and pancreas. You could poach the egg and mash it up.

Or try super lean boiled hamburger, maybe some boiled sweet potato.

In any case, resist the urge to feed him too soon or too much in the first meal. Give him quarter cup, see what happens, then a quarter cup more in a couple of hours.

He may give you big, hungry eyes, but know that what is best for his belly is to resist until it can right itself.

Skip dairy and poultry for a bit as well.

Thanks, love.

I took F-bomb for a short walk and he seems to have perked up a bit. Silly boy, scaring his mommy and auntie and grandparents like that.

I know this one all too well.

The first couple of bouts of bad belly are super scary, but over time you'll get to know the symptoms, treatments and coping mechanisms.

There is far less to worry about, most of the time, than you might think. Get comfortable with taking his vitals and it will go a long way to making it easier to cope.

Death, taxes, and my love for the Simonverse. And I'm gross, because I'm wondering how "Happy endings are for massage parlors," translate.

I want to believe I kicked off the SodaStream trend, 3+ years ago (best. purchase. EVER.), but I think I heard about it from someone else here who had one. Maybe Jessica? I can't remember. But I loves mine passionately. I pretty much just make my tap water fizzy and drink it that way. I don't actually care so much about flavor; I just love carbonation. That sounds a little crazycakes now that I've stated it outright. Oh, well.

Right? Andrew Jackson = BAMF.

My dad's birthday present last year was a biography of Andrew Jackson, with a printout of that article inside the front cover.

I need to find a good biography of Andrew Jackson -- would you recommend the one you gave your dad? And if so, what was the title? (PLEASE tell me it's Andrew Jackson: Badass Motherfucker. PLEASE.)
