I have a question about meds: I called my pharmacy to get a statin drug refilled and I got spironolactone instead. Do they do the same things?
From my reading of the first few google hits, they don't do even remotely the same things.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Vortex, I'd say (1) you're being reasonable (and remarkably accommodating) and (2) actor boy needs to grow up and accept the responsibility. Giving you advance notice - at least 24 hours, preferably more, would be reasonable. And honestly - do these opportunities just spring up with no notice? Not being an actor, I wouldn't know, but I can't help thinking he must know well in advance.

I'd add that I don't think the amount of notice is the issue so much as sucking up the capacity for people to fill in on shifts, so that when someone like Vortex has an unexpected conflict, the willingness of people to take extra shifts has dried up. He needs to not sighn up in the first place if he has an idea there might be a conflict.

Yeah, I mean doesn't he have to audition? He'd at least have some idea that he might not be able to make shifts if he gets the part. I understand that it's his main source of income, but it's pretty rude to expect everyone to bend to his schedule.

This is not a good day. Last night Taz started exhibiting some very worrisome symptoms (peeing in Tom's slipper, vomiting, even after his stomach was empty, and no energy at all) so I was up most of the night worrying and trying to decide if we should take him to the Vet ER or if it was OK to hold out a few more hours to take him to our vet.
We brought him to the vet as soon as it opened, and they took one look at him and realized he was obstructed and needs to be catheterized. Just found out he has a raging bladder infection... but at least no crystals that need to be removed, so that's good news. They think he can come home tomorrow.
So tired.
Honestly, I thought my BP check at the doctors would be sky high, but in the silver lining portion of the day, my BP has decreased on the mild amount of medicine prescribed, so we're not adding anything for now, and not checking in again for another 3 months.

Sorry to hear that Taz is unwell, but this is good news.

Glad it's not worse. Don't suppose you can get him to drink cranberry juice ....

I'm slightly embarrassed, when I went to pick up Tom, they had already taken Taz upstairs and sedated him. At this point I thought he'd be at the vet's all weekend at least, so I asked if I could see him. The vet tech brought him down and lay him on the table and I just burst into tears saying goodbye.
I blame lack of sleep.
