Nonfat lattes are pretty good for you, low fat and protein! But if you have full fat, or add sugar, it starts getting pretty calorie-bomb.

Back from the vet. Dean charmed them all (as usual).

There's nothing serious going on, just an Kitty-IBS flare up. The "sores" are actually his anal glands and they are working like normal. However, he's raw and inflamed from a combination of cleaning himself and stuff getting stuck in his fur and rubbing against the skin. She noted that he felt "gassy" as well when she was palpitating him.

He got a buzz cut on his hindquarters to keep the fur out the way. The vet told me to keep on the Forta Flora (and really that I shouldn't ever cut back, he needs it daily) and to get baby wipes and use those to help clean him up.

If it gets worse then there may be some things she can give him BUT it could make him worse so she's said take a wait and see approach.

And she pointed out that his right canine has been fractured (the pointy end is gone) it could have happened any time and that it's normally seen in cats that are hit by cars (Dean has never been hit by a car). And she doesn't know how old it is.

He's always trying to get up on things to see how high he can go and not always succeeding. He's wiped out a few times on the radiators so I'm wondering if maybe he busted the end off that way.

Full fat and sugar and that other stuff they throw in and it's basically a hot milkshake.

Glad everyone is okay after the earthquake. Although I think it should be a rule that all meetings end after earthquakes.

Which is of course how I prefer them! I actually don't think I eat badly on a regular basis, so it is the exercise that has been making the difference.

Teppy, is it bad to combine delsum and mucinex cough?

The news is saying that the earthquake could be felt in MA. I didn't feel anything here.

Earthquake, wow. I got out of my car at the doctor's office and the car kept shaking. At first I thought the engine was still running. Then I saw people exiting the clinic, at a rather leisurely pace for an evacuation. I thought something huge had exploded until a random stranger told me what happened. So I was driving for most of the action. Nothing in my house is disturbed except the cats.

My niece called me from Berlin to find out if her house was still standing. Now I have to go check on it.

I'm glad people are checking in and are ok.

My cousin's boss tried to calm his employee's down by telling them it could be a bomb.

Crowd control fail, there, son.

Earthquake, wtf? I'm glad folks are checking in.

ION, the tech job fair was ... well, it wasn't a complete waste of time, because I now have job contacts to list for the next few weeks of unemployment claims. But otherwise, not worth getting up early for. Almost a waste of eyeliner. BUT. After coming home and being dramatically upset about a couple of things (if that abx of evil has permanently reset my anxiety levels, I am going to be PISSED), I got emails about scheduling an informational for something at Amazon and a freelance writing gig.
