I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Sympathy to all. Was going to bitch about surprise surgery yesterday, but seems like I've had one of the least awful weeks. Gud, yeah April can definitely fuck itself. And Jilli and Fred and ... well year really really sorry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yeah, I'm going to go with fuck April, especially for jobs and pets.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

{{Gud}} I am so so sorry.

This is just not a good April.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Cross-post from Bitches:

Thanks. Victor didn't suffer. He never really regained consciousness after the surgery. And if it was FIP, all he had to look forward to was a few days to a week in the hospital, looking forward to our evening visits.

He was lively last night, climbing all over us. His movements were more confident, his irises were looking better. The jaundice in his eyes wasn't getting worse. The vet said his lungs were clearing up -- if they hadn't, I don't think she would have approved the surgery.

I knew there was a chance that he wouldn't make it through the surgery. But it still hurts incredibly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's good to know Jesse. Thanks. Clearing the cache and deleting cookies also seems to work.

Because books.

Fred, I'm so sorry.

Thanks for the dog breed quiz, Tom. I was way off one some of them, but I now want a "schnoodle" just so I can say it a lot.
