{{Gud}} I am so so sorry.
This is just not a good April.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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?

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.

My sister got married this month so I'm not going to hate on it too much.
To cheer you all up. Family Circus as captioned by The Onion writers. #6 is priceless, though there is one that may be in poor taste. [link]

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh, I want to wrap everyone up in hugs today. Job~ma to Gud and DJ, sympathies to Jilli and FP, and serenity all around.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, you might want to skip #3 if you're feeling vaguely sensitive.
