It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Jumping to the end to announce Mister Kitty is home. With his sugars under control and a round of antibiotics.

I am so glad I moved him back to Mt. Washington. The Pet ER was bound and determined to figure out what caused this, whereas me & my vet's attitude toward Mister Kitty is to just get him stabilized and since he did have small signs of infection, antibiotics. Trying to find out what was infected is kinda over the top.

He meowed and purred for me. Which he hadn't done since Sunday morning. He's asleep on the couch with me.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

What's a girl who basically wants an excuse to eat scones and drink tea and look at funny hats at 5am on Friday to do? Will CNN.com or BBC.com or someone have live streaming coverage?

It's being streamed live on YouTube.

It was just going to be me and my BFF who I lived in England with. But, it's grown to 5 or 6 people at my house at 5:30AM. In typical me fashion, I've gone overboard, I think.

I've made two kinds of scones -- plain that will be served with whipped cream, lemon curd, marmelade and nutella. And cherry ginger scones (which I know are not legit. What they are is tasty). They've been frozen raw and will be baked off that morning.

I'm also serving smoked salmon sandwiches and mini bacon buttys for a savory element.

After we're done watching (and judging), I'll do a fry up -- the works with sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, and eggs. I'm ordering bangers special from a local butcher, but I don't think that anyone really wants black pudding. I can't find proper english bacon (at least not anywhere where it doesn't cost more to ship than for the meat itself)

Wow, I would almost get up at 5:30AM for that, Vortex, sounds delicious!!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That sounds delicious, Vortex.

I am so glad I moved him back to Mt. Washington.

I am glad you moved him too, sara. At a certain point, the whys aren't so important. You treat and move on. I am so glad he seems to be reacting well. And purring.

Because books.

Good god, I would totally get up for that, Vortex.

I'm so glad for you and MK, sara.

Welcome home, MK.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Welcome home, Mister Kitty!

I'm positive that Jars once told me about the Celtic homosocial nipple sucking.

Oh I`m glad, sara.
 
I`m having a crap day. Missed work this morning by sleep, had a long facebook chat with a former student I thought was doing all right, newlywed and just had a baby, but it turns out babydaddy just wants to smoke pot and not work, which really, who doesn`t, but that`s not how you raise a kid. Then oil change, where they told me I should fix a coolant leak. Then tire shop where I couldn`t get alignment done because of my wagon`s skirts, but had to replace two tires because of the probs from alignment. Left there and my brake light was on. I thought it was stuck and tried to release it, but it wasn`t actually stuck. But it is now, because I pushed it trying to clear it. And the SO tried to rescue me but couldn`t and now I`m waiting for AAA because I sent him off to be at the fraught band meeting I`m supposed to be at right now. Please be able to fix it, AAA driver.

In continuing Classics Day news, my colleague who is working the night just told me she got a question from someone who wanted works on Jstor written in 400 BC. Jstor has a lot of historical depth, for a scholarly article database, but articles written in 400 BC not so much.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

babydaddy just wants to smoke pot and not work,

Yeah, our niece named her baby Mary Jane, and the whole family is pretty sure it's because of her and her husband's "hobby."
