Punishingly Intricate

because we're worried about Slinky's weight loss and ravenous hunger and such. Fingers crossed that it's diabetes or something else that can be managed with drugs/insulin.

That or hyperthyroid would be my guess based on experience with my cats. They both have the hyperthyroid and those were the symptoms, along with hair loss. And that was also the symptoms when Swifty was diagnosed with the diabetes.

(Also, I used to have a cat named Stinky so that's how I keep reading his name!)

Good luck, ita. I hope you can convince them.

I drafted a letter on Monday (follow-on from a meeting with the Big Boss) and sent it off to the lawyers to review, and it came back with none of my original language in it, other than "Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, my point of contact is [Consuela etc]"...

Very amusing, and I'm glad I've gotten over any territoriality about my words in the workplace. Nothing's ever perfect, and everyone wants to make their mark.

Wish I'd known about this job a few weeks ago--I could have buffed up my resume and sent it in.

Maybe I will work on it this afternoon!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is fantastic. I would like to send it to some people here.

Oh, Burrell. Best thoughts to your MIL, C, and you. And the rest of the family, of course.

Man, do I feel old and fuddy-duddy.

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?

My cat just got diagnosed with hyperthyroid and had all those symptoms (weight loss, hunger, fur). He's been on meds since Feb and has gained about 2 lbs and his fur look shiny and pretty.
