Sail, she's registered at Macys and William Sonoma.

I will be sure to give her extra hugs from the Buffistas.

Just heard from the vet. The news is either good or very bad depending on what happens over the next week. She is eating again and most of her bloodwork was normal...except some very high protein markers. She may just have a bacterial infection, which is treatable and will be fine. Or she could have FIP, which is an infectious, fatal disease that, in a worst case scenario, could kill every cat in our house since they've all been exposed. I should note that that last scenario is extremely unlikely since transmission of the mutated virus isn't that easy and most cats never develop the fatal version even of exposed, but having this hanging over my head right now is crippling.

I can't even tell you how desperately I need it to just be an infection.

I'm going to pick her up in an hour and start her meds. They are going to re-check her in a week. If her viral/bacterial load is down and she's gaining weight, it will be okay.

Oh Jesus, Kristin. Vibing hard for your family.

Hoping for an easily treated infection, Pix.

Thanks for the info, sj!

Mia is doing much better today now that she is home and is much more herself. The vet is leaning towards this being a bad infection rather than something more serious like cancer or FIP given how quickly she is responding to treatment. She's on pills twice a day (that's going to be fun). I just have to believe that's what it is so I don't freak out.

Have a wonderful shower, VW!

Happy Anniversary, Billytea!

Oh, Pix, that's scary. Good vibes for just an easily treated infection.

Congratulations and hugs to vw!

Happy anniversary, billytea and Wallybee! The world is better because you got married. Isn't that awesome?

vw's bridal shower was lovely, as was vw herself. I sent her all the buffista love. She opened a ton of presents. The food was so good, and I ate way too much of it. So, now I am home and about to go into a food coma.

Pix, vibing hard that it is just an infection.

Oh Pix, sending good thoughts your way.

StW is allergic to Xusa

Ah yes. DH was horribly allergic to Burrell when we first got together, lucky for me he didn't hold that against her. Or me.

Today, Wallybee and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary.

I am so thrilled that you found such happiness in your life, William. Also I thought of you when there were some ducks chilling in the parking lot. I mean, why are the ducks just sort of hanging out under a car? It was either a male and a female or two different kinds of ducks. Anyway, I thought of you earlier. Because if there was an explanation for random ducks, you'd probably know it.

Now I am going to email the bad picture I snapped to my dad because when I was a kid there were random ducks in the desert and I made my dad and his friend catch them so I could have pet ducks. Realistically, I just enabled coyotes to have duck for dinner. But that would have happened anyway. Ducks are not really desert savvy. And this way I can say I had pet ducks briefly.

What a lovely day to be happy about vw's upcoming nuptials too!

Pix, I hope that Mia bounces back quickly and this is just a pain in the ass infection to treat. She's a darling kitty.

I'm pretty sure I upped my game today on bruises that look kinky but were just me being clumsy. Awesome.

Hmm. I slept in late, then walked around to the new bakery (yummy asian baked goods like pineapple buns and taro buns! Sadly, I cannot recommend their BBQ pork bun, but everything else I've had is delicious), went to the drugstore, the bank, and got a pedicure. I was planning to go to the WA State Mr./Ms. Leather competition this evening (starts in...40 minutes) and maybe dressing up (a friend I was with yesterday mentioned she might have leather shorts that would fit me that don't fit her anymore)...but now I'm tired and lazy and on my couch and know I'd probably have to stand the whole time and....blah.
