Did I mention I'm fighting off an ear infection and my new FSA or HSA or whatever the fuck it is is apparently a huge clusterfuck of a headache to deal with? And I still need to do all my reimb from last year?

I cannot deal and I have to.

ita !, that's a great outfit. And I really want to see the socks.

Dear Hivemind, have any of you ever used Retin-A? My visit to a dermatologist has resulted in a prescription. I know the basics (use at night, wait 30 minutes after washing my face to apply it SPARINGLY, wait another 30 minutes to apply anything else), but any other advice would be great.

After talking about using it, the dermatologist said, "I usually stress to new patients that they need to be extra-diligent about applying sunblock when using Retin-A, but I see you're a gothy type, so I figure you've got that covered." Heh.

I CANNOT PILL THIS GODDAMNED CAT!

A song I know too well! if you add /dog. Frank the dog was The Worst! I've been saying a little prayer every time I give CB her pain pills in peanut butter "please always take pills this way, please always take pills this way."

Speaking of pills, CB was totally being one this evening. And, of course I'm here by myself and trying to cook and she is just so bored from only being able to go on minimal solo walks. She's finally collapsed at the end of the couch but, dag, she exhausted me! Her new trick is making a vertical leap onto the dining room table. I think they must have inserted springs in her legs when they took out her reproductive bizness.

Oh my.

Dr. Prestia said she recommends getting kittens familiar with/hooked on treat food so that they're easier to bamboozlepill and aren't too picky. I was all @@. I mean, it does make sense. But I cut Devi off the people food because she'd steal it halfway to my mouth and that just wasn't on. (Especially barfed back up on the bed.) And then she had GI sensitivity issues and had to have a limited diet and at 16, it's almost impossible to get her to eat anything OTHER than her special food. That ship has sailed.

I can't believe I'm pining for clavamox. I wore that shit for 2 weeks.

All I remember from using it (as a young'n) Jilli, is that I had bit of the dry, red, flakeys at first, but things normalized quickly.

This is no surprise at all but Gud's children are as sweet and polite online as their father.

Miss Kitty was not happy that a blower was next to her food bowl. I kept moving it away foot by foot until it was next to Noodles bowl before she was happy. I'm afaid to move the litter boxes back in the laundry room until the blowers are gone.

Oh, Sara, that suck so hard. For both of you!

I went alone to see Les Misérables and TOTALLY held it together until that wench Éponine smashed my heart into a million tiny pieces and I spent the rest of the movie trying to find all of the pieces on the damned sticky theater floor.

Was it the " on my own part"? I haven't seen the most recent movie but that song always gets me.

Seriously, every time she was on the screen I about lost it. This Éponine is VERY affecting.
