Dilaudid is a weird ass drug. I can't type for shit on it (formless rambling that I cannot interpret immediately or with time). I can converse reasonably well (though you can tell I'm on something) although I'm overly chatty. The amount of effort going into this (hopelessly brief) missive would be funny if I could watch someone else worry and tweak until their noggin explodes.

Kicking my ass indeed.

What that means, though, is that the first two doses were given correctly.

No word on #3 yet, though, Keep tuned in right here for more update as the situation develops

I hope they do get it right, ita. I dunno how you manage shift change.

Our house, this AM, was 58 degrees. The heat just leaks out of this thing.

I'm going to Starbucks, then LAX, then Anaheim then home today.

sarameg - I feed Penny Natural Balance Green Pea and Salmon grain free food. They also make duck, and chicken but I started with Dean when I had him and he couldn't eat grain or birds.

I briefly switched Penny off of it on to another food and she started getting gas again (she was a gassy, stinky kitten when I got her) so it was back to the Natural Balance.

Holy crap you guys, I slept almost 11 hours last night. I did not think I was that tired!

Woo for two proper doses! Fingers crossed for the third.

I've been working shifts that start at 5 or 6 in the morning, but this week I'm switching to evenings and afternoons - tonight I start at 7 PM. I am not sure how to make that transition, but I think it starts with not doing a whole lot this morning. I tried to stay up late last night and sleep in this morning, but once the sun was up so was I. Probably a lot of coffee in my future...

Zoe gets Natural Choice Venison and Brown Rice that I get at Pet Supermarket. I have been experimenting with a variety because she passes gas way too much. This one seems to be pretty good so far.

I hope #3 has happened and relief is reality.

I am apparently more emotional than usual today. Tears for Aaron Swartz while watching morning news while I managed to read about it previously without the tearful reaction. It is just so sad that he felt this was his only option. Heartbreaking for his loved ones. What a loss.

Note from the front lines: Don't pour that extra half cup of melted butter left over from that recipe down the sink. Else you'll be up to your elbows in dishwater, bailing it out with a mixing bowl and headed to Walgreens to buy Draino Max Gel before you've had a shower.

David, you made it to mumblety-odd years old without ever learning that you never pour grease down the sink?

What is this "extra butter" you speak of? I am not familiar with the concept.

Plumbing~ma!

How's the working going overall, -t?

I accidentally bought too many craisins yesterday, so am considering muffins.
