Compassionately intolerant

Strix is me.

I felt badly about not being able to meet my goal of giving blood two years ago. My guilt for not overcoming my needle phobia was assuaged by having MUCH too low iron.

Plus, now it seems I have a low red blood count.

I doubt that even the Freemen of Dune would want my piquey water.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I haven't given blood in years. There's no reason that I can't, I just never get around to doing it.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm afraid to tell my hemotologist that I donate. I'd probably get a lecture.

So, liners in dresser drawers? Yes or no?

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

So, liners in dresser drawers? Yes or no?

I line my dresser drawers with old t-shirts.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sorry it's been such a crappy day for so many.

Work was busy and scattered but around 4:30 my mom called to let me know all went well with my dad's heart procedure so I'm calling the day a win. And I came home to an apartment that is 68° instead of the 57°-63° that it has been lately.

Devi goes into the vet tomorrow for probable xrays and something called a nasal flush (which doesn't sound like fun.) Involves sedation. For an almost 16 year old cat with breathing issues.

I'm not entirely sure why I'm going through with this except that listening to her breathe is torture, not so much fun for her and on the off chance they find something either treatable or palliatively treatable, for that, I'm in. Hell, even to be told she's imminently terminal would give me something to pin down and plan out.

Falling apart because the repetitive wheezes just break me (oh, and the heater in my kitchen? Makes similar wheezes when it changes directions. NO LOVE, ME) every 2 days and being relieved that she's currently baking herself in the cabinet that houses the bedroom radiator because that means I can't hear her breathing....well, it is tiresome.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad to hear it, aurelia!

Hope it helps, sarameg.

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

Oh, sara, what a rough place to be. I hope they have answers for you.

Nasal flushes are kitty neti pots. I hope it helps the the bitch kitty breathe easier. And you as well.

kitty neti pots

Yeah, that's gonna necessitate sedation with Devi...

Oh, sara, I hope things get better.

I haven't donated blood in a few years, thanks to the Lyme (I'm assuming that would disqualified me) and multiple tattoos.
