Today is the first day of "Welcome Week". Three days of orientation, then Thursday and Friday begins classes. (these two days fill in for the Thanksgiving holiday, where those days are off, so the Th/F classess still meet 10 times). Why we start so late is a mystery to me. I wouldn't mind starting a few weeks earlier, and winter break start with Thanksgiving! Break up the year a bit. But, I'm just a simple staff guy. What do I know?
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

We are quarter system. 3 quarters of ten weeks each. Then there are two summer sessions, each is 5 weeks. Not a lot of classes in school of the arts in the summer sessions, and no productions.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So far the kitty is okay. The vet thinks it's a combo of allergic rhinitis, lower humidity now that fall is on the way, possibly an infection, and a lot of inflammation (with an ear fungal infection to boot). So she got an antiinflammatory shot, and a shot of antibiotics, and some stuff in her ears. She is righteously pissed. I asked about antihistamines to stop her sneezing, but the vet said if the problem is being exacerbated by low humidity, antihistamines will just dry her out more, which will make things worse. So for now we're going to set up the room humidifier near her bed and see if that helps. (Presuming she'll stay in her bed. Right now she's in full "fuck you I am going to go hairball in all of your shoes" mode.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm glad the kitty is all right! That was scary, kitty.

My uncle, the one who has had all the lung problems, is being moved to hospice today. Any ~ma you can spare for him and the family would be very much appreciated.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
sj, that's so hard. Peaceful transition time ~ma for your uncle and all of your family.
