This is the book: [link] I thought I had some of the research bookmarked, but I don't. I'll have to poke around.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That book sounds interesting. Someone I've known for decades, from book group, now does body work and other kinds of healing in Portland, plus computer programming. She does a really comprehensive newsletter, and I just looked and she reviewed that book and has links to the book Steph talked about, to the test in the book, and some of the research in it. She's good people and she's really smart. Here's the link in case you're interested. You have to scroll, there are a whole bunch of book reviews here. [link]

My cat Java has diabetes and he's 20 years old. His blood glucose went down to 63 this afternoon, which is life threatening. I had it back in the normal range within an hour, but someone on the feline diabetes message board just asked me if I re-did the test to make sure it was accurate before I treated for hypoglycemia. That's a good question and should have but didn't think of it. It's so depressing. Am seeing MD next week, I think it's time for ADs

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.
Java, I am sorry to hear that The Cat Java is having such health challenges, and that it is wearing you down. You certainly deserve whatever support you want or need for your own state of mind.

Thrive to spite them
I don't work at petsmart anymore.
I was called into a meeting and asked about "the altercation" that happened yesterday. I was totally clueless and it turns out ...I instigated the altercation.I am still not clear about what I did but the new supervisor reported me and it was sensitive enough (whatever that means) that it was reported to HR.
I felt embarrassed that I had no clue what was going on and that I cried. But I gave my notice and worked until 11. The supervisor was going to becoming in and I would have to work with her. I just didn't feel comfortable.

That is bewildering, askye. I'm sorry.
