When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

It's starting to get noisy here. Fingers crossed.

Cats are all on high alert, ears swiveling like demented radar dishes. ( The noise, from beneath you it comes. )

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Imagine the ear swiveling if you had fennec foxes, instead of cats!

I just came over all nauseated and hot at work-- and now I have "Barfalicious" to the tune of "Bootylicious" stuck in my head.

Ugh. My doctor called with lab results. Exercising every day, eating a crapton of fruit & veg, and quitting smoking have done nothing. Numbers are worse.

Why can't I be a healthy fat person? Whyyyy must I have the Death Fat? Maybe I should go on flea's dad's super restrictive diet.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Exercising every day, eating a crapton of fruit & veg, and quitting smoking have done nothing. Numbers are worse.

Dude, what the hell? That's so unfair.

That sucks. Or wait. Maybe that means that not exercising and living on pizza and chili dogs would make things better. Because, science!

Or, sadly, not.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yeah, she typed unhelpfully, maybe you'd be dead if you hadn't given up that stuff.

(I still feel for the friend who was diagnosed with full-blown diabetes after years of vegetarianism and marathon-running. At least, she said, it wasn't like she had to make a whole bunch of painful lifestyle changes.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe that means that not exercising and living on pizza and chili dogs would make things better. Because, science!

I mean, it sounds like at least an experiment is in order, no?

Sorry, shrift. Have a nice glass of diet water to comfort yourself?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Calli, I am no pet expert but I do know cats are prone to asthma, and a barking cough sounds like it may be asthma. My old cat (who I won't name here in order to spare meara confusion ;-)) had it and her primary symptom was coughing in her sleep.

Which reminds me, sorry for the confusion meara. I have never kneaded and drooled over Cody's jackets. Perhaps I'll stop there.

Ugh shrift, that's frustrating. At the same time, it's only a single snapshot of your health, it doesn't mean the changes have amounted to nothing. It can take a while for the benefits to become visible even though they are there.
