Wait, what? You mean I won't have to bog down my DVD queue with all the discs of Friends?!

Ooof. I guess I totally needed that 3 hour nap, considering I woke up with insomnia at 4, went out Ubering at 5, and worked steadily until 10.

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

Man, my cats don't even like for me to pick them up in order to carry them closer to their food. Yes, sometimes they seem to be unable to find the food dish that never ever moves and is newly filled with smelly gooshy food. Cats.

Mmm, chocolate mint. I want to put fragrant herbs in my front yard to fight it out with the grass that I am betting I am allergic to. Will still need mowing, probably, but will smell nice and maybe not make me itch. Some weekend when it is not actively raining the whole time I'll get started on that...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Apparently not!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I just moved the cat's appointment to Wednesday because it's now freezing rain and sleet and starting to be rush hour and to get to the vet I take the highway past downtown into Kentucky, and I'm just nervous about the weather. I can't take the cat tomorrow because my car will be in the shop all day getting tires.

It's probably okay to wait until Wednesday for an ingrown claw, right? I feel like a jerk, but the weather looks bad.

Ann, that's a ferret.

We had a cat with an ingrown claw. It's uncomfortable/ painful but not life threatening. Not worth risking an accident for, especially if you have any leftover feline pain meds from past vet experiences. (And if you don't have any, call your vet -- at least in VA, vets can call prescriptions in to human pharmacies.)

I know it can get infected, and an untreated infection would be awful, but it looks fine (other than, you know, the claw being ingrown) right now. She's not limping or grumbling or anything, so it seems like it'll be okay until Wednesday.

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

Well, Nova (aka NOT my third cat) is now home with her owners. She lives a couple of blocks behind us.

I'm happy she is back home, but also kinda sad. She was so sweet.

Oh, that's good, Suzi. I assume the owners were worried about her!

I am getting some great deals Christmas shopping....on stuff for myself. Oops.

Aw crap, it just started pouring rain. Just before I walk to the pool.
