Found my wallet! In pile of laundry. So glad I didn't start canceling and replacing the contents yet. Whew!
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

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

Wooooot! Canceling cards is such a pain.

And I'd mentally written off that cash, so it feels like free money. Score.

Ann, that's a ferret.
So I caught a bug of some kind on Thursday. Made it through the workday but fell asleep as soon as I got home, and I spent the afternoon of the 4th at critical care getting IV fluids. And I spent the weekend getting not as much rest as I needed because Hubs is hypoallergenizing (is that even a word?) the house because he's become severely allergic to dust mites. Which involves taking all sorts of cushions, blankets, fake flower arrangements, and so on to storage. Plus collecting all sorts of things for future trips to storage. (Oh, and the storage unit is in Fauquier County. Which, for those of you not familiar with the DC area, is that gray area between suburbia and middle-of-nowhere.)
On Thursday night, we start down to Athens, GA, so we can get Marie started on stem cell treatment. (UGA is building a new vet hospital. After Marie, I figure we'll be about 1 major procedure away from getting something named after us.)

I go to work this morning to find that someone had been squatting at my desk and left behind some crap, so I have put it on the floor like the person squatting did to some of my things, because I needed to be a little passive-aggressive.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I just had one of those "beet" scares, where you go to the bathroom the day after eating beets and you think you are dying. Until you remember that this happens every time you eat beets! You would think I would be used to it by now!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Fred! I hope you can get some rest and recovery between now and Thursday. And best wishes to Marie.
Hee, Sophia.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yipes Fred, that's quite a scare for the 4th. I hope you recover quickly. You and the Hubs probably know about this, but the one big house change we made for my DH's allergies was pulling all the carpets up.

As a pet owner, I read this the wrong way at first, then realized you were talking about work and figured that a coworker wasn't likely to poop under your desk. Still, annoying for someone to leave behind a mess.

Take care of yourself, Fred! Good luck with Marie.
Heh, Sophia, btdt. Maybe we should all make it a habit to write "Don't worry, you ate beets" on the mirror whenever we eat beets...

Mmmmm, beets.
Oh my, Fred. That is a lot of a lot. Good luck with Marie!
