The kitty lives to sneeze another day! The emergency vet gave her something to stop the throwing up (which was caused largely because she had swallowed so much blood -- hey, I'd throw up, too), and epinephrine to stop the bloody sneezing. And now we have her in a cage just in case she starts sneezing blood again, to limit the splatter radius. But the cage also keeps her near the humidifier, which tends to help her poor sinuses.
But she hasn't sneezed any blood since they came home last night, so she seems okay.
I was gone for three business days. THREE. Why is my inbox a nightmare?
I am so sad and sorry about Baltimore, Lisah and Sarameg, and Maria. I should probably be angry too, but my rage reserves seem empty right now.
If I can get my act together this week shrift maybe I can send you some better email
Glad your kitty is okay, Steph. Kitty~ma for Folly, Burrell.
I thought today was Wednesday. Was looking for the pre-meeting agenda email. All grumpy and "where is everyone?" Luckily I figured out that it's Tuesday before I contacted anyone and looked stupid. Congrats, Self, you've won an extra day!
I'd like to have one nice spring/summer day in this neighborhood
without
the obnoxious sound of whirring buzzing machines. If it's not the apartment complex on one side, it's the old guy next door, trimming the vegetation.
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in Baltimore, but it's so overwhelming. I can focus on that, or I can work, but I can't do both.

That's where I am right now. While we were out of town, we didn't have the TV on in the hotel, and I only had my smartphone, so I wasn't online much, and I know I missed so much about Baltimore. And now that I'm back, I have a lot of work to do before I leave again Thursday. Argh. Maybe tonight I can catch up.
I don't know if I'm more appalled about Baltimore or Nepal.
If I hear one more thing about people on Everest, I might scream.
Is having a dildo containing the ashes of your dead lover weird? Or is it just weird if you use it?
But seriously, I'm nonjudgemental on this.
Designer dildo contains ashes of dead lover
Designer Mark Sturkenboom's "21 Grams" is a glass dildo containing the ashes of a dead person. It's storied in an exquisitely-crafted box integrating a perfume diffuser and iPhone amplifier to trigger memories of the lost loved one.
"After a passing, the missing of intimacy with that person is only one aspect of the pain and grief," Sturkemboom says. "This forms the base for 21 Grams. The urn offers the possibility to conserve 21 grams of ashes of the deceased and displays an immortal desire. By bringing different nostalgic moments together like the scent of his perfume, 'their' music, reviving the moment he gave her her first ring, it opens a window to go back to moments of love and intimacy."
OK, the iPhone thing is weirder than the ash-filled dildo, IMHO.
Jesse, I was really confused, because there is a local news story about Everest Institute (a for profit junior college) closing suddenly and I am sick of hearing about it.

THat is not a phrase you want to hear about a cat.

Let me tell you, you really don't want to experience it, either.
