Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, they get the publicity, so it works for them.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Raining again here. It's supposed to clear up by the weekend, when my folks are here. Still annoying, though.

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

Somebody brought in pumpkin pie. I am having a piece.

Possibly the first "pumpkin spice" thing I've had this Fall.

Delicious.

I'm so glad Boss's Day is not generally a thing for us. I used to have a direct report who would give me a card and a gift cert for a coffee shop and it was so uncomfortable because NO.

This year I only knew about it because one of my team sent me an ecard that read "Happy Boss's Day to someone I'm sure would give me the day off if I had ebola." That I can live with.

'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"

Long story short: I'm taking emergency care of a diabetic cat, and all the instructions I have for insulin injections is that he gets between 2 and 4 "units" depending on how much he's eaten. In several places, it says "units". And the needles I have, they're marked in MLs. So when they say 'unit' how much does that translate to?

I really don't want to kill this cat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just realized that a song I have heard on the radio and liked is by Taylor Swift.

I don't know what to do with this information.

Huh. When I had shoot up the cat duty there was no dosing. Seems like an important detail.

If the needles provided by owner, generally 1 tick mark= 1 unit. For example, I have 3/10cc syringes. They contain 30 units and are marked as such. It's a teeny amount. I'd aim low (the worst case effects aren't as dangerous short term as too high. Is in the immediate.)
