I made it home!
In four years, presuming we're still having elections, remind me not to visit my parents during either political convention.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I"ve started doing a pub quiz on Thursdays with a friend, but next week is a special "Bob's Burgers" one? And I've never seen the show.
What?! You need to watch it as it is super funny all the time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I hear you on the qualifier, aurelia. I'm glad you made it home.

Our wings are not tired.
In states the obvious news, the media is really pissing me off with the continuous search for controversy.
Good Monday all!

At least the DNC starts today. Can't wait to watch it tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, it looks cute!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I won't be able to afford long term chemotherapy for Sammie if she has bladder cancer (a possibility but not certainty after last week's UA, red blood cells still present after a month's antibiotic treatment for bladder infection). I'm waiting to get a call back from the vet who saw her at her first two visits so I can ask the questions I was too stunned to ask the other vet last week. Meanwhile I am pondering the value of spending the $400-500 out of savings to diagnose an illness I can't afford to treat versus simply watching and waiting with a view on quality of life and easing Sammie's end.
Schröedinger's cancer? Knowing for sure but being able to do fuck-all about it, or peace of mind through expensive diagnostics?
First question for the vet is just how dramatic are the results of that UA? Is this a "could be nothing/could be something" situation, or is this a "red blood cells in that concentration mean something serious"?

Sorry to hear that, WindSparrow. I wouldn't (and have not) spend the money on a diagnosis you can't do anything about. For me, knowing the dx wouldn't give any more peace of mind than just keeping an eye on whatever you can tell about her quality of life.

My ankle's much better, but everything else that got bruised or got sore because I was walking funny now hurts more.
