-t, I think it is more I just want to get it done, not wait another two weeks. And what if I don't have ADD? Why is my brain so jumpy (for lack of a better way to explain it)?

Meh - today is driving me nuts. I send an e-mail asking a question about A and get a 1/2 answer. I reply with different wording asking about A and (mistakenly) mention B. I get a response about B. I try once again to ask about A and get a response about all the reasons A is delayed but with nothing about what to do to get A moving.

Communication people. WHY is it so hard?

How are you allergic to Portland?

About two hours outside of Portland a cough started followed by sinus congestion and a runny nose, all of which has gone away upon leaving the area. I am ridiculously literal sometimes.

I've been home just over 24 hours and have taken both cats to the vet.

I did that, too! Except just one cat, 10.5 hours after I got home. Where I paid for blood work and THEN learned that I've only been giving half the prescribed amount. So of course the bloodwork will need to be redone in another month.

Ask a Manager has a question up today about an employee who's posting slurs and other hate speech under his real name. In the comments, it's funny how all of the people who are like "Free speech! Slippery slope! Persecution!" are posting under male handles.

Truman, our elderly Standard Poodle has to get three pills, morning and night. He's very sweet--he hates it, but he stays still and lets us pry open his mouth and throw the first two pills in. We then hold his mouth closed while he swallows and the whole time, he looks up with such desire to please and then rubs his head against me as soon as we let go. He's just the sweetest guy ever. (Our other doggie will let you give him a pill, but then walks away like "Man, you guys are the worst. I can't BELIEVE you did that on purpose.")

He loves his glucosamine pill, so he gets that for dessert.

Timelies all!

Home with the little guy again. Everything looked fine at the pediatrician, so he goes back to daycare tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to get used to my glasses. Part of the problem is that the right earpiece is causing a sore spot on the back of that ear.

We just put Kato's pills in peanut butter, and he's like "I get peanut butter AGAIN??? I love you guys!!!"

I want to Womansplain the First Amendment to those people.

I call Walter's glucosamine pills his treats. They are apparently pretty tasty. Even the cats are willing to eat them.

That is funny. #banmen

Aw! My cat Homer was like that. Hazel just nopes out. Even when they taste good! The ear-rubbing is working out fine, though.
