Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hooray, Connie! For the movers, not the dread. There will be hiccups, but the end result will be the same. A new space, all your own.

Monday needs to stop being so damned Monday-like. Why can't it pretend to be more like a Friday every once in a while?

Lucky update: She's home, and doing amazingly well. Right now she's on BP meds, and we'll re-evaluate in a week. Her eyes are still super dilated, but neither one of us is noticing a substantial neurological deficit at this point. She's moving a little bit slowly, and has stumbled once or twice, but that's the extent of it. Thank you so much for the ~ma. It's powerful stuff.

Yay Connie!

After 3 days of rain, it's nice to sit I the sun and eat my lunch.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Connie, your move is so exciting! I can't wait for you to be settled into your new place, chilling with a book and some wine on the porch.

Lucky update: She's home, and doing amazingly well.

Yay, kitty! That's great news, Maria.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Why are Skittles so delicious that I eat them until my stomach aches?

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Aw, thanks, msbelle. Natter usually moves too fast for me to keep up, even now. But this weekend/morning in particular, I needed to be here.

Nice to see you too, Ms. The-Nicest.

Karl! It is very nice to see your pixels around.

I mentioned that Lucky is on BP meds. Did I also mention that those meds are pills? I was cringing, even though the vet tech said she was the easiest cat ever to pill. Guess what? So far she is. I grab her scruff, tilt back, her mouth opens enough for me to pry it open a bit wider to drop the pill in, and then I hold it shut and rub her throat. No muss, no fuss. I'm sorry I've bogarted the easy pilling from all of the other cats in the world. I fully realize how rare this is.

That's good news, Maria!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My Homer was also amazing at taking pills, although I also wrapped them in a bit of Pill Pocket anyway, because I thought they must taste bad. Hazel isn't super violent about not taking pills, but she is Very Good at not letting it in to her mouth. Or eating a Pill Pocket. Or regularly eating a flavored chewable pill! The transdermal is working well, though, and she'll actually take the chewable once in a while, so I don't just have to throw them away.

Oh lord, the whole point was supposed to be: I am glad Lucky is doing well!!

Hi Karl! Good to see you again.
