Hi Karl! Good to see you again.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hi Karl. Good to see you.
Yay for Lucky doing well, and being pill-able. Some cat had to be, to balance out the trickster that was Jenny, pretending to swallow and then spitting out the pill in some hidden place, to be found hours?? days?? later. And the incredible fight-to-the-last-breath TC who would seriously savage those who tried to pill him. I'm very happy you got the balance cat.

Glad to hear Lucky is doing better, Maria. And that pilling her is relatively easy. The only time I had problems with either of my cats was when one was on chemotherapy. The pills were huge and he just couldn't swallow them. Fortunately, pillers exist and that seemed to do the trick most times; it could get the pill farther back in the throat than I could.

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
I'm super grateful in so many ways, not in the least that I don't fear losing a finger trying to make her better. I've heard the stories from you all here, and I was terrified.
She really has made remarkable strides in just a few days. The vet said a stroke is a stroke in cats; there's no difference like there would be with a CVA versus a TIA in humans. We had serious discussions about quality of life and when is the right time to make the call. Now, other than the abnormally dilated eyes, you can't tell she had a major medical event last Thursday. I'm in awe.

I think tonight is going to require a burrito.

Yay, Lucky! I hope she continues to improve.
I am currently eating Trader Joe's plantain chips, which are yummy, in case anyone was wondering.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay, Lucky!
Gary is doing both dropoff and pickup at daycare for the little guy(who's not that little any more, and is walking. Boy are we in trouble now. :)) while I heal. Unfortunately, he's got a couple of business trips coming up this week and next, so have to do all the wrangling.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good to see you again, Karl. It's good to see everyone.
Moving ~ma for them that's moving. Always an adventure!
Glad Lucky's doing so well! And that she's willing to swallow her pills, wow.
I'm coming out of over a week of the worst episode of chronic anxiety I've ever experienced. I see the new psychiatrist Thursday and we're gonna talk about getting me back on medication that works, because this cannot happen again. I've got shit to do; I can't waste any more time on this useless misery.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I blame the Supermoon.
Oh, now I will, too. Thanks! Monday has lived up to the loom. AMong other things, the report I have been pulling together for the last, oh, 4 days or so? I mentioned it to my salesperson and she asked if I could make it for only one of the three accounts I had included. Which of course I will now do. So that's a lot of wasted analysis under the bridge.
Aw, Amy, that's a drag! Not taking cash is whack.
Yay, Lucky! Hang in there. Like the poster. ANd good job taking those pills.
Dammit, Consuela eating lunch in the sun reminded me that it;s Sukkot and I should be taking my meals outside. I hate when I forget that.
Good to see you, Karl! You don't have to keep up to drop in whenever you have time, ok?
Wow, Sheryl, walking!
Good luck with the new psychiatrist, Zen.
