Today has been traumatic. Start with a failed filsystem, take cats to vet, get peed on by Loki, come home, Loki somehow knocks out tooth scheduled to be removed in early August. And freaks out in the process. And though I called the vet right away, I didn't process much, so I need to call them back to see if he should be on meds since broken tooth. Oy.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Ugh, that is a helluva day, sarameg.
I remember some talk at some time recently about plastic straws (and their badness); this company is reintroducing paper straws, except more betterer than the ones that went away when we were kids:

Sorry about the traumatic and annoying days. I am annoyed that I am still at work and starting to feel like I will never finish this damn report. Sigh.

Loki will cost way more than my root canal (under $300 without the filling.) But I have insurance and banked old hsa funds for me. Without insurance, my root canal would be slightly more than his likely 4 extractions+ blood work. As a datapoint for earlier conversations.
Gawd I'm tired. Not even looking forward to the trip, just too much going on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor you and poor Lokes!

So my failure to work-from-home yesterday was because the network was down! All day yesterday and half of today. I tried to do some filing, but without the network or a working printer I couldn't print file folder labels so...
I withstood the urge to get a fancy cocktail on the way home, and instead have a sorta-cocktail with Pisco, ginger syrup, and lime on the porch. Not too bad, all things considered.

So I made a decision. I'm putting Loki on the predental abx now, calling to confirm tomorrow. If they say not necessary, I will continue but "spill" the meds before the actual work and get new. BECAUSE HE BROKE HIS TOOF. And I'm leaving in week and a half and while my friend catsitter is well versed in kitty drama, I don't want that on her. Shhhhh.

Which reminds me, need to take my abx. Such a mess.

{{sarameg and Loki}} May today be a much better day.

Sounds like a good idea, sarameg. Poor Loki and poor you!
I booked this "meeting room" (which is an unused office) for an hour for a conference call and finished the call in record time. I'm really tempted to stay in here with the door closed until 9 just for the solitude.
