Me too, I'm worried about whether the gum tissue will grow back strong enough to keep his teeth healthy. He may be on wet food permanently to avoid irritating his mouth, which is more cost and mess to clean up for a prospective owner. (At least he's so affectionate that I can't imagine any cat lover not falling for him once they've been around him for a while; the whole vet's office coos over him now.)
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!

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.
Poor kitty. Poor kitty who is very lucky to have you in his life, Matt. Whatever the future holds for the little guy, he's had a bit of care and kindness. In this world, that's a lot.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh man, y'all. My in-laws are getting exceedingly old and cranky. And Republican.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm a bad bad sibling/daughter. DH has strep throat and I am considering it a bonus that we won't be going over to see west coast family while he recovers. He would probably be fine, but they all have health issues and said to keep away. Considering that I am not remotely ready I am just relieved.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Heal up, Gizmo!
My 91-year-old grandmother decided to buy herself a new laptop this week, so my dad and I have been trying to get her all set up. She now has bookmarks to her email accounts and ancestry.com and we found solitare so I think the basic setup is done.

I am looking forward to seeing my sister and BIL but not especially my parents. And they get offended and yell at me that I'm an ungrateful child they should disown and then I am like "yeah, that really makes me feel loved and grateful and wanting to come back here!"
Plan for today has so far involved dishes, six loads of laundry, and reading in my pajamas. But I think my plan is once this last load is done in the washer I will shower, and Putin real clothes, and go to the store and then make cookies. And somewhere in there finish cleaning my room and pack, before going to dinner. Um.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, meara.
I should be cleaning the bathroom or something, but am not. Instead I feel ready for bed!

DH is making cookies. I may go shopping around 10 tonight thinking it will be quieter out there?? Either that or super early in the morning.

I am in the final stage of packing, and I was tempted to go to the new Mexican place around the corner for dinner, but I just found some leftover Thanksgiving dinner in the freezer, complete with gravy and stuffing, so I think I'll just have that for dinner.
Must vacuum, file, make up the futon in the guest room, and re-check my packing.
Oh, and check-in for our flight tomorrow! Eeee!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Bon voyage, Consuela!
