Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yesterday Gary's aunt came down from Santa Cruz to have a play date with Mr. S (they went to the Children's Museum) and today we are using the licensed child care on site for a good part of the day.(We have to pay for it, but worth every penny) So we're getting a bit of a break right now.

Miss Erzabet has been coughing for not quite a week. We thought it was a hairball, but now probably not. We called our vet, who said they didn't have any appointments for today, but she should be seen today. We're taking her to the emergency clinic they recommended as soon as they let us know the waiting time isn't 3 hours.

Car rides send her into panic attacks that leave her panting anyway. This is not going to be great. Kitty ~ma, please?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Health~ and comfort~ma to your dad, Sue.

Much kitty~ma to Miss Erzabet, Atropa.

I'm in that anticipatory period of watching dark clouds mass in the west, from whence comes most of the local weather. C'mon, thunderstorm!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fingers crossed that all is well, Atropa.

Here's hoping everything settles down for your dad Sue, and that his surgery can proceed without any complications.

Fingers crossed for Miss Erzabet, Atropa.

Someone just asked me if my 3-year-old daughter was my grandson.

I'm guessing really advanced cataracts at work?

Health-ma for Erzabet, Atropa.

My dad's the Cardia Care Unit and they've changed his medication, and he seems to be responding well already. Nonetheless, I'm going home tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Continuing Dad~ma, Sue.

Erzabet~ma, Atropa.

Go, Theo! Drive like the wind

Dancing went well, for me anyway, but wow that was hot (3 pm, stage, such as it was, was in the street and had no shade whatsoever) and now I am super tired and getting cramps in new muscles (thumbs, come on, don't do me like that). I may just not move at all tomorrow, we'll see.

I quit at 13 to go yesterday. Currently 2 rides in today, so that's 11 to go.

Here's some spare health-ma to relatives and cats.

Our wings are not tired.

Hydrate, -t. I'm warm just reading that although it is like 60 here.

Also, echoing -t!

Continuing Dad~ma, Sue.

Erzabet~ma, Atropa.

Go, Theo! Drive like the wind

Today is my Mom's birthday. Missing her and wondering what I should do with the step-dad/sibling tensions. So far have succeeded with being Switzerland. Ugh.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Just. One. More. Ride.

I'm not in a hurry for it, but it would be nice if it was headed in the general direction of home.
