I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Holy shit, Suela.

Yeah, that should be malpractice.

ION, we just trimmed the kitty's claws and now I feel like a need a double bourbon and extra therapy appointments. But every claw is trimmed, by god, even the dewclaws.

That's terrible, Consuela! I'm glad someone stepped up to loop in the PCP. What a mess. I hope your dad is more like himself soon.

Consuela, that's unconscionable. Fuck.

I have put on the Holiday music. Still no tree or decorations, but I think I am getting close.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

OMG, Consuela!

I arrived home to a message that my mom had another ER visit last night. The stomach med she's getting (after her bout with bleeding ulcers) has been causing diarrhea and she's become weak enough that she passed out last night. They sent her home after some IV fluids and some potassium. Today her doc switched her stomach med, but the problem is unlikely to go away quickly.

Any ideas on easily digestible foods with high nutrient content? I suspect I'll be trying to find things that work for her when I get there next week.

I probably also need to re-think parental gifts this time. I usually do tickets to a show of some sort, but she's understandably not wanting to go out much. What tablets are good for newspaper subscriptions?

Ensure is my first thought.

Yikes, aurelia. I'd vote for bananas, myself. Dunno about the tablet question, though.
