So Nova went to the vet, where they noted she had lost a lot of weight. Blood tests show kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. They gave me prescriptions for thyroid meds(to be given every 12 hours)
If oral meds are too hard twice a day, transdermal meds that you rub into the ear exist. Kept Kittenish going for years. Nova should feel a lot better.
Ok, I have relocated to my parents and will watch to see when I can go home.
Keep us updated, -t, and be safe.
Twitter says they have stopped forward progress on te Fire, hope that's accurate! I'm not going home until tomorrow morning regardless. Curfew for one thing, but mostly I'm just tired and don't want to.
I just realized why the last few evenings seemed so quiet even with the intermittent sirens, distant helicopters, and fireworks (seriously, people?). I wasn't hearing the rattle of the train. It's not something I usually notice hearing unless the "doors closing" announcement carries really well, but I guess I do on a subconscious level.
A smallish group (200+ ?) of BLM protestors marched past while I was working on completing a series of safety training videos for work. Hazard Communication Awareness had to be paused for a while.
-t, I hope the fire will be under control quickly. Stay safe.
msbelle, what everyone said. Things are really not normal.
Continued health~ma to Nova.
Look, I dated that guy. For YEARS.
Did I mention how much I love Debet lately? Because I do. (I blanked most of my 20s from memory after getting sick for two years because life was very different after recovery, but I clearly remember spending years of my life with these dudes online. I thought of them as my "liberal pets [in training]". Some of their emails are still rotting, unanswered, in my email).
Remember Tuesday morning when I said my great niece was admitted to the hospital to be induced, well as of this morning I finally have a great great niece. Can't believe my sister is a great grandmother! Anyway, little Paisley arrived via cesarean this morning. She is a really pretty and good sized at 7 lb 13 oz. Parents, grandparents, and others kinda exhausted.
eta: and she shares a birthday with Dana, so how cool is that?
