meara, stop moving around! I'm going to strap helium balloons to you and hire somebody to drag you from place to place.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh no no no Laura. I am so sorry for sweet Zoe and for all of you. And Gud and sweet Gunnar.
And {{{Zen}}}. May her memory be a blessing.

Between all the marvelous Buffistas and their beloveds and their pain, and the awfulness of the world (oh, who am I kidding, the awfulness of the United States), Thanksgiving week 2018 is on my shit list.

Sucks. Choice is bringing her home for a day so boys can say bye or let her go now. Advanced lung cancer. Seems cruel to let her continue.

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

And now a ray of hope! Now vet says could be just cardiac or could be cancer and cardiac. But worth giving her drugs to get fluids down and see what the tests say. So she goes home tonight.
The emotional roller coaster!

Gud, I'm so sorry.
Fingers crossed, Laura.
msbelle, do you want to figure out how to import me for a week or so for me to put Mac through an intensive course of as your gothic auntie you've never met, I'm here to explain why you need to stop being a fuck-up" ? No idea if it would work, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Finally home at 2 something AM. With dog. I gave her some chopped up turkey and gravy and heart meds, and she ate them. Got a zillion tests to get results on. Digits crossed.

Mac, Mac, Mac. Need to send you and my eldest off to get a clue school!
Yawn. Up. Gave dog her diuretics and other meds in a gravy filled bowl of food, but no interest in eating it yet. She has gone outside 3 times already. Yay for weather that allows me to just leave the back door to the yard open for her.
Kids! Parents! Pets! Maybe there is something to be said for the hermit life.
