Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I didn't have any luck on the Jellycat metal info hunt, but I did find that they have a stuffed dragon that is SO CUTE I'M GONNA DIE!

Ahem, that I may have to look into purchasing.

And also, the name "Jellycat" has earwormed me with the song "Jellicle Cats".

Oh, Cindy. I’m so sorry he has to go through that.

Hugs, friends. I've been reading and thinking about everyone.

My latest is that I had to go for a follow-up mammogram and ultrasound earlier this week because they saw something in June during my annual one. I wasn't worried, but they found something suspicious, so now I have to have a core needle biopsy next week. So. That's fun. It's probably nothing, I know. But still. I'm not looking forward to the procedure or waiting for the results.

a core needle biopsy next week.

That doesn't sound fun! Wishing you easy peasy best results.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Pix- I had to do that as well, except they basically wheeled me right in for the core needle biopsy. And then I was a wreck. It was nothing, and they gave me a metal tag in the lump so that I didn’t have to do it again.

My COVID-19 problem is now somewhat solved through the intervention of the provost with UHS actually allowing me to send the COVID-19 card I had already collecting, and giving us an email address for future enrollees to send their cards. They still basically have to do it in one day to not appear on the list and incur the Dean’s wrath, but still, an answer. But I may still be broken, because that was terrible. I play the role of Horton Hears a Who at work all the time, but this was the biggest one ever. But I guess even though I was embarrassed it went to the Provost (a student emailed her) it actually got someone to listen to me once I was able to explain the situation to her. It was a break from the endless number of people who kept repeating that the students should have been compliant by August 1 that they weren’t even our students until August 15, so how could they have been compliant by August 1? Do we all need to time travel to BEFORE August first so I can accept them earlier so they could have been compliant? Because it is now August 19th, and we need a solution now, not in the past. I may have gotten shirty with a number of people over this.

Those people deserved shirtiness, Sophia, how frustrating!
