Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

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

I'll get the carrier from the garage and see if I can get her into it. This is really a shitty start to my 53rd year. (See message in Beep Me)

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

Timelies all!

The heat wave continues here.The drive home wasn't too bad, considering that the a/c is not working well and the temps were in the 90s. Probably helps that my car is parked in a garage all day, away from the sun.

I hope the new treatment is helpful, Epic, and that you can get your cat to the vet with minimal issues.

Dammit. I'm so sorry, Epic.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh Epic, that is sucky. I am so sorry.

Ooh, that is a nice looking happy hour! $2 oysters is pretty good! I still want to be able to get them for a quarter but I know that's not a thing that will happen.

I couldn’t figure out why I was dreaming about oysters but I think this might be it.

Oh Epic, so sorry. What a birthday.

I need to clean my house for guests and prep for the pride brunch I’m throwing…don’t especially want to but definitely want to more than I want to do work! Which is a bit of a problem because there’s plenty of work to do.

Damn, Epic. You deserve a better birthday. Many, many, many better birthdays.

I was able to catch Ember. I had to find an emergency vet, no one else would take a walk-in (some people need to revisit the meaning of "Urgent care"). They said she's severely anemic, but they don't know why. So tonight she's staying there, currently on oxygen, going to get a transfusion. Hopefully tomorrow they figure out what's causing the anemia. Thank you for encouraging me to take her in. She seemed to be doing better just from the oxygen when I left. So I feel like less of a monster for how miserable she looked when I put her in the carrier. The $$$is going to be considerable, but I'll figure it out later. For now, just trying to unwind enough to get some sleep...

I’m sorry, Epic. That is a rough start to your new year. Glad you were able to get your kitty to the vet and hope they figure out what’s going on with her soon and hope it’s not too expensive to treat. (Pets!!) Also, hope your new treatment goes smoothly and the side effects are limited.

Our wings are not tired.

Sending much love, Epic. I'm sorry that taking care of yourself, and Ember, is so difficult. All the ~ma that this next course of treatment is very effective, with minimal side effects.
