I really wish doctors would call back when they said they would. Neurologist should have phoned with results from Saturday's testing by yesterday afternoon, or first thing in the morning today. She still hasn't called. I mean, maybe that's good because it means whatever they found wasn't immediately pressing? I don't know. Just call me back, damnit ( Read more... )

Emailed Jay a while ago to ask him a Crabby Cat-related question about some behaviour issues I was noticing - she's old, and I think she may be starting to go senile, and I wanted an opinion from someone who knows cats well. Whatever, probably a mistake, taken. I was short, curt, formal, and to the point, no spare words or details, purely business ( Read more... )

Couldn't figure out why I've been having headaches for the first time in my life - had migraines since before I can remember, but never had regular, plain ole headaches before last winter ( Read more... )

Giant mug of hot apple cider with mulling spices and a double shot of rum... delish.

Totally preventing me from finishing the job applications I wanted to get done tonight, though.

So I'm not dead. Yet. It's been close ( Read more... )

As it turns out, there's a reason why Crabby Cat is Crabby Cat, and it's not simply that's she's old. Took her to the vet for the second time in less than three weeks for what I thought was a UTI based on her behaviour. It's not a UTI, it's kidney disease. It's not curable, but it's manageable, which is fair. The vet was more concerned that she ( Read more... )

Jonathan Rhys Meyers may be the most attractive man in Hollywood this days. Not only does he act, he also sings and plays guitar and plays football.

We'll just overlook the fact that he kind of has rapy-eyes and he might perhaps be a little unhinged. I can accept that.

The list of places I am no longer allowed to visit has grown. In addition to any and all bookshops (including second-hand, foreign language, and museum bookshops), I now can no longer patronize ( Read more... )

Okay, seriously. My mates need to stop getting married. Beth gets a pass on this, because college roomies always get a pass on this like this. Everyone else doesn't get a pass ( Read more... )
