The loss of my kitty
Two weeks ago, Film Series : The Cat, informally known as FS, passed away at the age of 19. She had stayed amazingly healthy right up until early last year, when she showed signs of kidney disease.

a mixed victory over packaging...
On one hand, Henry's presents are now sitting on the table with the tree with a velvet throw hiding them as "wrapping". On the other hand, I got them completely unpacked, untangled and in the neccassary case batteries put in. So while the "unwrapping" process may be overly quick for anticiaption, the "getting it out and playing with it" process ( Read more... ) -
Ask Dr Live Etiquette... facebook friends

So I've found myself wondering... is there any chance that the current economic meltdown might leave the ( Read more... ) -
Everyone else is doing it....
...So I'll livejournal on a political topic. But since everyone else has done the presidential election, and I've been weirdly apathetic about it this year (yeah, I don't want another republican administration, I'm voting for Obama, whatever...)

largely unsuccessful heroism...
I tried to save a coworker from a tumbling pile of boxes today, and thought I had largely succeeded (she still got bumped but I stopped them before they actually became a pile of boxes on top of her) then an hour later or so she mentioned that she was having pain in her head and occasionally feeling nauseous and "out of focus". So, apparently I was ( Read more... ) -
