I suck at making friends. If I were forced at gunpoint to invite all my close friends within a fifty-mile radius to a dinner party, Iâd call both my sisters (and that would be stretching the truth with one of them). In everyday life I seem to attract needy people, I think because Iâm better…
subtitled: Killing time at the Starbucks immediately adjacent to my favorite Big City Hospital I had an appointment with gastroenterology this morning, and have another coming up with dermatology this afternoon, with four hours to kill in between. It’s too hot to go traipsing around Big Center City, so I locked-in the corner table at…
I get to add one more condition to my personal list of “been there, done that”. My A1C came back as clearly diabetic. This isn’t funny anymore.

It’s been a hard week for The Prof. We’ve lost cats before, but sometimes there’s a once-in-a-lifetime bond that forms between a two living beings that is both inexplicable and undeniable. That was Middy and The Prof. He currently marks the time elapsed from Easter evening, when we gave Midnight her release from suffering, by…
Midnight, aka LBlS, has spent twelve of the last eighteen days hospitalized. The Prof elected not to have an exploratory surgery done that would have definitively diagnosed her problem, but odds are she has lymphoma of the gastrointestinal track. She no longer willingly eats anything except dried tuna flakes, and only three or four of…
Cats> Weâre gaining and losing ground in the feline health department of Salamanderâs Swamp. Little Brown Shit has one more week to go on her course of Clavamox, and I take her back to her vet tomorrow for follow-up radiographs to see if thereâs any change in the chest x-rays. Sheâs still doing the hack-hack-swallow-swallow-hack-hack…
Cats All good entries start with cat updates. Another month, another set of vet visits. This time itâs LBS, who still has diarrhea at one end and major kitty snuffles at the other end. She seems to be improving, but has lost weight to the point where the Prof is just about running after her…
Odd. Coulda sworn I’d made another entry since Christmas. Time flies when your having a life. Cats Seems I always start off with a cats update. If I had the time, I’d ponder what this said about me. As it is, I’ll just write it off as sad, unworthy of further speculation, and move on….
I work hard these days. This isn’t to say I was slouching on past jobs, but my current position drives home how random the assignment for pay for work is. I’m making more than I’ve ever made before, but I’m working harder than I ever have before. Yet I see co-workers in different locations doing…
