I have some preliminary information back from the vet on the kitten. She was thirsty and ravenous, and has been tearing through all the food she’s been offered. I had requested they do an FIV/FeLV test on her, and she’s turned out to be negative for both diseases. A preliminary coag panel was also done…

Another year older and deeper in debt. I’d say that sums today up nicely. Oh, by the way, anybody want to adopt a black-and-white kitten in ten days’ time? If so, you know how to find me. I’d called out sick yesterday, so I missed the opening scenes of this drama. Apparently the head of…

I’m feeling a bit better today, but it still feels like I’ve been hit by a very large freight train. Since I’m still running a low-grade temperature, I took today off as well. I’ll be back to work tomorrow though, regardless. To answer questions: From: toverfeeDate Posted: 9 Jun 2004 Your sick days take away…

Runny nose, painful sinuses, chills, current temp 100.8° F. I stayed home from work, but I have my first writing class tonight, and I don’t want to miss that. Damn. I’ve got a nasty feeling that I’ve now used up too many of my days off to be able to go to California in August.

And Alli – the stupid 24/7 grocery store stacks the Pepperidge Farm cake boxes ON THEIR SIDES! In fact, most local grocery stores…

The Socialist has come down with a bad cold. I didn’t have any cold relieve stuff in the medicine cabinet except for a half-empty box of Thera-flu, so one o’clock this morning found me wandering the cold remedy aisle of the local 24 hour grocery store. This isn’t the usual store I go to (that…

The first person who dares to defend the “dear little poppets” to me today gets decked. I got up early (for me on a Saturday). I woke around eight o’clock. The alarm was set to go off at nine (I have to take my pills then), and when I couldn’t get back to sleep by…

I have a cheap, magnet-backed mirror in my office, affixed to the hanging credenza situated behind my desk. Below it are arranged the following tiles: look here see behind the glass seek a beauty that lies beneath that which the blind eye sees Take a box of jigsaw puzzle pieces. Sort through the box, find…
