I want to thank everyone for their sympathy wishes. They really mean a lot to me. I intended to go through and respond to each one, but it makes me cry. So you get a general post of thanks. But it is heartfelt.

I'd left her at the vet to get some blood work done to check her kidney functions. The vet was calling me to let me know that it didn't look good and his recommendation was going to be that she be put to sleep when the tech came down from checking on her to let him know that she passed away.

Agnew's doing very poorly. She's all constipated and lethargic. She won't eat, but she will drink. She doesn't move on her own. She wet the couch. She probably needed to go to the vet today (or even yesterday), but I've had to work. She's going to the vet in the morning, though ( Read more... )

Tonight, Agnew scared the crap out of me. About an hour and a half ago, she fell off the bed and was having a really hard time walking because she couldn't keep her butt from flopping over. She went to eat and was having a really hard time with the kibble. I picked her up and cuddled her for a bit, then fed her some cat treats which were softer ( Read more... )

One of the things to come out of the trial of the broken eyes is that I can no longer take claritin for my allergies. Most of the time, this really isn't a problem, since my allergies aren't very strong. Unfortunately, this is the time of year where they are out in full force. Without the regular claritin (and I can't even take an occasional ( Read more... )

I'm so damn frustrated with my eyes. I can't wear my contacts for more than three or so hours once every week or two. Because if I do wear them for more than three hours, the eyes go all entirely red and dried out - even if I've been applying rewetting drops like a fiend while wearing the contacts. I then spend all of my time wearing my glasses ( Read more... )

I blame mizkitIn other news, apparently many people who drive priuses (prii? priae? what's the multiple of prius anyway?) do so under the mistaken impression that 'hybrid technology' actually makes them exempt from the laws of physics. Or at least, that's what their aggressive tailgating tactics at 75+ MPH tells me ( Read more... )

Today, I took another hideously awful ID picture.  My face is all lopsided.  It looks like I had a stroke. :P  Or was in the process of having a stroke, since my face is also all flushed from having walked over to the ID office.  Bleh.  The guy asked me if that picture was okay, and since I didn't think it likely we'd get anything better, I just ( Read more... )

I've been sleeping very, very poorly of late. Tending to wake up partway through the night with the need to visit the facilities - sometimes needing to do that twice. One night last week, I didn't have anything to drink after 7 and I slept that night without interruption. Things went along more like usual with me drinking a lot of water in the ( Read more... )

Omigod, sooooooo tired ( Read more... )
