If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

You can check a cat and dog's dehydration level this way: (all of this advice is from two separate vet friends)

Gently grip the animals skin anywhere, but around their ribs works best with my dogs so it might work with yours. Pulll the skin gently way from the body. If the skin slides back into place quickly, the animal is hydrated. If it stays tented from where you pulled, then the animal is dehydrated.

Sometimes, animals get into a funk where they don't drink water cause they feel sick. Then they feel worse, but they won't drink cause it might make them feel worse. If you notice your animal is dehydrated, before you visit the vet, you can force water down by taking a baster and shooting water into their mouths/down their throats. They will not like it. But if they have a little water in their stomach, then they might start to drink again.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Kat! I got the books just now! Thanks, especially for the unexpected bonus book! Look at all my exclamation points!

YAY! I'm so glad it arrived. While I liked The Preservationist well enough, I realized after I mailed it that I should have sent you Gonzalez & Daughter Trucking Co to continue on with a prison theme.

I think someone replaced my Wednesday with FistofDeathDay crystals.

Or maybe you got my Tuesday.

It took me until I got home to realize I'm really freaking furious about how some stuff is being handled. How I'm being handled. I'm just too wiped to deal with it right now, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kat! B asked me on Monday why I hadn't worn my grumpy pants recently. So yesterday saw the first resurfacing of the crankypants at krav in over a year. They were met with nostalgic welcome, suspicion, and envy.

Oh god, I still want some of those. My crafty skills may be lacking though.

Ahhhh... excellent. Just the reaction one would hope for.

No, no, Tuesday was far worse. Tuesday was a full-out flustercuck HULK SMASH kind of day. I was at work until after 9.

Today is more of a normal 'other people screw up and it's my fault because I'm not psychic' day. Except for the part where my boss is on vacation and we just had a massive email migration. That isn't helping.
