Ah Suzi, I'm sorry for all who love This woman. It just hurts.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Flaring achy Achilles tendon means my plans to heft a hand-me-down treadmill up two flights of stairs are on hold. I think instead I'll go see a movie this afternoon.

Punishingly Intricate
lisah, that sounds delicious. I'd love the recipe.
I sent pictures of the recipe via fb messaging. Let me know if you can read it ok!
Pix, yikes!!! Poor kitty. Hope he's on the way to recovering. Thank goodness your landlady is on the ball with this.

The status is NOT quo.
Kitty isn’t improving. We’ve been referred to MR, which be happening on Tuesday. Just talked to landlord who has been thus far unable to get a line of credit to do the repairs. Our options may be either to move (which we can’t do, since no one will rent to us with six animals) or buy (which we can’t do -- no downpayment). So...we made a third option. We may be loaning her the money to do the repairs and deducting from our rent each month for the next year or so until it’s paid back. None of this is ideal. Dammit.

Oh Pix. I am so extremely sorry about the cat. So very sorry.
Ugh. Also, the loaning money for repairs seems overwhelming.

Thanks, Kat and everyone else who’s offered support and good wishes -- I’m sorry I’m all MEMEMEME right now and not much interacting with other posts. I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed by the whole situation. And yeah, loaning money is the best of a lot of bad options. We are still hoping it won't come to that and she will be able to get a line of credit by next week.
Wilson almost definitely has polyps in his nasal cavity (potentially ear drum) that will need to be surgically removed; the MRI will determine where and how serious the surgery will be.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Pix! Big hugs to you and Drew. This all sucks so much. I'm sure your landlord is terribly upset too. I know you have a long history there. I am so sorry that all this is piled on you guys.

Oh Pix. Best wishes for Wilson, and for a successful resolution.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, what a mess.
Sue, glad you're feeling better! A stomach bug is the worst.
We went caroling at my father's nursing home today, which was nice, although the singing was really for shit! Anyway, we were going to leave at 9:45, I went to bed at 11ish, woke up and it was... 9:25! YIKES! I was actually showered and breakfasted and ready to go by 9:50, which I think is pretty impressive.
Went to Target and more or less finished Christmas shopping, and now I'm doing my nails in front of the TV.
