It is!
Also, the fact that I brought in a king cake last year but not this year came up, but in the context of whoever got the baby shirked their responsibilities, not that I fell down on the job. Because another department had something like a king cake, not really as part of the meeting, but still.
Thanks, -t. Still a mile-long list! I should just make a list of plants I'm likely to buy and cross-check.
Roses seem to be okay though. Baby's breath, tiger lily, and snapdragons are on the toxic list. Perhaps Matt's cats were simply made stronger by the snapdragon.
CATNIP is on the toxic list. Come on now.
Ffffffuck. Just found out a good friend has brain cancer: grade 4 glioblastoma, which is apparently quite aggressive. (She's my age. Jesus christ.) The numbers are not good, although I know Ginger would tell me that any five-year survival statistics are at least five years out of date.
I know a few people have asked this over the years, but I never did mark the post, so I'm asking it again: What are some good things to send in a care package to someone who is going through chemo and radiation? She has already had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as they could get.
Oh no, glioblastoma is a bad one.
Oh god, that's terrible, Kate.
Kate, that's awful. I'm sorry.

Food is not necessarily a good thing, because treatment changes the way things taste. Soft things, a hat or scarf for when she loses her hair, easily transported distractions for when she's sitting in the treatment room.
Oh, no, Kate, that's horrible. I'm so sorry, for her and for you.

For real? Huh. Danger of overdose, I guess?
Maybe I should actually read the list. I mostly plant stuff that is edible for humans and figure the cats will be okay, to. Also, mine are not big plant eaters, although Pixie does like her catnip.
