Oh, poor Matilda. Those coughs are miserable. I hope something helps and soon!

I did leave my ridiculous bluetooth enabled water bottle at a restaurant yesterday, but it was still there today, so now i have it back, yay! Consequence of my absent-mindedness, hot dogs for dinner two nights running. Not the healthiest of options, but yum. And supporting a local business, so that's a kind of virtue.

Poor punkin. The back to back to back nebs will leave her heart racing, which is totally normal though very odd feeling. Hopefully once that calms down she can sleep and then will be her fantastic self.

For me, I end up in a loop between asthma and anxiety which just feed each other back and forth until I can break out of the cycle. If I can calm both down enough to get some good sleep, it really makes a difference.

My dad and his wife have officially donated the clutchless car to charity - dad just got home from signing off on the pink slip. They are taking this SO in stride while I'd be flipping out if that happened to my car.

Glad they are cool with it, Suzi.

That's brilliant. So much of treatment is short notice "Please be at this clinic on the other side of town in an hour and a half, the rest of your treatment depends on it. Oh, and it's hard to find parking over there, so give yourself some extra time."

Here's hoping they can give Matilda some relief.

...snapdragons are on the toxic list. Perhaps Matt's cats were simply made stronger by the snapdragon.

Well, they are former alley cats that used to eat garbage, so they have pretty strong stomachs. I can't recall more than a handful of times I've had to clean up cat vomit in over two years of having both of them. I do keep them away from onions and garlic though.

Timelies all!

Health~ma to Matilda.

That's a relief, Suzi.

Best thoughts for Matilda!!

Kate, if she's got an e-book reader, maybe the first book in several different series?

My Mom went through the O'Brian "Master and Commander" series during chemo, which was not her normal thing. When she was healthy she preferred literature, but when she was on chemo she didn't want anything that required real thought. She wanted something that would keep her attention for a few hours but not so compelling that she'd stay up all night. And the fact that was 20 books in the series meant there was always another book available.

M&C was just one series she read through. I know she also read her way through a bunch of mystery series. Obviously specific recommendations would depend on her particular interests.

Poor Matilda. That sounds miserable.

I'm sorry, Kate.

Health~ma to Matilda. Long periods of coughing can be draining.
