Wonderful to hear that Zen was able to be there for F2F venting. Have some hard salami and cheese and lots of olives for snacks. Soy sauce is lovely salty goodness too.

My mom is not supposed to drink water. Vegetable juice or sports drinks. People who work outside here take salt pills but that may just help with the sweat loss type of low sodium.

Ugh, meara. Girls are supposed to wanna have fun, not just dance the night away.

My dad has been on fluid restriction to correct low sodium for about 8 years; it's what made him clinically depressed and then insanely anxious for about a month. He seems to deal with it pretty well (WAY better than I would), but he doesn't move around much and is the most cold-natured person I've ever met, so getting thirsty from being hot isn't an issue.

Ugh, Ginger. I am sorry that your oncologist is a git. Glad Zen is there.

sara, sorry for the sick. Knew it was inevitable, but still.

suela, your dog is gorgeous.

We tried to take Penny running at the Rose Bowl yesterday. It was a fail. If our group didn't stick together, she would stop until the group caught up. She is decidedly a pack animal.

Ginger, I'm sorry about the Oncologist, but I'm so relieved Zenkitty is there with you.

If our group didn't stick together, she would stop until the group caught up.

Aw. Walter likes to keep the herd together, but if we're running he likes to be out in front.

Bummer, meara.

I was just going to run over to the grocery to get a cuke but my goggles broke last night, so I guess I gotta go to the sporting goods store too.

I wish this cold would either commit or go away. It's low level annoying,not enough to commit to a full sick wallow. But I can't go anywhere without Kleenex for the random snot explosion.

Damnit, cats are drapey. As if being all over me last night wasn't enough.

So I'm watching an episode of Poirot on Netflix, and I totally love that Poirot's solution to the murder depends on the fact that British cuisine is horrible.

Heh.

My dad just called memoir help with his phone while I was trying to watch football. My world is all topsy-turvy. I didn't miss anything good, but still, weird.

Aww, Ginger, I'm sorry things are so horrible right now. I hope having Zenkitty there helps.

Thanks folks! Jetta is a pretty girl, and even sometimes well-behaved. Right now she's conked on the floor next to me because we walked nearly 7 miles on hilly trails and she's tired. Soon we will meet the dog-walker, and then I will make these gingerbread blondies, and then go see Creed.
