"Orange Alert"? Who are they kidding? Someone in Bush's administration has
been watching too many
Prisoner reruns. I'm
expecting to see Rover bouncing down the street any day now.
Bathroom repair has finally begun. Words can't express how pleased I am. We had
to do some cleaning so they could get in here, which should make it easier to do
more once they're done. The cats are staying at a friend's house while the work
of construction continues. Speaking of which...
Kitty had three seizures last week, happening every other day. They still last
under a minute, affecting the right side of his body more than the left;
sometimes he's completely out of it, and sometimes he seems to maintain some
level of awareness, as well as muscle control on the left side -- I try to hold
him still when they happen so he doesn't hurt himself. One more vet visit with
blood work, and if that still doesn't show anything they can do something
about, I'm switching him to a
hypoallergenic diet with digestive enzymes.
(Tranquilizers would be just as expensive, and if he ever missed a dose the
seizures would likely return worse than ever.)
Also, my hard drive that can't be more than a year old is slowly dying. I've
managed to get everything off of it that I care about, and am limping along with
frequent crashes until an opportunity to replace it comes along. I've got a
slightly smaller drive I can throw in, and a Ghost backup of my installed OS,
so I should just need to reinstall a small handful of programs.
