…hurting, I presume.
Lube, I believe. LOTS of lube.
How I deal with noisy upstairs neighbors
(who seem to have spawned a noisy, stomping and screaming rugrat).
I put on my Broadway list on iTunes (loudly) and warm up to such delights as Les Mis, Rent, Phantom of the Opera, Anything Goes, Guys and Dolls, etc.
And as I am dreadfully out of practice, I am off key and have a lovely howling quality to my voice of late.
GFY
They didn’t acknowledge a lot of legislation that California does so I really don’t think it is a matter of them really worrying about their recognizing the marriages…its the fact that the religious people who have been ignoring the whole “separation of church and state” thing are finally having to acknowledge that “traditional marriage” means “marriage defined by a religion” and not a union between two people.
Ten states urge Calif. court to delay marriage ruling
Friday, May 30, 2008
(05-30) 10:48 PDT San Francisco, CA (AP) –The attorneys general of 10 states are urging the California Supreme Court to delay finalizing its ruling to legalize same-sex marriage.
The states involved are Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.
The attorneys general say they have an interest in the case because they would have to determine if their states would recognize the marriage of gay residents who wed in California. They want the court to stay its ruling until after the November election, when voters likely will decide whether to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage.
California Attorney General Jerry Brown, whose office originally argued to uphold the state’s one man-one woman marriage laws, is urging the Supreme Court not to grant the stay.
Gas Prices
I’ve been seeing article after article about companies who either allow their workers to stay at home one day (or more to telecommute) or give gas subsidies to keep their valued workers who can’t afford to pay $4.15 per gallon for a 70 mile a day round trip commute to work…
but I know of one specific company that has, as of June 2, canceled all work at home days. No more telecommuting.
Such timing.

The Daily Bun: Stretching her legs after a vet visit
Bunny went back to the vet for her 7-10 day from release checkup and the vet was very pleased with her looks and response.
She has gained almost a pound back, she is alert and it is evident that she is feeling better (in looks, behavior and movement.). So, he said even if her blood readings aren’t necessarily infinitely improved (even if she slipped a little) that just means we can tweak her treatment. I think he was most pleased that she was improving visibly daily and eating that nasty excuse for cat food they call a renal failure prescription diet (well, mostly eating it).
Frankly, I was afraid of hoping too much but when he casually handed me a prescription for the food good for the next *year* and said order as much as I want, it helped a bit (also good to hear, but not as pleasant was that I could get a case at a time of Ringer’s Lactate for her sub-q nightly fluids so I wouldn’t have to go to the vet all the time. Sigh. I’ll take my little victories where I can get them.)
Here’s Bunny in the car after the vet (I was letting her calm down and move around for a bit before we made the long trip back to the house.)
The Daily Bun
As much as it kills me to have to poke holes in my cat (and last night was particularly unpleasant, I think the needle was flawed and she jumped when I put it in… then used another needle in the end-it was just too uncomfortable) I know… I KNOW it helps her. I can see it.
And maybe someday I won’t burst into tears when she doesn’t seem to be feeling too well thinking that she is about to slide into that final crash… but then again, probably not.
Also canceled my vacation planned in early July. It just wasn’t important enough to me to go. Sorry, you’ll just have to keep reading about my cat for now.
I need to turn her bed…
all I see are little ears.
The Daily Bun: Turducken only, please
She’s eating about a can of cat food a day and now she’s in love with Merrick Turducken cat food (low phosphorus) and some of the vet kidney failure food doesn’t seem to work well with her stomach. But, she’s moving without weakness and only stressing about me regularly turning her into a
kitty cat shaped water balloon each night.
I had to really rush out the door to distract myself and to not get crazed about leaving her alone this morning, but after such a good weekend, I suppose I was a little calmer.
The Daily Bun
Still eating a lot.
Giving her subq fluids was a bit of work last night… either I didn’t do it well and it was uncomfortable for her or she is so fluid filled that it was just uncomfy for her to get any more.
In any case, she is moving around well (no weakness I can see but I am also keeping her from wearing herself out), eating, talking to me, fussing at me, trying to get onto the kitchen table to lick the little smokies I was having for breakfast and generally waking me up at 7am every day.
I’m sleeping as much as she is, and we’ll see how I handle being away from her for more than 20 minutes at work tomorrow.
I don’t know that I will do well (though she’ll probably be happy to not have me snoring.)
Bun to date
She is doing well.
-Eating every hour (even that shite some manufacturers allege is food for renal failure cats…)
-Has eaten the aluminum hydroxide to bind phosphorus in her food every 12 hours (whaddaya know, it actually is tasteless as they claim)
-Tolerates me poking her with an 18 gauge needle and turning her into a kitty water balloon (didn’t like it when i got Ringer’s Lactate all over her… oops. Sorry Bun.)
-Took her Pepcid (squashed up in cat food-definitely is NOT tasteless.)
-Even drinking up the bicarbonate of soda I mix around in her food.
In short, she seems to be moving along.
Purring and talking, sitting on me and yelling at me to feed her all night long (so I’m not getting much sleep BUT WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT ME. I don’t.) Though I did take about 3 two hour naps today in between cat maintenance. I thought it might be depression and then I counted up the number of hours sleep I have had this week and thought otherwise.
…oh and I ate, too today. Even showered. (Both were going on 3 days without; she probably was yelling about me not the food. Hmmm.)
Pictures anon.
and thanks Kramer, wlyb?
MICRA flower color version.(marimekko design)
OK. I would drive this.
I think the only time…
I am *any* sort of calm (i.e. not having heart palpitations/panic attacks, not feeling nauseated, not actively crying-or any combo of those) is when she is eating.
I don’t want to get too hopeful about her but I also am not giving up on her (and am not spending every minute of being with her crying and freaking her out, not at all). But anyone who knows me knows that if you aren’t realistic with me, I don’t handle that betrayal well. And “betrayal” is exactly how I think of it when I am led to hope when there is little to none.
This last week has probably got DSM-IV written all over it for me.
Poor cat, I don’t think she can eat enough to take care of me 24/7. (though she is giving it a go…lots of food.)
edit: see?
The Daily Bun:Looking at her bowl askance
Doesn’t quite know what to make of me attempting to disguise the flavor of Pepcid AC in cat food.
The Daily Bun: At home and eating…a lot.
She’s home as of last night.
Diagnosis, stage IV renal failure. We’re on a maintenance course from now on.
I’m just happy to have her.
She’s super happy to be home.
Dear American and United,
If you want to know why you suck and are doing badly, perhaps you should look at what Southwest is doing right and you aren’t…
namely having their flights take off and land at about the time that is promised.
Frankly I gave up on you for exactly that reason.
love and kisses,
fredlet
