Had strange dreams last night. Dreamt that
strangerface,
fearthainn and
chickadilly dropped by as they were on a road trip through my strange, 50s-esque reality. Emily was as funny and snarky as I imagine her to be in real life. Lea and Courtenay giddy and reserved, respectively. For some reason, before they arrived, Honeybunch insisted on having sex in the fountain in the center of town. Of course I wasn't saying no, but man, is that weird or what?!
We noticed the smell first off - that icky infection smell. Omar was very lethargic, not eating and had a blister on his nose. Since he has kidney problems (he ate half of an ibuprofen tablet three years ago), we didn't wait to take him to the vet. Good thing we did, since he was all messed up. Fever, pus-filled blister on his nose. His gums were blistered; when the vet pulled his lip down, blood started seeping from the gumline. *cries* Half of his tongue was burned to nothingness, no barbs or anything. At this point I'm on the edge of hysteria since I can't think of one thing he could have gotten into to make him so ill. I just thought maybe our new kitten had given him cat scratch fever or something. We still have no clue as to what he could have gotten into; our house is animal-proof as far as chemicals are concerned. No wires are exposed and Little Kitty is fine. Right now Omar is very tired and his nose is still irritated, but he's had a course of amoxicillin and is eating regular food again. Whew. It could have been much worse.
Have finally filled all the slots in my department. Woo-hoo for finally finding good employees. I'll also have three men, one of which is not white (he's from Turkey)! Woo-hoo for diversity as well! Now things can assume some sort of normalcy. But then it's onto annual reviews *shivers*
Oh, and the birthday drabble I wrote for
redblaze is here.
That's all. Very gentle squeezes to
nmalfoy and *hugs* to everyone else!
(I was going to post a mini-rant about working out with the gym rats, but will save it until I'm frustrated instead of happily slimming down.)
