Hello kitty, you will be missed.

The kitten has been acting like it's drunk for about a month. Taken to the vet and given a check-up. The vet...(who is fairly new at the job, just out of school) thinks it is a vitamin deficiently, and proscribes...stuff. "Feed her this, give her that, and put these in her ears twice a day."

A month later, no change. Actually, the kitten is looking more drunk, and less able to walk a straight line. So, on Tuesday morning, after watching her flop on the ground like a fish out of water for a couple of minutes, off to the vets office again. This time, we got the 35 year veteran veterinarian. He took a look into the kittens eyes, looked up and said... "She had Feline Distemper, either in fetus, or just after birth. It's messed up her nervous system and is making her unable to walk, or move correctly."

He then goes on to say something about Cerebral Holo-somethingorother...Translated into English, it means that her brain sends out a signal to her left leg, and her eyes blink. She is also in the stage where the pain is getting to her, as she mews loudly whenever she is moving.

Long story shortened, we are taking her to the vet, one last time. She won't be coming back. The roomie and I decided that we'd rather she not suffer any more pain than she already has.

Book games...

Not sure why I got asked to do this, but I'll try almost anything once.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions

Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest, then tag three people.

"Bil was petitioned by the skalds to sprinkle magic song-mead on them from the Moon. The Milky Way was known as Bil's Way, named after this girl who rides in the Moon chariot with Mani. The chariots of the Sun and Moon are eternally chased by two evil wolves, Giants in disguise."


The book is NORSE MAGIC by D.J. Conway. chapter is titled Myths and Deities

I'm supposed to pick three others to do this, but I have no idea who to choose, that hasn't already done it or been picked out already.

We're havin a heat wave...

What do you get when you walk a mile in 108 degree weather?

You get two shirts that you have to wring water out of. Which I literally have had to do for the last three days at work after walking a patrol. Step into the mens room, wring the sweat out, and run the shirts under the faucet to cool them down.

I had a couple of the workers give me funny looks, but they quickly faded when I put my tee-shirt back on and "Ahhh...ed" from it being comfy-cool. I may have started something.

The really funny part is when I am standing in front of the smaller of our two fans, trying to dry the shirts enough I don't go nuts from wearing wet clothes.
