Quote of the day:



Traffic while driving into the office this morning was extremely light.   It always is  lighter on Fridays these days, for the most part, as anyone working a hybrid schedule prefers to work from home on Fridays, but today was unusual.  Seems the county's schools are closed to day for a "teacher professional day" as the third term exams are graded and report cards are drawn up.  Puts me in mind of just how anxious every kid is to grow up and get out of school, because when we are grown up, no one is going to make us do anything we don't want to do....

*looks around the empty office*  Yeah, like coming into the office when I am the only one here because we have to maintain the culture and demonstrate commitment to the company.  *sighs*  Oh well,  I have the music cranked up and I dressed a bit more casually than usual

And the best night of the week starts soon!  All hail Friday nights, when the entire weekend stretches before me....

day 65 - Panda

Today is the 2nd day of the 10th week, the 6th day of the 3rd month, the 65th day of 2023 Last year it was a Sunday, and it was miserable.  My poor little Panda had been very ill - problems with eating and eliminating had resulted in her losing over half her weight in just three months.   I kept taking her back and we kept trying different things - even putting her thru the RadioCat operation he previous month so that she could go off the y/d diet.   Nothing seemed to help, and Panda had gotten what the vet called a "kitty cocktail" shot on Friday afternoon, a Hail Mary  concoction of antibiotics [in case there is an intestinal infection], steroids [in case of inflammation], hydration, soothers, and an appetite stimulant.    She was okay on Saturday, enjoyed her sunbeam and even ate a bit - but that night the drugs wore off and we had a very bad night indeed as she was obviously in pain, and kept retreating to her hidey hole under the secretary....
