Friday, I got the news that Miss Kedgie Princess was most definitely hyperthyroid, and so I picked up the meds for herself. A half-tablet twice daily for the next two weeks, then a recheck blood test and body weight, and we should be able to find out whether she'll be healthy enough for radio-iodine treatment. At least these pills are tiny and tasteless, so I can stick it into her feed without any worries; she consumes the meds and doesn't hate me forever. This is a win-win.

After that, I zoomed out to my FG's place for the weekend. Fabulous stuff occurred, a car seat check station happened, in a town close to her place, after which we drove back to my place for the Caring of the Animals, and then a quick jaunt into VA for some bowling with a friend of mine. We bowled, Friend A won both games; I came in second for one and third for the other (too many frames in which I bowled zero...). On our way out, I managed to drive in the opposite direction from the one I intended to drive, but luckily for me, FG had just mentioned the other way to her place only to see the signs for that very highway. We took the new scenic route directly to her house. Sunday was a day of rest, and keep your minds out of the gutter. Yes, you.

A week ago Friday, one of my colleagues lost his son to a sudden death (at the age of 22, collapsed on the basketball court); the funeral was today, so I headed home last night -- well, ok, Very Early this morning. While I was getting ready for the funeral, I noticed that the cats were behaving quite nicely towards the kittens. Another win!

Just had a phone call from the Ex, about Son's missing cell phone -- he'd been telling me it was in his pants pocket, but now they think it dropped out of his pants when he was in my car last week, so I have to go check the car. It would be a little nicer if she'd remember to give him his afternoon meds before trying to have him focus on things -- he really needs the PM dosage or he gets argumentative and mis-focused. I could barely talk to her over his constant comments. Ugh. Now I'm irritated.

Well, these reports won't review themselves. Off to finish up work and head home.

Well, about half good and half bad. I hope the bad parts that can get better, do.

Yeah, me too. At least my FG will be joining me for the 8th Annual Suzanne Westenhoefer gig at the Birchmere, started after Ex's dad died (8 years ago now). I loved her little email to all her "friends", including me -- at the very bottom of her "To:" list. That was a nice touch, I thought. Well, the last laugh will be on her, as I'm bringing FG and perhaps two other friends.

You'll have to let us know how that goes!

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

I plan to! I wonder how it will all turn out...especially since FG has no qualms about holding my hand or even kissing me in public. Which I adore. LOL

Glad Kedgie will be so easy to medicate... I get the transdermal stuff for Gilley (she's also hyperthyroid).

Unfortunately, the vet I use doesn't like writing prescriptions for internet pharmacies because the meds might work differently then what they use. Need to try and explain to the vet that the $6/tube I can get it for online in bulk is infinitely affordable over the $11/tube they charge.

if he writes a specific prescription, they have to fill it with what he requests... Yeah, I'm glad she's not fussing about a tiny pill in her CAT FUD NOM NOM NOM. At least, for now..LOL

She's a bit paranoid because it's a compounded medicine, and since I buy from a different compounding pharmacy they they use, she's worried it will work differently. I've called around and found another vet in the area that doesn't fill those prescriptions in their office anyways, and don't care what pharmacy is used to fill the Rx. I just need to be able to afford to take the cat for a visit.

Ah, the fun and games of being a pet owner. ;-)

...car seat check station? She has little one(s)?

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

No, her daughter is now 26..I am a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician, and volunteer my time at various car seat checks in my county. Lots of fun, got me out of the house during those dark days, and I had the chance to meet women..although that didn't pan out... :-)
