OK, so I've decided where I'm landing. I'm gonna post my stuff on my own dang site, and crosspost to LostJournal.

There's an RSS feed at both locations, if'n you lean that way.

Finally.

Some people's kids, you know?

The first part of August was pretty sucky for us. Mai-lyn had been having a few days where she was not at all happy - not eating, not grooming, not, well, moving really. She got through that and seemed to be feeling a lot better, but the tumors on her belly were getting still bigger, and beginning to ulcerate. She wasn’t going to get better. It was only a matter of time, probably only months, before the cancer in her lungs killed her, and before that she’d have more and more bad days. I just didn’t want her to suffer. So, two weeks ago I let her go. Dammit, I put off posting about this because I knew it’d make me cry. Guess I didn’t wait long enough.

At the end of that week we got her ashes back, in a pretty cat shaped ceramic container. It’s really nice. Now I just need to find a safe place for her.

Naturally, at the same time Pandora seems to have developed IBD and decided to quit eating for a few days. This led to the beginnings of hepatic lipidosis, which almost required a feeding tube. Thankfully, after some subq fluids, and juggling some meds, she started eating again. She’s been eating like a little piglet, in fact, so now we have to make sure her diabetes doesn’t flare up again. Still, that’s much easier to deal with than a feeding tube.

As if that wasn’t enough, Max had to get in on the act with a sinus infection. He’s more forgiving than Mai-Lyn, so it was much easier to give him his meds.

Intent

So now, everyone seems pretty much fine (knock wood), although we still have to keep a close eye on Pandora. All I can say is they’d better be, because I start school next week, and I have spent more than enough time at the vets.

Among the “fun facts” listed on Discovery Health’s Web page devoted to the Duggars: Michelle, 40, has been pregnant for 126 months — or 10.5 years — of her life.

Erk. I think my tubes just tied themselves!

Possible LiveJournal refugee here. :) I'm not too happy with SixApart at the moment.

My choices are:


  • Stay at LJ through laziness and fear of losing what readership and/or community I have there
  • Move to GreatestJournal (I'm jenbooks there, too) - it has more word of mouth right now
  • Move here to InsaneJournal; could be fun
  • Actually use my very own wordpress blog - see first point of laziness and readership.
  • Some combination of the above


The funny thing is, yesterday was my sixth anniversary on LiveJournal. :)
