OK I will comply with Richard's rules of Thursdays, although I know there really are no rules here, just a good place to peek in for some upliftment (is that a word?) It's been a ROUGH week; everyone I know is having a hard time at work (including me) - must be the fall equinox or the planets are misalligned, or we could just blame it on George Bush or global warming. I keep telling myself, this too shall pass.

Mishi went to the vets for a follow-up ultrasound on Tuesday. No change in his kidneys although they did see the beginnings of a bladder stone, so the vet is changing his diet to Science Diet XD (instead of the KD he's been on). He's also lost about half a pound, they think - he was so rambunctious at the vet's office that they had a hard time getting him to sit still to get an accurate weight on him. He now has a rep at the vet .... poor guy. I still love my big goon, even though he is expen$ive to keep around. .... Except for his shaved belly, he seems fine to me and he likes the new food.

So, before the attorneys come in from court and start beating me up again, I'll have some whipped cream on a cuppa.

Now to get back to the brief .... groan. Is it Friday yet, anywhere on the planet?
