Well, you've read the notes, the notes were real and told a story, and now it is time for you to post until the real cows come home.

And the word of the day is: ARBOREAL!

Good morning! Good early morning!

First after BK.

Why am I up, even before the East Coast posters?

TCB · « **Reply #5 on:** October 07, 2014, 03:43:19 AM »

Well, I shall tell you.

We have had a minor crisis here at Animal General Hospital.

About an hour ago, Nicky woke me up with very loud yowling. Nick is usually a very quiet fellow, so this was most unusual. At first I thought that there might be another cat on the balcony. When that proved to be wrong, then crisis mode began. First we had a chase from room to room, not easy when one of us is in a wheelchair (and I don't mean Nicky).

Finally, I managed to catch up with him. How can I say this delicately? Nicky had a rather large piece of poop stuck up his rear end. Now I had already found a rather large chunk of poop that he had managed to dislodge outside of the litter box. Normally, when I can catch him, I just have to pull on it and it comes free. Not ~~tonight~~ this morning. I would try to work it loose, Nick would yowl and squirm free, and then the chase was on again. I can only wonder how many complaints the Humane Society will receive about the handicapped guy abusing the kitty in Apartment 19. Finally, after numerous attempts I managed to free the (hopefully) last piece.

Now I am waiting to make sure that the problem is solved. Nick is now cuddled up with me and has fallen asleep, so I think we are fine.

Good morning, all!

The Curse of the Constipated Kitty by Earl Stanley Gardner sounds like something our DR MBarnum would own in its original tawdry and lurid paperback cover.

I will be beyond help today: I was wide awake most of the night after falling asleep around 10:00pm and waking around 12:30am. I've got Time Warner cable guys arriving around 9:00 to set up my new modem, so I'm bathed, dressed and waiting. But noon, I will most likely be in a near-vegetable state and not worth a damn.

Vibes of all kind to TCB and Nicky.

Hoping you get a nap to refresh yourself, Larry!

FJL · « **Reply #13 on:** October 07, 2014, 05:06:11 AM »

I do promise to make a valiant attempt at ketching up, once busy time ends.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #14 on:** October 07, 2014, 05:09:47 AM »

Good morning, all.

Weird night here, too. Slept fine, when I slept -- but I'd stayed up way too late, not even turning off the light till 2:00 AM, so when I found myself waking at 7:00 AM, I was not exactly feeling fit as a fiddle. Or even so much as a lousy ukulele. I have a busy day ahead of me, but will certainly welcome a nap at some point.

Coffee!

Vibes to DR TCB and DC Nicky. I went through a period of chronic constipation with a former DC, and I know all too well how alarming it is. This necessitated a few trips to the vet for DC enemas and such. After some trial and error, we finally got him maintained pretty well on Lactulose -- a spoonful in one meal per day, or maybe it was every meal, I don't remember now. But that stuff works.

Kerry · « **Reply #16 on:** October 07, 2014, 05:31:22 AM »

Major vibes to everybody. For everything!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #17 on:** October 07, 2014, 05:40:41 AM »

Major Vibes plays a critical role in my long-awaited prequel to Joseph Heller's Catch-22.

Poor DR TCB and Nicky!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One reason I was wide awake so late was that my plans for listening to AND THE WORLD GOES ROUND had to be moved farther up into the evening.

I listened to the radio show first for some ketchup since I wasn't intimately familiar with the revue itself, then took my laptop downstairs so I could hear the CD on the Big Speakers while following the PDF score I'd grabbed a few months ago. Had to suffer a few interruptions along the way, but it was most enjoyable, and I even managed to put a li'l revue review up on Amazon before calling it a night.

DR Laura, Wae-ling must have been so excited!

Good morning, all.

Vibes for Nicky and TCB.

Tuesday morning greetings! I'll be E & T a bit today because I'm going to Dayton for lunch with my grantwriter friends. I haven't been to their meeting since May, so it will be nice to catch up with them.

TOD:

All of my supervisors at the last newspaper I worked for deserved to have had some sort of physical torture visited upon them for the mental and ethical anguish they caused to their staff. I had 10 years of their nonsense. Thank God it's over and the layoff came 1 month after I was fully vested.

Ginny · « **Reply #24 on:** October 07, 2014, 06:22:32 AM »

Hope DR TCB and Nicky are resting comfortably now...

TOD:

When we were rehearsing the original production of LOMBARD back in the early '90s, the director decided that she wanted to do a major rewrite of my first act. Unfortunately, the show's producer was her husband, so he backed her vision. I told them that I would not allow them to open the play unless they used my version, but they stood firm. So, the night before we were to open, I pulled the plug.

The play opened a month or so later (on the 50th anniversary of Carole Lombard's death), under my direction, and we got terrific press coverage and excellent reviews. We also played to full houses every night.

Glad to hear that Nicky seems to be OK. ~ ~ ~ VIBES ~ ~ ~ that all continues to be well.

TOD: I have had a number of good bosses and a number of bad ones over the years. The worst one caused me great mental and physical anguish, to the point where something really had to change. Fortunately, it was a large enough company that I had options, and was able to transfer to another department.

a lousy ukulele

Is there any other kind?

Let's get this show on the road...
