And now, I must be off.  Today and tomorrow are going to be long days.  Today after work, my friend Margo and I are going to see a free, outdoor production of The Tempest.  I ran the sound board for a different local production a few years ago, so I'm somewhat familiar with the show.  I'm sure it'll be good...and there's no rain in the forecast!

Tomorrow at the Washington Center, there will be a free reading of the entire (redacted) MUELLER REPORT (https://www.washingtoncenter.org/event/19-08-24-mueller-report/) in two parts, with a half hour break in between the two parts.  Margo and I will actually go to see the first part as patrons, and then usher for the secod part.  The whole event starts at 1:00 pm, and is scheduled to go until 9:00 pm!

Patrol was weird this morning.  Annabelle was deliberately contrary.  She wanted to go out, she wanted to ride the elevator until it arrived, she went to the basement with me and went through her usual terrified act until the elevator arrived. Then she refused to board and decided to explore.  She pulled the same on the first floor and I chased her to the second where she lounged on the linoleum until a tenant above us loudly closed their doo and spooked her.  She ran to the elevator and waited till it arrived before she decided she really wanted to explore the second floor and I had to drag her home.  She's back to her old self.

Rex was going in every other day for fluids last summer. He got so they couldn't work with him because he was so angry. We jointly decided to stop and let him live as long as he lives. They may require me to take him in soon, since it has been about a year since he was in. We didn't expect him to live this long.

In another side of the crazy life of cats, Thatch is being exceptionally clingy and wanting attention this afternoon.  It's complicated because he's so timid and jumpy about being held that he runs away if he sees more than one hand approaching him.  So, he'll let me pet him and brush him if only one hand is involved, he'll curl up and sleep next to me or walk all over my work table as long as I make no attempt to hold him.

Given where we were when he moved in, this is a miracle!

Post by: ChasSmith on August 23, 2019, 11:33:22 AM
Because Poe changed over the years from enjoying to hating his trips to the vet, he’s now routinely prescribed a “Calm Kitty” kit when an exam is scheduled.

It consists of — (1) um, I forget, but it’s something in a capsule that we mix into his food once a day for a week, (2) one Gabapentin pill we pulverize and mix in the morning of, and (3) a wipe-down of the interior of his carrier with a pheromone solution.

The potent thing is the Gabapentin which leaves him loopy the rest of the day, but it makes the exam doable. The vet’s standard prescription for that is two pills (one the night before), but when I reported that the two had left him WAY too loopy and off balance, they reduced it.

One of my niece's cats has to have fluids every other day.  My niece has learned how to inject the cat herself (with another person holding the cat) and they both (niece and cat) have adjusted to the process.  Is it possible for you to do that yourself (with the help of another person), Laura?  The fluids are quite inexpensive and not having to go to the vet every other day saves money there, too.  Just a thought.

I recall discussing this when Rex went on fluids.  DR Laura do I remember correctly that he is a difficult cat to give the fluids?  DR Ron was very helpful when we had to learn to do this for Bogie.

Friday afternoon greetings!  Richard and I went to Hamilton today for a lecture and lunch at High Street Cafe, one of our favorite places.  We then went to visit the historic monument on the site of the original Fort Hamilton, where neither of us had ever been.  The interior walls are inscribed with veterans’ names, Revolution through the Spanish-American War.  The first list, though, is early Butler County pioneers and it includes my great, great, great, great grandfather, Ephriam Tucker.  Pretty cool, huh?

By this afternoon putting on my shoes was very uncomfortable.  I did fine on our walk breathing into the pain, except for the little hills.  Going up those hurt more.

Well, I'm off.  It turns out that I need to run a few errands and won't have time before the show starts tonight, so I'm leaving work now.

Be back later.

When we were going to the vet every other day, they were very good to us. They charged us for the fluids and did the installation (?) at no cost. I took a lot of sweets to them. But he got too hard to work with. That's a real shame, because Rex really is a nice friendly cat.

Now Joshie --  he was a real terror at the vet.

I had the intention of trying the Popeye's chicken sandwich.  As I suspected, however, the place, which is NEVER crowded, had a line out the door, all to try the new chicken sandwich, their answer to Chick-Fil-A.  It's like these people, who NEVER would be caught dead in Popeyes's, now MUST be there for this trendy thing so they can post about it.  I hate these morons, seriously.  It's Popeye's chicken on a bun with pickles.  Oh, but they've never had Popeye's, that's right.  I guess we'll have to endure this for another few weeks, after which the morons will be on to the next thing.

Well, I did it.  A three-mile jog.  Got through it just fine.  Tough going the first block or two then I just let my mind relax and go with the flow.  First jog in a year, I think.

Actually, we can say it's Popeye's chicken on a bun with pickles as if that's nothing special, but in my 20s or 30s or even 40s, it would be even more tasty for having had to stand on a line for it. 

At least you're sure it's fresh.  When a place like Popeyes or Wendys is empty, you;'re too often getting the sandwich that's been sitting there for two hours.

"KFC" now supposedly stands for "Kitchen Fresh Chicken." I think  that just means it was Fresh at some point that day.

I'm finding more and more the truth in the Rita Rudner line where she claims her husband tells her there's a reason they say don't shoot the messenger, and that's because they ALWAYS shoot the messenger.  (I guess the idiom is  there  because for most people, the problem doesn't exist until the "messenger" tells them about the problem.)
