News du jour

•  The cat is back home; the vet pulled 9 teeth and said he should go see an actual kitty dentist after he's healed up in 6-8 months.   She (the vet) said grimly that the teeth came out really easily, that for most of them there was hardly any root.   He's home, has performed the appropriate digestive functions, and is getting syringed morphine as needed and purring a lot.
• Husband found and lit the pilot light on the oven.  Cancelled repair visit, hurray!
• Comcast Internet keeps crashing, so scheduled a new repair visit for Sundahy, boo.
• The World Cup announcer just shouted "They got it right!  They got it right! YAAAY".  He was responding to the ref's allowing the third of Mexico's goals, the first two of which were incorrectly called.
• My reaction to the World Cup remains "pretty -- sometimes soggy --guys running around a lot".  I feel this is sufficient to have an informed opinion.

Net:  Number of repair visits constant, cat -9 teeth but + general mood.
What I am doing for the rest of today: NOTH (okay, dropping daughter at BART) ING.

Edit:  commentator "I think that Mexico realizes that having the ball is critical just now."  Good to know, good to know.

"I think that Mexico realizes that having the ball is critical just now."

I am now snickering like hell in the pharmacy wait area and the techs are giving me funny looks.

I would purr if I was full of morphine, too....

Glad to hear the cat is back home, though lack of nine teeth is worrying. Poor kitty!

He has a very bad case of reabsorption, and the only treatment is to pull affected teeth once there's inflammation. Unfortunately, he has several other teeth that are nearly as bad.

Oh, poor kitty! Give him cuddles from me.

FWIW, all three of mine are currently on liquid medications; it just becomes part of the evening routine. They're also being bribed with soft treats right after.

World Cup involves interesting strategy which I am not at a stage in life to be able to grasp yet. I don't think I'll get there this time, which is fine, I can enjoy the pretty.
