Happy Easter

[cornerofmadness]

My Easter was relatively quiet. Rocket is hurting again (I'm beginning to wonder if he has lyme's disease/arthritis) The power went out while baking my ricotta pie. Spoke to the parents. One berated me for writing instead of cleaning and the other raced off to look stuff up to prove me wrong. Sigh.

So I'm in no mood for the Writerly Ways but I'll get the links up now and save my commentary for next week.

Happy Easter to you, too! Poor Rocket, though - I hope it's not as bad as you fear, although he likely has a "good" chance to get arthritis, I suppose.

One berated me for writing instead of cleaning and the other raced off to look stuff up to prove me wrong. Sigh.
*rolls eyes* Of course writing is always more important than cleaning! *hugs* Nobody on their deathbead ever thought "dang I wish I'd cleaned more in my life" or so. ;op

THanks

Sadly Rocket has another abscess

Mom is constantly on me to clean

[suzume]

Happy Easter to you as well!

I feel sorry for Rocket though. I sincerely hope it's only arthritis.

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks. Whatever is going on his foot swells a lot. I'm going to call the vet and this time no squeezing him in. I want to TALK to her

[suzume]

Sounds like you should.

[cornerofmadness]

he went today

[suzume]

Hmm, I see (having read your post of the day prior to this).

[cornerofmadness]

He seems mildly improved but it could still go either way with his issues

[suzume]

Hmm, well I hope it goes better for him.

[cornerofmadness]

so far zero improvement but it's only day 3

[suzume]

I want to yell "faito!*" for him.

*obviously 'faito' = 'fight'

[cornerofmadness]

THanks. here's hoping
