State of the household

My allergies are finally abating, and I seem to be getting enough sleep modulo the fact that the flower_cat isn't sleeping well.

The Cat's arthritis is as bad as I've ever seen it. Aspirin still works, fortunately; she tried naproxin for a couple of days and found that, although it helped with the pain, it didn't help with the stiffness and joint inflamation. Apparently some of the better arthritis drugs either don't work, or interact badly with her other meds. She's using her walker to go between the front and back of the house; some of that is dizziness, which is apparently a side effect of the Keflex that she's taking the last dose of this morning. We'll see if that helps. Her leg is looking a lot better, but there may still be some lingering infection.

The chaoswolf has been in Seattle for a little over 12 hours now. Haven't heard from her. *waves*

The Y.D. is home for the summer, and appears to be keeping busy with friends and games. We'll need to make a serious effort to get her to clean her room; not clear what kind of persuasion we need to apply.

Sang "The River" and "Quiet Victories" for Colleen's friend B. Three sheets of Kleenex -- Eeep. I'm either going to have to add a more upbeat verse at the end, or abandon the idea of using it as a set closer; "Millennium's Dawn", perhaps. It was apropos, though; much of the evening's conversation revolved around successfully-fended-off assaults. There may be a verse in there. Especially B's story -- that was downright funny.

Turns out that "Millennium's Dawn" is jilara's favorite; she recognized it while I was noodling my way through the ConChord setlist, so of course I had to sing it. Hear me complain.

Thanks! She has an appointment with her doctor tomorrow; we'll see what we can do. Should be able to at least deal with some of the pain...
