“I haven’t seen Mike in a while…”
You know you’ve dropped off the radar when your girlfriend’s Nintendo DS asks where the fuck you are.
I could probably have stayed off the blog for another day or two, but then I saw this:
Cheers, Greg. Now I have to do something with bootstraps and pulling and all that crap.
Last week I had some crappy news from the grim cold North reach out and try and fuck with me and that came right on top of some really bad news about this little girl:
During a regular visit to the vet we found out that Sandwich is not as well as she seems. The poor thing has had a bunch of trips to the vet this week. She’s anaemic and has some odd fluid in her stomach which for a while was pointing to FIP. We’d just about got our head around that batch of nastiness when one of many bloodtests ruled that out. Now it’s looking more like Leukemia.
So that sucks.
Anyway, I pretty much powered down this whole past week and got next to nothing done. Now I’m ready to throw myself back into a lot of new stuff and catch up with the crap that slipped this week.
Right now though it’s back to the vet and then kill the evening in the pub. We have friends here from DC so will be camped out in The George for the rest of the evening…

Sorry to hear Sandwich isn’t too well… give the little gal and cuddle from me. Hope you guys are otherwise well.
Right back at you Mike, and also sad to hear about Sandwich.
Incidentally, subscribing to my blog might be really annoying, since I have a bad, bad habit of editing posts half a dozen times after I first publish them. So, um, sorry about that.
Sorry to hear about Sandwich, that’s terrible. My Black Jim went that way a coupla years back.
Say hello to that guy with the great hair(DC Mirenzi). Booked my ticket, keep next april free you talented bunch of super nice bastards you.
