A brief note before beginning the day...

I try to answer all comments on this journal, because it just seems polite. But after spending the night worrying about my sick cat, and spending the morning medicating her (which she hates), I honestly can't bring myself to answer individual comments on my post about her illness. It's just going to make me start crying again. So...

Thank you all, so very much, for your kind wishes and concern. Alice is still sick, but seems to be on the mend—she felt well enough to glare at me this morning when I hauled her out from under the couch and pumped her full of sticky pink antibiotic goo. Thomas and Lilly are confused and clingy, since they don't understand what's going on, and everyone is thrilled by the sudden wide availability of tuna.

Medicating Alice is easier than it could be, because she is seriously one of the world's most civilized cats; she mostly just squirms and scowls at me, like her infection is my fault, and not the fault of rapidly-replicating bacteria. I cannot explain epidemiology to my cat. I know. I've tried.

I'll keep you posted, and thank you again. I really appreciate it.

That was my thought. I'm always so tickled when this ultra-cool author responds to ME. But then I equate authors with rockstars. I'm weird like that:)

Same here!

I've actually remarked with amazement to my friends that you do this. I appreciate that it's polite, but I don't think that it's required, and times of stress are always times when a little of the polite can fade away.

Honestly I only reply to comments on my journal when I have something substantive to say, and I probably don't get the number of comments you had on that post in a year.

I figure it's the only really neat thing to do, given that, well. I'm trying to actually communicate with people, and I surely do spend a lot of time going "me me me me" on this journal.

Thank you for being awesome.
