Rainbow Nightmares
Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain...

We just spend a hellish couple of hours with the dogs huddled in my mother's room waiting to get into the bathroom because of tornado warnings all around. A funnel cloud was sighted a county over, but not here, thankfully. It skated past us.

I hate that feeling of helplessness. On top of that, Neil had gone out with my brother, so Mom and I were alone, trying to figure out how we'd protect the dogs as well as ourselves, and wondering what they'd have to drive through to get back.

It seems to have passed now, and Neil got home. I went out to watch the storm, slipped on the steps, and have a giant bruise on my ass cheek. The lightning was pretty, but it's pretty small consolation.

Today without Spike was awful. But thunder used to scare him so badly, and he didn't have to sit through it.

Feeling: still scared

Goodbye
Spikey died.

The vet told us that he had suffered a major stroke and possibly had another one this morning. His eyes were moving side to side non stop, and he would no longer walk.

We came in and we held him while they gave him a large dose of anesthetic. He slipped away very quickly. We said goodbye.

It hurts terribly.

Yesterday, Spike started acting strangely. He would walk in circles, and his eyes would move side-to-side rapidly. And he would fall. And he puked a couple of times.

We thought he just had a spell, and it went away for the night, so we left in the morning to help out on the campaign. He had another spell this morning, but it went away again. Then it happened again about midday, so we left the campaign and took him for an emergency vet appointment.

The possibilities stand thusly: tumor on the brain stem, stroke, severe inner ear infection, meningitis. None are necessarily a death sentence, but we're hoping for the ear infection as it's the least disastrous.

I'm fucking terrified. We had to leave him at the vet's office overnight on an IV and steroids.

My poor baby boy

Feeling: sick

I voted! Then we went by the county Obama office. I gave them money, bought a yard sign and a bumper sticker. And then Neil and I signed up to help them canvass and make phone calls. I'm really excited about it.

Feeling: cheerful

My grandmother qualified for a loan and made an offer on the house we wanted. If accepted, she'll be renting it to us. We're getting a house, y'all.

Feeling: ecstatic

Oh, I never wanted to see Hillary Clinton implode like this. Poor woman.

So I plucked up the courage to be really nerdy and send James May a message on his eBay account telling him I'm a huge fan and that I hope his rowing machine goes for loads.

Does that make me crazy-stalkery, or just delightfully eccentric?

Feeling: nervous

O F-list, will you vote for Lucy? You have to give your email, sorry.

Please? I'll give you the Doctor!

I really want to go home.

I work for a catalog company that mainly sells underwear. Today I get a lady who is offended that we sent her a catalog with a woman on the front in a bra.

Feeling: wtf

Icon dump. Credit is sweet of you, but not necessary. Comments are cherished. I have a fresh shedload of Doctor Who icons; so many that I'll be posting them by incarnation, rather than just one big blob :)
