she should be here now but she isn't
Lisa suggested I name the cat "Brind'Amour." I rather liked that -- as you know, I am enamored of the name -- but it seems kind of heavy for a cat. So I think "Oreo" will remain the moniker of choice, but Stanley could be a decent middle name, even if it is a girl cat, you know?

And then I found a vet who talked hockey with me 10 minutes after I met her, so that was that.

Thinking about Houston often makes me bitter, because the job I should have gotten went to someone else, and also, nepotism is alive and well, and then the person who got the job I was supposed to have left, and then the intern got her old job, and of course now that I am out of the loop and out of the state, I wouldn't have even had a chance. Which sucks and makes me bitter. (Not that it takes much...heh.) I mean, not like I want that job anymore, anyway.
