Tada, stories.

Babeh Kitteh had another seizure yesterday morning around five, but it's the first one he's had since we increased his medication back in late June, so that's something. Anyway, I called the vet (as I'm supposed to) to let them know, and then I went to work. When I got back, there was a message on my machine asking if I could bring Babeh Kitteh in to be weighed. A side-effect of phenobarbital is increased appetite, so they wanted to make sure he hadn't gained weight -- which could, logically, effect his medicine.

Long story short, Babeh Kitteh is the vet tech's golden boy, and he is better at maintaining his weight (10.4 lbs) than anyone else I know. And his meds are staying the same (for now).

I probably have more to say, but I can't think of anything. Honestly, I'm just exhausted. For no reason, really. I slept fine last night (and I even got back to sleep yesterday night, too, after Gus's seizure!) and I didn't stay up much later than usual, but I still had an incredibly difficult time dragging myself out of bed. I mean, difficult to the point where I considered calling in to work, which I never, ever do. My eyes actually ache from being open.

Maybe I'll duck out early today, go home, and take a nap. Y'know. Because there's nothing more important I could possibly be doing with my time. ;)

Oh no on Gus!! :( *hugs* I'm sorry to hear that he had another one, but like you said at least it's just the one.

Go home and have a nap - you've been working a lot and you know - sometimes it doesn't seem to matter how late you stay at work there will always be more...

I'd consider it if I weren't on a deadline, and if I didn't have a meeting this afternoon. *shakes fist*

It's so worrying when animals are ill. Good luck.

Now I'm going to check to see if you finished the remaining three stories.

It was just a seizure; no big. (It's a little disconcerting that I'm so used to them by now that all I do is time them, make sure he's okay, call the vet, and then go about my day/life as normal. It's better than losing my head every time it happens, I guess.) Since he's healthy about 95% of the time, I'm not going to let myself worry over it any more than I have to.

Also: seizure-free for over a week! Well done, Babeh Kitteh!

Regarding the stories... I did not. :)

I'm glad you're taking them in stride, as the vet indicated you should, and not freaking out. That's when it gets worrying.

Congrats on babeh kitteh maintaining his weight exactly! Our are (a) pains to weigh and (b) have had to have their dry cat food taken away almost entirely to get them to lose the weight they need to lose -- and we weren't letting them graze but were giving them limited amounts.

It's been awhile! I hope to have something for you to look at in a couple of weeks or so, although that may be overly optimistic.

As a warning, beta-wise, I'm going to be under very tight time crunches this month and next (NaNo, of course, is not helping). Anything that needs to meet a deadline should find its way in my inbox at least two weeks before that deadline, or I can't promise I'll get it back to you in time.

I figured as much. I will keep that in mind. The only deadline pressure is for 30_kisses, and as I indicated, that's more for the sake of my peace of mind and keeping the stories on track so I don't get horribly behind and stretch this out. I don't actually expect them to enforce the deadline.

Also, I expect whatever I give you to run somewhere between 1500 and 6000 words, depending on which of two prompts it winds up being and whether I can complete the one prompt that I've had trouble with to my satisfaction or decide to cut it back.
