Egads... tired... gah.

Today was a looooooooooooooong day.

Brought the car to the parental units, went to band practice. Started work on the new Soopar Seekrit Prodjikt while having tea with [livejournal.com profile] toughlovemuse and [livejournal.com profile] luvenditti. Had a latent-ish migraine all day, which didn't help.

Tea was lovely, until poor Jake, [livejournal.com profile] toughlovemuse's elderly Russian blue cat, got quite ill under our noses. An hour later, maybe even less than that, we were all (that is me, [livejournal.com profile] luvenditti, [livejournal.com profile] toughlovemuse and [livejournal.com profile] chibipunkdemon) at the all-night emergency vet's with the kitty in tow (kitty was *not* happy about being in the carrier), waiting to see a vet. [livejournal.com profile] luvenditti and I went in search of food, and we spent the next five hours or so in the waiting room.

It took four hours before Jake got in to see the vet. [livejournal.com profile] luvenditti lucked out by finding a deck of cards lying on a table, so we whiled away the hours chatting about bad movies and playing Crazy Eights and Gin Rummy. We played one game of "Go Fish" which [livejournal.com profile] chibipunkdemon won after two rounds. We decided Go Fish wasn't as fun now as when we were seven years old, and went back to Crazy Eights.

Jake is spending the night at the vet's, so that they can get some fluids in him and run some tests.

To the people on my flist who do that sort of thing: I think lighting a candle/thinking good thoughts/saying a prayer for Jake would be very appreciated. He's a good cat. :)


I'm going to bed now. Long, long day.

Hey Phnee! had a cat for 16 years, and even though I no longer can be near animals too long (beacause of severe allergies) I still love the feline little critters terribly. I am sending good vibes Jake's way for his recovery!

Aw hell...

...we're rooting for Jake. He's a good guy and remarkably spry for his advanced years.

Poor Jake.

A candle is lit.

Good thoughts for Jake on the way.

Good thoughts for Jake are on the way.

I hate when a furry critter gets ill. I worry about my own kitties.

What all night vet did you guys go to? (For future reference for me)
