Got it scheduled (finally) for the day before Thanksgiving but then it decided to Freak Out™ so I've been in the ER for >5 hours just to be sure I won't need the eviction to be rushed

the Surgeon Scheduler never called me like they should have and when I called yesterday and left a message, they never returned it
Gonna be calling first thing on Monday if they don't call first, gallbladder pain is starting to become way too frequent for my liking

shout out to my cat who, after I had to pull a strip of plastic out that he was choking on, tried to eat another strip he found 10 minutes later
we still have no idea where he gets them from

Doodle of an orange cat with a piece of crumpled plastic in his mouth. He is running away quickly, wide-eyed. There is text from someone shouting "WHO IS EATING PLASTIC!!!"

Toledo Zoo Discovers Tasmanian Devils That Glow

A conservation technician at the Toledo Zoo recently discovered the Tasmanian Devils had biofluorescent ears, eyes and snout. It's not exactly clear what purpose the trait serves in mammals.

Gomez looks like my boy, Pit!
Hard to see on camera, but he actually has snowflake vitiligo!
We thought it was just a fever coat until it started growing - and seeing it was affecting his skin.
Hard to say it's what Gomez has now, but he's not alone in being that handsome!

A picture of my cat, Pit, curled up on my lap.

Still waiting to schedule my gallbladder eviction - and they sent the offer even after I let them know it may affect my start date!
Sounds too like they even made the role for me? God, I hope this lives up to the hype I have built up during all this.
I'm anxious and excited.

Spent today doing onboarding documentation and preliminary trainings. Still feels surreal that they hired me.
Still waiting for more NDA stuff to come in, so can't reveal who it is yet to the masses. Kinda poetic I got the offer on the anniversary of the first day of my last my job.

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

I am so very sorry. He was extremely loved and will be extremely missed.
Take all the time you guys need to grieve - I know firsthand how heavy this is.
Sending my love and condolences to you guys.
