A thank you post

[smokingboot]

to everybody who commented on my previous post, sending best wishes/thoughts/vibes for our poor little cat, Ralik. You really lifted my spirits at a difficult time. I am very fortunate to have such kind friends.

The divvilcat (quoted by the vets as 'a bit grumpy' and 'issuing threats') is doing well, though he managed to remove his catheter, meaning yet more time sedated while they put it back in,and more days under observation *sigh* see that bill grow!

More thanks to evilwillow, cyanidemigraine and deadmandancing for saving me from the week of the long mope. The former two kept me company on Wednesday night, when I was surely the most dismal hostess ever, but they were very patient with me.

Then came Thursday, and my first attempt at salsa classes with deadmandancing. It was a hoot; I was a bit awed by deadmandancing's snakey hips and natural rhythm, but we had a very good teacher and a great time, followed by more dim sum than I could eat in a week! At cyanidemigraine's suggestion, we met him down at Jilly's where we discovered that the music on Thursday is much better than that on Friday and Saturday; it's less crowded, though admittedly most of the people there looked like they might be struggling with their 11+. But there was room to move, I was chatted up, admired, compared to Sally from A Nightmare Before Christmas, and my shallow self was pleased.

Much midnight chatting and folly occurred, Thursday became Friday, and disappeared in a blur of recovery and work. Now, larians is home. All I need is my little cat back and well, and I will be as right as rain.


Aamzing how good friends can make everything feel OK. Cheers!
