A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

Amazing, some kind of long-legged-flying-thing was in the bathroom. In order to rescue it, I grabbed a transparent cup to capture it, telling it, it needed to fly into the cup. By the gods it certainly did. I covered the top, took it outside and it flew off! YAY!

Quick change of clothes and off to the Veterinarian for Essie. Teeth are fine. Temp is fine. A bit of diarrhea. Another antibiotic shot and antibiotic medicine for home. Flea treatment for all three. $100. Jeez.

Researched how in the hel to give a liquid cat medicine. It sure would be so much easier to do with someone else here to help. Such as it is, I have to give Essie her medicine myself. The last time I tried it, she clawed the hel out of me. I need to master a technique less stressful on both of us.
