Sick Days

Last night I went to Jac's -- he's got the measles -- apparently due to something having to do with an "autism scare" related to the vaccine which lasted for about a decade and so many were not vaccinated with MMR (Measels, Mumps and Rubella) and the booster. But me, I was vaccinated and boostered to boot within the first year of my life and so now can address my nursing duties worry-free.

I left him (Jac) there (home) this morning. He keeps changing color. When I left he has just changed from green to pinkish-blue. I didn't want to leave but i've got work and I don't think that "my boyfriend is sick" is going to get me a paid sick day. No matter how long my boss and boy have known each other (15 years).

But now Flip is taking care of him.

Flip is great -- but he's a scrawny little thing and he's probably not eating half of what he should at his age and i'm not sure what exactly to do about it. We're bringing him to the vet soon as Jac gets better. He's got most of the signs of a good healthy kitty except for the ultra-scrawnyness -- which, since Flip's mom is a bit scrawny herself -- I hope is just normal.
