Well, I'm back in real time again; there's always the (likely) chance that I will fall three days or more behind again tomorrow.
I'm sorry for cutting and running on PaD without explanation like that, and I guess I can't really promise that I won't again.
(If I can't be reliable, at least I'll attempt to be reliably unreliable.?)

Beau is doing a little better; there are some signs of his old self coming back.
Just to hear him purr again is incredible.

This is a picture of an eye I was doodling on my work notes. I thought it was really cool the way the sun came through the little acrylic box that holds my painted egg (my desk is getting littered with 'props' of things I have taken pictures of previously).
