Good news No. 1: Diego is okay! Previous tests had shown his liver function was seriously impaired (!) and he was put on liver-disease specific antibiotics for two weeks. If the retests didn't show improved function he was going to have to have a biopsy. Well, test results came in yesterday and his bile acids were normal! Thanks to everyone who sent their good wishes for our furry little hound.

Good news No. 2: La Brainy is coming to town! Em and I will pick her up at Penn Station tonight and whisk her back to my house. She'll be in town till Wednesday morning! Quality time with Alison! Woohoo! It's too bad Rachael can't fly out for a complete Grammar Avenger convergence, but we all trust that'll happen some day soon.

Check this space for evidence of Brainylady's adventures in NYC.

(And I repeat: Woohoo!!)

Hiya,

I somehow came across your site on a stray google search for a yarn store ... I'm also an NYC writer, but my relatively-new yarn obsession has manifested itself in crochet rather than knit. (Is that blashpemous to admit on this blog?!?) anyway, as I'm actively recruiting friends to join me to crochet, I'd also love to connect w/ some "pros." I'll have to check out the Point!

Great, fun blog. Take care,
Jen

Yay! Who's a dood diddle doggie? Who is? Diego!!!! *insert big scritchie scratches for the big poopy dawg here*

Errrrrr... oh, sorry you had to witness that. I miss having a dog sooooooo much. Give Diego a big "so-freaking-happy-you're-ok" smooch for me.

So very happy to hear Diego is okay. Have a great weekend!! :) (my comment is very bland. I am an android.)
