text message conversation

me: ruby at work


becky: was she going through some student files?  summarizing chapters for you in your world history textbook?  responding to parent emails?

me: she tried to input some data in a spreadsheet but it wasn't the data i wanted.  lots of ====

ruby got to come to work with me because she threw up six times in the first three days i owned her.  this is, as you might imagine, a problem when you weigh only two pounds and are a skinny kitty to begin with.  we went to the vet and had lots of tests run and everything came back normal...she got fluids and antibiotics because the vet thinks it is an intestinal infection/virus/whatever...i had a mini break down because it was so sad to see her so sick (mom talked me down, one of her best skills as a mom)...i brought her to work the next day so i could feed her tiny meals every couple hours...she was the hit of the office...and the antibiotics appear to be working because she hasn't thrown up since!  she's eating lots and growing a fat kitten belly that makes me very happy.  whew.  those were a stressful couple of days.
