So do you know that you can find pet sitters who give shots? Nitro had a wonderful, wonderful pet sitter when I traveled, who came twice a day to pill him and inject him.
My new vet's office has three people who do this for clients! Some will even house-sit if you want 'em to, while others just do the injection on the way to/from work. I am so happy I could just collapse in a little pool of post-stress goo.
It must be really odd to live someplace where rain in July is unusual enough to be worthy of an incredulous LJ entry. Here in Boston, we've had 13.4" of rain since June 1, which is 7.5" over the "normal" amount for this particular 2-month period.
It was definitely odd for this East Coast girl to get used to. The first year I was here I was on a volunteer committee planning a big outdoors event. I raised the obvious question of what to do in case of rain. They all just looked at me. They didn't even laugh, they just looked.
The thing that gets me in a subtler way, though, is the lack of winter. Somewhere in my subconscious I still think I'm twenty-three, because obviously a full year has not yet passed since I moved here.
Ah, well, maybe that explains why I'm getting younger (http://dawnd.livejournal.com/242172.html)! I've only lived 3/4 of the years since arriving in 1977. :^D
It isn't wine. See, when unstable moist air rises and condenses, it forms small cloud droplets on any aerosol nuclei it can find. As those cloud droplets get larger and larger from additional condensation, eventually they get heavy enough to where the balance between the pressure gradient force and gravity shifts to gravity's favor, and they fall down.
Oh well! I still remember, vividly, the hail we had in June or so the first year I was here. I thought "oh, hail" and the whole rest of the office was going berserk.

Once more, with spelling-fu
I wish I truly understood weather. To me, it's all indistinguishable from magic.
