While things are getting better a lot of things are still a trainwreck on my end.
While my cat has responded to the thyroid medication, she can’t take it as a pill which is the prime reason for all of her side effects (including being vomity as all hell)
So the mighty 15 year old furball is going to be getting a topical gel in her ears, and is on anti-nausea medication and a reduced dose of the pills until she can get on the gel.
That’s one thing that’s getting better…on the other hand, the day after I posted my message about things going on pause, an elderly family member banged themselves up in a fall and is still recovering.
So we are still in wait and see mode over here. When we know more, you’ll know more. 🙁
And Adah notices the critical spot and possible flaw in the argument.
This is one of those laws that’s so old and unchallenged because it’s almost never invoked in the first place – there hasn’t been a House War for quite some time now – and because normally following it results in the obviously more stable outcome.
But now there’s a great deal of uncertainty, a lot of questions with no answers, and the Taoiseach is a relative youngster that’s making a lot of worryingly aggressive moves, and technically he’s only Taioseach because the “adults” were incapacitated or missing.
If the oldest living Taioseach suddenly resurfaces and decides he should be in charge again… There could be a problem.
(Not that I think Thorongil /wants/ the job back, but anyone who’s been secretly chafing under Ian’s rule or hoping for a power play for their own might decide to cause trouble…)

It was just a rotten day all around. 🙁
