Dr. Lacey's Weekly Message

Hi all,

So Penelope desperately wants a cat, but my husband is allergic. She is not sympathetic; “just take a pill!” she says. She made a PowerPoint presentation about why she should get a cat, and I have to say, it was pretty compelling. Good arguments, strategic use of cat images. The other issue is space. Our house is small, and we’ve already got a dog. SO, right now, the compromise is that we need to finish the basement before we’ll reconsider the cat request. I’ll be honest, y’all. I wouldn’t mind a cat. But also don’t mind not having a cat. Ben feels like I’m not backing him up, but I am completely neutral on all this. We have been telling her that she can get a cat when she gets her own place as an adult, and she is continually shocked that she will not be living with us for the rest of her life.

I also got some terrible news yesterday. I cannot share it, but make sure you tell your people you love them and care about them. Things can change so, so fast.

ANYWAY, there are a few new items here, as well as updated events and job/internships opportunities.

Be your own flamingo princess,
Dr. Lacey
