Well, I'm back in the office after working at home for 2 1/2 weeks. The remodel isn't finished; the 2nd floor is still being redone. Right now it sounds like someone is sawing their way through the ceiling above me.

Had to take Max to the vet today. He had what looked like a gash next to the corner of his mouth, but it turned out to be some kind of ulcer with a very long name. The vet says it's most likely an allergic reaction to something, and gave him a steroid shot. Plus, it's infected, so he gets antibiotics. Poor thing.
