I like my SE. I had been using a 6 for the longest time. I wanted to keep touch ID. I don't like Face ID. I don't have the worst mug out there. But I'm just awkward about it. I don't like selfies. I don't like the small self video window of Facetime or other video conferencing. I like touch ID. Very convenient. I was all ready to get an 8 until the SE was announced. I have gotten used to the whole body click of the home button. I like that it's configurable so I have scaled that back. I also like that it's the same size as the 6. This means the battery pack cases I use with my old phone are interchangeable with the new one. So the old one remains on the charger as a backup iPod or something. Or a placeholder for the currently charging case. And the second case--remember I do everything in pairs--is on the phone. Sometime overnight or in the morning, I swap out the cases. The new phone is never tethered to a charger unless I forgot to swap the cases. Which is starting to happen more often because the SE charge lasts longer than the 6 (hence the charger cases in the first place.) I found some Chinese Mophie knock-off cases on Amazon that have a probably illegal lightning port pass-through whereas the officially licensed products are only allowed to use the lightning male connector and provide an annoying and inferior micro-USB female connection. I, for one, will be very happy when everything is using USB-C. As is always the case with Apple, the newer the device, the fatter the media sizes as hardware and software quality improves. So my upgrade to a 128 GB device is probably negated by 6 MB photos and nearly 10 MB for 6 seconds of video. Besides the performance being snappier, I like that my games, the one or two I allow myself to play that won't tear up my arms and shoulders that I need for work, are saved in memory so multitasking away from them for a quick task, like changing the smart lights, doesn't mean the game has to reload from flash all over again. I'm happy with this purchase. And I bought it outright so I can keep it as long as it takes for Apple to bring back touch ID on their flagship devices."...I think if I let her out for a few minutes, she'd feel even worse about being put back in her pen." Sounds right to me. Confinement is very difficult, but having done that myself, and come through it, I can say it'll always be a less-than-pleasant memory, but I had to do it and so I did it.
Good about the antibiotic! Hoping it was successful and for continued success. "Feistier" is wonderful!
On another subject, how do you like your SEII? I just got mine and activated it and was amazed at how the process went.
Nice review, thanks! Yeah, I'm the same way so I'm not going to be using FaceTime or Face ID at all. I didn't ever set up FaceTime on the SE original.I like my SE.

I believe they are stitches. Invoice item for "Suture seal bandage". To be honest, I have only seen what you have seen in the pictures. She's not exactly amenable to being laid on her back and her head tipped back. Maybe a fatter Krista would have tolerated the baby cradle position. But in these leaner years, that's somewhere between very uncomfortable to downright painful when she's basically just fur over a very palpable spine and pelvis. I'm hoping that relaxing the chemo to a bi-weekly schedule and removing the offending fish flakes may finally put all this constipation and inflammation to rest and get some weight back on her. When I bupe her next in an hour, I'll see if I can position her over an iPad to get a clearer view.I'm glad to see Krista is doing well! I agree with you about the fiestiness being a good thing. I'm glad you're staying on top of her pain meds. Does she have stitches or surgical glue? It was a little hard to tell from the photos.
Awww. She looks pretty comfy in there, actuallyShe’s probably used to having a camera trained on her by now.

“No privacy in here.“
That's because she's high on opiods. I gave her a bupe dose at noon. She doesn't like taking it. But she certainly appreciates the end result. As long as she's stoned, I get happy trills from her.Awww. She looks pretty comfy in there, actually
Well, the "poop news" is good! and hoping with you that she won't need the bupe soon. Here's to a calm, peaceful, comfortable and restful night for you both.She again. This one was more formed than not. Solids in a small amount of soup. We're going in the right direction. Nothing bonus. No bombs. The bupe is constipating and the antibiotic might go the other way. I'm not going to try to fix her poop just yet. Let's see what the next one holds for us since it is improving. Also,her food already has pumpkin in it so let's not get too crazy. I'm just happy she's not having bonus rounds, bombs, or poop barfs.
Poor girl though. She got really worked up like her bupe was wearing off already. It's tough to know how well she absorbs the oral bupe because I just have to spray and pray with her. I know she doesn't have to swallow it. But she does need to get some across the oral mucosal tissues for absorption. Whatever she does swallow potentially lessens that absorbed amount. She was pawing at the door and started to cry out. I found some old transdermal bupe I still have and decided to give her a half dose from that. I would switch her to the transdermal bupe completely. Except it's expired and I only have a few doses left. So I'm going to reserve it as a backup to the oral. Hopefully in a few days, she won't need the bupe anymore.
Not cat themed. But if you want that battery case I use...Nice review, thanks! Yeah, I'm the same way so I'm not going to be using FaceTime or Face ID at all. I didn't ever set up FaceTime on the SE original.
I got the greatest silicone cases from some friends who had a business, for really good price, cat-themed and all of the openings just right. But the friends have disappeared. These cases are from PRC too so maybe I can find some similar for the II.
