Last Friday Mom’s dog went in to the vet. He had been sick for a few days and ran a fever the night before. A place where he puts too much weight on had rubbed enough to build up a lot of liquid… about the size of a baseball. Well, that finally got infected. He’ll need surgery… complicated surgery that will cost maybe 1,000 dollars and such. He is on a lot of medicine right now too.
This past weekend I’ve been out of it. I’ve been sleeping a whole lot… It is rather annoying.
A board I have been going to since around the beginning of this month has really made me happy. It is nice going there and I’ve actually made some casual “friends”.
Back on the sixteenth I let a person who contacted me read the first part of that LONG story of mine. Well so far the person doesn’t seem bored. Yay!
I also chatted with a few people on IRC one night and it was very interesting. I had a hard time following the conversation, but they were nice. I learned about how “gender” is a misused word and what it truly meant when it was a psychological term. I also learned obsession was like that too. It used to be affiliated with the mystical and was similar to being seen as being possessed.
In joining that board I’ve also began “collecting” abandoned dragon eggs from dragcave.net. It is fun. I like watching the eggs slowly hatch and then the hatchlings grow. I have four fully grown dragons now!
Sunday night, my brother told me about Smokey… it seems a black cat who looked very much like him had been outside his appartment the other night. My brother’s roommate let it in and stuck him in my brother’s room. It wasn’t Smokey… so when my brother gets home he picks up a black cat laying in his room, but soon sees one dash for the bed… Yep… there are two black cats.
Well, my brother isn’t sure which one is Smokey now. He decided one had to be his cat and put the other back outside. Still, he doesn’t seem to be quite certain.
Monday I fell asleep around three in the morning, woke up for breakfast at eight and went back to sleep an hour later. I finally got up again at around one thirty. The night before I had been reminded of Peabody… I became quite sad and looked at the memorial page I made for him… I sniffled and my eyes watered some… sigh… I miss him.
Anyway, Monday was pretty normal after that… I did my chores and got online to check out the board some. When dad got home, though, my brother called. He asked my dad if Smokey had been neutered. He had been. He asked because the cat he has now doesn’t seem to have been. Oi!
Well, a while later my brother came over. Seeing its eyes… I knew it wasn’t Smokey. It is smaller, younger, it hasn’t been neutered and it doesn’t have the flecks of single gray hairs on its back… the gray it has is on its belly… My brother lost his cat…
Sigh… well, I went to bed early that night and woke up around seven Tuesday morning. I ate, did some chores, took a shower and got ready. My mom, dad and I got int he car. Mom dropped Dad off at work and we headed to see the foot doctor. It was just a checkup to see how the orthodics were doing. I’ve been doing great with them, in truth.
Well, after a bit of talk, the check up was over and Mom and I paid what the insurance didn’t cover… they were a whole lot cheaper by then. Yay!
After that my mom and I got back home. She did a few things and then left for work. I cleaned up some and spent the rest of the day as I usually would. I did take a nap in the afternoon, so I woke up again around seven. Mom wanted to watch NCIS, so we did that, ate dinner and by nine she needed to go to bed. She’s really into facebook right now, so before she goes to bed she tends to check it. Other cases are where she gets a message by cell phone and she says, “I have to respond”. I just smirk. She doesn’t have to respond right that second, but she does.
Well, it is midnight here now and I guess it is time to go to bed. I’ll likely write about Turkey Day Thursday night or Friday… Night-oh, night-oh.
