Updates on things left hanging:
Milo's visit to the vet:
Well, on Monday I went in and got the test results, and it was his kidneys, as everybody knew going in. Certain levels of something-or-other are very high, but, since he is eating well and seems comfortable, I do not yet have to give him a daily shot between the shoulderblades.
A daily shot between the shoulderblades! Heavenly day. Having had two diabetic dogs, I have no fear of giving injections, but I'd rather not have to give my cat a goddamned daily shot between the shoulderblades.
Anyway, I just have to give him this potassium gel in a tube, which kitties are supposed to lap up as it there is no tomorrow, it's so damn yummy. Ha, I say, and I say Ha again. Milo frickin' hates the stuff, and I have to smear it on his little kitty lips every day as he is squirming and squirming, and hopefully he gets some of it down him.
Anything to avoid the daily shot between the shoulderblades.
The scratch on my face:
I didn't realize that it was so long ago, but it's been nearly three weeks, and it's not going anywhere.
It's this long raised red line down my temple to my cheek, I have taken to rubbing it with my forefinger when I'm thinking. I look in the mirror and I'm surprised that it's so prominent. I still think that it will fade with time, but until then, I'm Scarface Zuckert.
I'm almost embarrassed to say that I actually think it's pretty cool. It looks like a dueling scar.
The show I was un-cast in:
This is a good one. Cynthia talked to Le about it, so that he would know that it wasn't that I was being a flake and not returning my phone calls or anything, and she found out that it was karma coming home to roost, and everything turned out the best for everyone, including me.
This guy, this director needed an actress for a role, and it was an okay role, so Le suggested that he call me. Then, Le got a call from, remember the girl whom I caused to be hit by a bus? Her, a call from her saying that she was all better now and really wanted to work with the company again, and Le realized that she would be really good for the role that he had cast me in, so he called the director and told him to cast her instead, and now he will put me in a much better role.
Isn't that great? I am very willing to give up a role to assuage my guilt in her injury, especially if it's a role that's just right for her, and the fact that I'll get something better doesn't hurt either!
Look at this, will you look at this?
Look at that cast! David Morse and Russell Crowe in the same picture! I don't know if I should go see it, whenever it opens, I may have a stroke.
They'll have to have an oxygen tank in the theatre for me.
Today's horoscope:
You (or the kids) may be inclined to splurge on some kind of self-indulgence today. A little spoiling is fine; just don't go overboard.
One year ago today:
Well, I think I busted my hand yesterday.
