Book Cover #2
Another easy one today. Same book, two covers:
Today I tag anemonerose, if she has the time. :)
Tomorrow I'm having a "capsule study" done, wherein a tiny camera is placed in a capsule you can swallow, whereupon it takes pictures of your innards and transmits said pictures to a recording device you wear for eight hours. I've had to be on a clear liquid diet since noon, which means that although I made this delicious-sounding soup tonight - which most people seem to have enjoyed - I haven't been able to try it yet. I also had to choke down another bottle of magnesium citrate; you may recall I had to down FOUR of them (two each, on two consecutive evenings) for my previous colonoscopy. The stuff is vile, so much so that I struggled, mentally, to coax myself to get this one bottle down. Ugh. Still better than the thick gallon of crap you sometimes have to take, but not by much. And I'm hungry. :P
Since I normally run on Tuesdays and won't be allowed to tomorrow, I had to fit in both a run and my weights today. I also dug through piles of Two's crap in his room, in hopes of unearthing the new pair of school-branded sweatpants he seems to have lost. No dice so far.
Speaking of Two, he had his first-ever filling today. He was definitely not too pleased to have his face all numb, making eating difficult, but he's mostly recovered by now.
MiniPlu's flag team put on their final performance today, for the parents. And she's done with Guard for the year, thank goodness. I know she liked doing it, but it just ate up so much of her time. The coach handed out awards afterwards - just a little journal with the "award" spelled out in glittery letters, plus a pin to note their participation. Every girl got an award, so clearly some of these were engineered, but MiniPlu got one for "best academics" on the team. (MiniPlu and her friends immediately joked that she'd won the "Asian award" since it's such a stereotype for Asians to be honor students.)
Cat update: Bennie has been diagnosed with a bladder infection and put on both an antibiotic and a steroid. Vet thinks something is pressing on his spine - tumor, maybe? Something else? causing the paralysis. There's a chance the steroid will reduce the swelling of ... whatever ... and give him back some function, but his days are going to be numbered by how much function and how long it lasts. Poor kitty. Karen has glued herself to the cat for two days now - she even slept on the floor with him last night.
