I know it has been some time but....
I know it has been some time since my last post, it's just been just like, well....can't really explain, so here goes:
Monday, I went to Walgreens to get my free H1N1 flu vaccine, and I had Foxxi with me. The lady who works at the pharmacy was afraid to go near me when Foxxi was around, especially where there's a hypodermic needle, so Rosey took Foxxi to Olivia Ann, one of the managers who gives Foxxi treats, to watch her. Thankfully, Foxxi was well behaved. Last week, Foxxi barked at one of the pharmacists when he walked over her.
The next day, I came back to Walgreens to check on a status of a subscription on a medication. And Foxxi was with me, and barked at the same pharmacist. The medication came, and I was pulled aside by one the other managers saying that there were a couple of complaints about Foxxi's barking (she does bark as running kids, skateboarders, and razor scooterists) and that wasn't allowed in the store anymore. I bet it was the 2 worked at the pharmacy that complained, but whatever.
Last Sunday, I attended the DAS Xmas Mini-Con (which was postponed from 12/17 due to major snow storm). I donated some old Animerica magazines for those who want them. They did go over pretty well. Nai got my Secret Santa gift, which were a set of Love Hina Christmas figures and various J-Snacks (Ramune, fruit chews, milk tea). I always have excellent gifts to give. My gift from my Secret Santa was a Riding Bean DVD, a Riding Bean CD soundtrack, and the first episode of Yakitate! Japan.
Katsucon is only a few weeks away, and decided to room at the Hampton Inn rather than the Gaylord because the rooms are cheaper (Hampton Inn is $129 per night plus free breakfast). I got myself, J-Rock, Jefferson, and one of Mattie's male roomies from her room at the Gaylord in my room. Originally, a DAS-Dover member, Ruth, was also planning to attend, but her computer crashed and needed to use the money to get the her PC fixed. I can relate to that, I remember spending 5 hours on the phone will Dell Tech Support one night, & thankfully, the problem was fixed. But that 5 hours felt like eternity! She did let me know then rather than 1-2 prior to Katsucon, which was very classy and considerate of her to do that. And she will definitely be one of my roomies for Otakon this year.
Foxxi has been getting quite a bit of quality playing time with Bino, as well as a new dog on the block. One of my neighbors got a Beagle/Daschund mix named Zero, but shorted it to Zee since Zero is not a good name for a dog.
