BUZZ BUZZ Once There Was...

I "had Thursday off."

I KNOW i did. My calendar tells me so. and yet... i've not managed to do ONE damn thing i promised i would do with my spare time today! Except for one thing: Getting Berlioz and Visas Murr to the vet.

Kitty report!

Visas Murr:
1. NEGATIVE for feline Leukemia and other badness! yaaay! she's being socialized with my other cats now.

2. Her eyes are MUCH less swollen, but her inner eye-lid is still tightly closed over the fairly deep sockets. So the doctor still can't tell me what's up with her peepers. We'll finish up the course of eye-goo treatments and try again on the 15th of July. Maybe she will have not only ceased the swelling thing (this is going well) but also OPENED her eyes all the way (not so likely.)

3. IF we cannot see that other eye, the Doc (who's a general practice small animals vet) wants to send me to a kitty optomologist. Not that Visas will get glasses or anything, but the doc feels that what we're looking at is microphthalmia-- where the eyes of a kitten are unformed or undersized, but there ARE lumps of flesh present that could be eyes. ANOphthalmia is the more severe form, and there would be no eyes. But yes. With microphthalmia, there can be painful complications (depending on the level of development the eyes have.) The optomologist would be better able to tell me if Visas' tear ducts are completely functional, if she would be prone to infections, or if she's going to have problems with detaching retnas, slipped lenses or other badness.

4. Visas is gaining weight in a healthy, steady way.

5. She's alert and playful...and likes to climb. She's better at UP than DOWN.


Berlioz

1. Got his rabies vaccine and a clean bill of health.

2. Needs a tooth cleaning, since he's up to his eyeballs in tartar (metaphorically of course) and has a bleeding spot on his tooth. Kitty may need a filling.

3. He's also overweight. Officially. I've been advised to switch to a lower-calorie cat food. Which is of course, more expensive. *sigh* it's like people food. If it's good for you? it's PRICEY. but i know looking at Yzma, SHE could stand to lose some weight too. so I'm resigned to dumping more $$ on catfood.






There are pictures. They're on my computer. and One of the 500 things that I just didn't have time for today was to resize them so i could post them either on photobucket or in a gallery here on Livejournal or something.

Things that remain un-done:

1. kitty pictures.
2. rpg forum posting.
3. next chapter of the fanfic.
4. cleaning the downstairs bathroom.
5. vacuuming my room.
6. calling the U of B academic advisors and getting the actual list of requirements for what i WANT for my major.
7. drawing stuff for several people.
8. Tshirt design promised my friend Rachel.
9. doing more lj icons of ?! characters.

and about 20 other things that are on the to-do list on my desk... which, i'm at "the studio" ...which is just the working half of kevin's bedroom in the basement.

His nap is over! time to go back to work. i've got INKINGS to do!


See y'all!
