Nov. 11th, 2013 03:03 pmToday being Veterans Day, it was also Vet Day and I got to do the Zipcar-and-cat-carriers dance. Lily needs a tooth pulled, so I have to make an appointment for her for that someday soonish. But not until after this credit card cycle, thanks. After I got the cats home and put the car back, I allowed as how I HATE the Zipcar-and-cat-carriers dance (I don't love driving under normal circumstances, and driving with a soundtrack of miserable cats doesn't help), and went for a walk for an hour and a half so as not to start eating. I've officially lost 30 lb as of this morning, and have arrived at the conclusion that my size-14 jeans are too damn big. New jeans can also wait until the next credit card cycle, though.
Today also seems to be Medical Phone Call Day. Because Lily has lost a tooth and has one that needs to be pulled, they wanted to do bloodwork and find out if she had bacteremia. She doesn't, but they had to call and tell me that. Today I also heard from the BIDMC general surgery department about my gallstones, and I have an appointment with them in a week. Since I'm feeling better, they'll probably tell me I don't need surgery right now. That's OK with me. However, if I get any more escaping gallstones, I'm going to want something permanent done about them.
It's a very nice day out, and I feel like I'm wasting it, but I also sort of feel like I've had my exercise for today and I don't really want any more. Maybe I'll go to the movies after all; the new Thor movie is supposed to be fairly terrible, but I tend to like comic book movies. Things explode and the plots don't tend to be terribly complex. In short, Brain Candy. (The argument against going to the movies is orange, furry, vibrating at an alarming volume and apparently highly averse to leaving me alone.)
