What a busy day! This morning I took Sakura to the vet for her check-up, and it turns out the antibiotics worked and the dermatitis is slowly going away. We did another shot, and even managed to check her heartbeat. That's usually a problem because Sakura loves the vet (who is indeed a very adorable person), and as soon as she's on the table she starts purring like crazy, thus making it impossible to hear anything else with a stethoscope. This time I noticed she had particularly hated the bus ride, so I told the vet to get the stethoscope out the second I let Sakura out of the carrier. And lo and behold, it worked! Thirty seconds later, we were back in Purr Town. :D
By the way, her heart works perfectly. ^^
Then there was the guy fixing the hydraulic pump in the garage. It broke yesterday, and flooded the garage. I'm so glad I don't have a car. But I was still the only one in the building who knew where the pump was, how it worked, where the electricity came from, and I had to give the guy a tour. The sixty-year-old man owning one of the garages didn't even know the basics, and listened in religious silence to me. It was a weird but good feeling.
And after that I got a call from the hospital telling me they were waiting for a call from me, except I had no idea, and they couldn't find mom's doctor anywhere, and I had to keep calling every fifteen minutes for two hours, and I still didn't find him. It's nothing urgent, but with the holiday tomorrow and then the weekend I'll have to wait until monday before I can talk to him. Bugger.
At that point I collapsed on my bed, and woke up an hour later when I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to be at the hairdresser, except I completely forgot, and now they're closed for two weeks. I can't believe I forgot my appointment, it's the first time it ever happened, it's so embarassing. And as I only have the number for the salon, I'll have to wait until they come back to apologize. What the hell, brain.
In fandom news, Sony made a fantastic announcement: Guillermo Del Toro will be directing the next Silent Hill game, and it'll feature Norman Reedus. I don't play horror games because they scare the shit out of me (a friend once tried to make me play a Resident Evil game, five minutes in I freaked out and shot the President's daughter in the head), but I'd really love to play a game directed by Del Toro, so during dinner I watched half a Silent Hill 2 playthrough on YouTube. It's a lot less scary when I'm not the one playing it, and so far I like it. Although I still have no idea what's going on. :D
