Tidbits

- I picked Clarabelle up from the vet today, and she's doing great. Her incision is a good six inches long, and she is now the seven-nippled wonder.

- Monte is thrilled to see his girl, although he's having a tough time understanding why she can't roughhouse. It doesn't matter that she's missing a nipple. She's still all woman to him. They napped all afternoon with their paws touching.

- The vet remains astounded at her pus-filled boob, which apparently gave no outward indication of being filled with pus. Even after removing it, it was very firm and lumpy. But when she cut it in half, "it was like a pancake!," she said.

- Alas… they send both halves to pathology, so I can't see the sticky yellow goo.

- I received my diploma in the mail today. Yay! I sort of expected that the paper would be thicker. Not that I'm complaining. I'm just sayin'.

- It appears that Clompy McClomperton, our monster-footed upstairs neighbor, is MOVING OUT! Yay!

- I get to eat grilled asparagus on Monday night. Couldn't be more excited. Perhaps it will keep the kitties from following me into the bathroom.
