Exhausting 9 days, summary
Feb. 1st, 2010 12:13 am1. Cat having congestive heart failure and a saddle thrombus. Day and a half in the urgent care vet and $1200 later, and now he needs a cardiac ultrasound. He's doing so much better.
2. Friend's husband, member of our druid grove, passed away.
3. I sucked it up and called a friend I hadn't seen in 20 years and was extremely hesitant about calling. Things ended badly back then, and another friend called me up a week ago at 2:30 a.m. and told me I should just pick up the phone and call. D, you were right. It went very well. I can think of ten thousand questions to ask, like twenty years have welled up and spoken all at once -- after we ended our call, of course. He's a really good person and I really missed him.
4. A friend of mine made a very emotional move across country (I've said a bit more about this under f-lock). We've been working with her for 2-1/2 months, but I was on tenterhooks this last week.
5. Some of you may have heard about a work-related product announcement, but we won't be talking about that. :) Still, makes me very happy.
6. Tonight, I found out that my ex-bf Paul Rado died. I was trying to remember when exactly we'd dated, sometime in the early 80s, when I received a facebook message from his wife saying that they'd just celebrated their 25th anniversary. Anyhow, so far as I know, the second person I've dated who's died, the first being my first husband. Rest in Peace Paul, and be well Erin.
Erin was so much more perfect for Paul than I was. Paul and I enjoyed playing things like Squad Leader, but Erin and Paul were both more into Faire, and his heart was really in Faire and mine was not.
The highs don't get much higher than that and the lows don't get much lower. I'm also still recovering form the Crud of Eternal Damnation, which I've now had for nearly a month.
