dugindeepYesterday, I made an appointment to take Lucy to the vet ... she's had something up with her one eye for a lil over a week and it's gotten better then worse, better then worse. Basically the inner part of her eyelid was looking red and swollen, and she'd get some nasty discharge out of it. Well, the second I brought the cat carrier out, she went running under the bed. Flash forward to the vet's office and she kept going INTO the carrier to hide from all the weird noises in neighboring rooms LOL.
Following a 10-minute conversation on feline herpes (omg scary) followed by a long dye test to make sure her eye hadn't been scratched, the doctor finally decided it was just an irritated eyelid and gave me a steroid ointment to give to her twice a day. With the nurse holding Lucy down while wrapped in a towel, the vet made it seem very simple to get the ointment into the corner of her eye. Last night and this morning? By myself? Not so much. At least after just three treatments, the eye is already looking better. And she doesn't have feline herpes. LOL, seriously though, I liked the vet, but I don't get why she had to have this long, thorough conversation on it when we weren't even testing for that.
Hilariously, they weighed her and said she's 9.6lbs. O_O I can only imagine how much Shep weighs, since he is literally twice her size.
I go back to work tomorrow, which will likely be good for me (human interaction, getting up and around, actually showering), but I'm still feeling a lil crummy and coughing a ton. I'm also still incredibly bitter that the first time I get REAL DAYS OFF from work, I'm stuck indoors watching TV. Blah.
But I did find a great new show - though I will warn that it's only five episodes, ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, and is just barely into production for its second season. The Fall (BBC on Netflix) with Gillian Anderson as a senior investigator brought in to analyze an unsolved murder investigation ... which turns into just one death in a serial murder case. I found the first episode captivating and creepy, which I think is a great combination for a crime show. The show spends equal parts following the police as it does the killer, and I found that incredibly interesting (and still creepy).
I've also started Ripper Street, also on Netflix, but the second episode wasn't as interesting to me as the first one. Summary: Set in the East End of London in 1889 during the aftermath of Jack The Ripper murders. The infamous H Division - the police precinct charged with keeping order in the district of Whitechapel- is in a chaotic state trying to keep order after a tumultuous time for London and reported infamously worldwide.
