I dropped Bob off at the vet this morning. After sorting out payments (we already owed them money), they told me to call at 3 pm. That's an hour from now. He felt so light when I picked him up, but he was purring up a storm (yes, I know cats purr when they are injured or not feeling well, but let me have my illusions). He didn't fight going into the cardboard carrier, but refused to put his head down to close it. I felt terrible just leaving him there.

Crossing my fingers.

Edit 3:55pm: John phoned - he'll be staying overnight for observation. The Dr. says they will know by 5:30 (or better tomorrow) what the bloodwork says. She's felt a couple of lumps in his abdomen and they will be doing some x-rays to find out what they are.

And they gave him a flea dip. John says this is a good sign because why would they do that if he weren't going to make it? I think probably to keep them from getting on the other animals. I feel constant guilt about this.

In which cartoons invade my slumber...

Well, they have every other part of my life, so they were bound to show up there sooner or later...

I had a dream last night where I met my brother Dave at a bus stop, and when he appeared he was dressed up like Vash the Stampede. He had bleached his hair and spiked it up, had yellow sunglasses and a long red coat. Except it had a pair of zippers instead of buttons.

Where the heck did that come from? He doesn't even watch anime. He's too short to be Vash anyway, a couple of inches shorter than I am.

Awhile ago, I had one where I was still in college, and Vegeta was my roommate. We shared an apartment. No, unfortunately, nothing more than that. He was a decent guy, if easily pissed off. I think he actually cleaned and did the dishes. For some reason, there was a crane on our street (which was the street in front my parent's house) for removing trees or something; it pissed him off for some reason and he knocked it over with a gesture from half a block away. That's about all I remember from that one. Funny thing was I dreamed him as a real person, not an animated one. But if you asked me now, I couldn't tell you the difference.

Maybe if I had more dreams like that, I'd remember them more often.
