After a nap and getting cleaned up I feel better. It’s raining and thundering yet again but with “the function” on tap I’m oblivious to much else. I can take almost anything for a few hours. At least that’s what I tell myself.
I’m concerned about my basset hound. The vet said I should see some improvement by now and I don’t. She’s still red and itchy. It seems to come and go. Poor thing has had it rough with all her allergies. Anyway, I guess I’ll report in, as he requested. Unfortunately it won’t be the kind of report we were expecting. Her coat is coming out in clumps on her back where the majority of the scaly sores are. She doesn’t seem to be in too much discomfort though. Just a little gnawing.
I’m bracing myself for a massive dose of the good people. I guess I deserve it. If I’d have played my cards right I’d be so far a way from here I might actually miss them for a few seconds every couple of years. Couldn’t or wouldn’t do that though. I never envisioned living out my life in this backwater of religious fanaticism. Sometimes I wonder if all those times I dodged death I was actually lucky. Probably not.
