Dear Diary

Thursday sucked. Colonoscopes are supposed to be flexible but this one felt more like being impaled on rebar. I blame the pain on the inexperienced doctor who seemed to be in training and couldn't make it go around corners. The drugs did little for the pain. They only made me relax instead kicking my impaler in the teeth.

Friday sucked too. I had to take an extra day off work because I still felt fucked up. I rested all day and in the evening I washed my bedsheets so everything would feel fresh and I could get a good rest. The cat had other plans. She's in heat and pissed on the bed while I loaded the washer. Fortunately (for me anyway) it was on D's side of the bed but I still had to act fast.

D has always insisted on having a mattress pad and I hated it until I took it off and saw that cat piss never touched the mattress. Now, I don't think it's a bad thing. One wash in hot water with copious amounts of bleach and it's good as new.

Saturday was better and I was no longer in pain. First thing was first and I made an appointment with the vet to get the cat fixed. Her calls haven't bothered me at all until this time. Now, she makes more noise in one evening that she used to make in a 2 week cycle. We can't be kept up all night and I don't tolerate cat pee on my bed so her time has come to go under the knife.

FLG and I went out in the afternoon and shopped. I had some questions for her; I wanted answers as to why Jeebus (see Oct 11th) would want samiches and eggs for lunch but I'm still not sure I understand. Maybe it's like the trinity.

D was supposed to come with me today to get a Christmas tree. He changed his mind so I went alone. It was extremely cold in Ancaster and I lost feeling in my fingers (and my patience) trying to fit the seven foot balsam fir in my sedan. But I'm glad it's here. Tomorrow we'll decorate.

And today I found a fun song online so it was a good day. I like hearing covers of Stairway. CBC had a special once and they played one in Bluegrass, one Classical and one by Dolly Parton but I never heard the Gilligan version.
