super saturday
i started a post this morning but ended up losing it. i was on the phone trying to sort out where to have my birthday brunch (the first place wouldn’t have room for us, the second didn’t exist!) when i noticed galahad was limping pretty badly. he wasn’t putting any weight on his left front paw as he stood. i called the vet and they told me to bring him in imediately.
so, it was off to the vet with us while buttons re-coordinated the brunch again! luckily, i was already dressed.
after almost $200 at the vet, which included x-rays of his two paws, we discoverd that his wrist/ankle is not broken. they gave him a shot of pain killer and instructions to give him half a baby asprin ever 2-3 days starting monday if he still needs it. apparently cats don’t matabolize analgisics very well or very quickly.
i got out of the vet just in time to drive home and drop off galahad and drive over to the third and final choice for brunch to arrive exactly on time for our second try at reservation times of the day. *whew*
brunch was great and afterwords went to see my friend’s first photography show in sf open studios. he was thrilled to have so many people in his place looking at his work. i was pretty pleased for him, as well.
unfortunately, he’d recently lost one camera and broken another. i lent him my camera for the day, since it’s closer to his normal digital point and shoot than his other back up. all day i was having camera envy, thinking of things i would have shot if only i had my camera with me! 
he’s a much better photographer, though, and i certainly don’t regret helping him document this day.
afteword buttons and i ran a number of little errands before she had to go home and rest up before a fundraiser she’s helping out with tonight. i’m home with my dopy cat who’s completely spaced out on the pain meds the vet gave him and procrastinating the feng shuiing i have to do in the storage room.
