Going to New York this weekend! WHEEEE! So, here's the deal. ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
princesskariboo has a friend who needed to interview a fandom writer. And (for reasons I can not possibly fathom), she picked me! *bounces with delight* I feel special, or something. *grins* What shall I wear? *ponders*
Also, while I'm in NYC, I'm hoping to see a few people. I'm going to arrive mid-day Saturday, and leave mid-day Sunday, so I don't think I'll have a lot of time. I'd wanted to see Kathleen, Cassie, and maybe even Candy and Heather (although I haven't even called them yet - *MEEP!* - I miss you guys!)... but somehow, I don't know if I'll have time. So many cool people, so little time. Anyone in the NYC area want to all meet up? In one centralized location? So that I don't have to scramble to a dozen different places to see all of you? Hmmm... I should post this on my Yahoo group.
I just bought a Brazilian Rainbow Boa. I haven't named him yet, as I haven't spent enough time with him. He's currently residing at Chez Malfoy, being cared for by the highly competant serpent handler,alabastard. *waves* Thanks! Although I wish I were there myself so I could spend some quality bonding time. It's been about three years since I've had a pet snake... my dear Seymore. Rest in peace, love. She was the sweetest snake. Much smaller than this new one. Maybe two feet long, and she loved to be a necklace. Beautiful necklace. *sigh* She died when I went away for three weeks. I gave my mom basic instructions, and told her that if anything went wrong, to let me know. And, of course, bring Seymore to the vet. Well... I came home to a very deceased snake. Not happy. But, that's in the past. Anyhow, I do have some pictures, which I need to upload somehow. I'll get to that soon.
Baseball! BASEBALL! Oh, the Red Sox are already cruising at a high altitude, and they show no signs of slowing down! And the Yankees are *cough* effectively tied for last. I know, I know, Tampa Bay has one more loss than New York and Toronto, but they all have just seven wins each to their names. *sniffle-tear* It brings a tear of joy to my eye.
And finally... more doctors. Can't Harry just avoid the bloody hospital wing? *growls* So, I had an ultrasound yesterday. Few minor problems that they found - enough to cause discomfort and occasionally pain, but not large enough that they'll do anything directly to fix it. The medical equivalent of "There's a crack in the bridge, but it's not a large enough crack to bother fixing, so we'll just wait until the bridge is ready to crumble into the river before we patch it." Because yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense. However, they did, inadvertently, discover another possible problem. As they're scanning the area, they just did a routine check of the kidneys. And when they pressed down - damn that hurt! So now, they want me to go get checked for a kidney infection. I thought I just had a sore back from sleeping funny, but it kinda makes sense. But I can't miss any more work for doctors appointments! I hate doctors anyway! And didn't they already check for that? *headdesk* So, the debate rages on... go in and get it checked, and possibly just be told again that it's a false-lead? Or just ignore it and hope it goes away? I like the second option, myself.
*is so sick of this crap*
I miss running. It's gorgeous outside. I'm really tempted to try a run tonight. I live really close to the Arlington bike path, and it's supposed to be really nice. Shall I? Just two or three miles, maybe. Knee pain? That's what Advil is for!
*goes back to work*
