thepnutgalleryStayed very productive all day, despite Lady Miss Friday's frustration. I'd hoped that laying with her and petting her in the morning would calm her down, but nada.
I had my video chat with my doc, and apparently the reason the results weren't clear is that.....they weren't clear. I'm not epileptic, but there's a nebulous "something" wrong with my left temporal lobe, and any brain damage increases the risk of seizures. He reiterated that I should start medication but...no. It was a step forward that I at least didn't agree to it on the spot then decide against it later.
Well aware that I'm the weak link on Team Squeak, I texted Tim after. He commented that I probably have TBI, which often comes packaged with depression at no extra charge.
Patrick posted the quote from Promises on my wall, which led to him coming over. Rudy commented on it as well, and I invited him over. At the last second, I thought about Lady Miss Friday and my mice, and made a very restrained comment that they should definitely not upset them. Nick and Patrick are both gems, and made it clear they knew the hierarchy of animals in my life.
It was absolutely wonderful to see Patrick again, though we drank too much and stayed up too late. We watched Promises, of course, and Silver Lining a few times, then the performance of Claire de Lune by Flight Facilities featuring Owl Eyes and MSO. I was struck by how deeply moved Christine seemed, and Patrick picked up on it and put it to better words than I could. At some point, I started dancing to a few of the songs, so at least I got some exercise?
