Before I can talk about yesterday, I’m going to have to talk about Monday. After Physics, where I learned about the upcoming test, Little Peddler called to inform me that G-man got more news from the doctors. In addition to the necrotizing pneumonia that has taken up residency in both of his cancer eaten lungs, and the yeast infection in his blood stream, he now has a pulmonary embolism. If you don’t know what that it, it’s a big blood clot in a major vessel. If it breaks free, he dies pretty much instantly. I’m not being dramatic, that’s what the doctors told him.

After that nugget of good feelings, I got to take Jenny to the vet. She was terribly dehydrated at that point and the vet didn’t like the look of the growth on her belly either. So, we opted to run some blood work, and like the doc predicted she had kidney failure due to an infection. Whether the infection was caused by the mass or not we don’t know. We chose the treatment plan in which we try to force feed her liquids and antibiotics in the hope that her kidneys would bounce back and then we could deal with the belly growth later.

Monday sucked.

So, let’s talk about yesterday. Which also sucked. We have to start from the beginning. At 8am I had my Physics test, which was surprisingly easy. Either I knew my shit backwards and forwards or I was so clueless that it seemed simple. Either way the test was easy. I had a little break after the test, before lecture resumed (the intro to Newtonian Physics), so I went to find Operation B. You see, until Operation B finds a job, I am forcing him to sit outside my class for 4 hours every morning. If that’s not motivation enough to get a job, I don’t know what else is. Anyways, I wanted to go fake smoke and I suggested he come with me and stretch his legs after all that sitting. As soon as he stands up, WHAMM-O! He face plants right onto the carpeted floor. Apparently, his medication makes him light headed if he stands up too quickly. So, he fainted. What’s funny is that he was about to go talk to some people about jobs. But at that point he had a splitting headache and it looked like he just got into a fight. Eye swollen, cheek swollen, nose bleeding, lips busted. He hit the ground like a sack of bricks. The worst part is that they are not just bruises, they also carpet burns. How could he possibly go hunting for a job looking like this:

The greatest part of all of that mess was us walking around the corner and running into my Physics professor who scanned from my face to over my shoulder at Operation B’s bloody face. It’s cool. I told my prof that I beat B up for drinking my coffee. You don’t ever touch a man’s coffee.

Then it was off to work. Work was work. About 2:30 I got the phone call that I’d been dreading. Jenny died.

Jenny has been Pancake Land’s little baby since P.L. was 17. So needless to say she’s upset. P.L. would like to thank everyone for their calls and comments and for not coming by the house to comfort her. She holds herself together pretty well, but as soon as she sees your little chin quivering, you’ll get to see her ugly cry and no one likes to be seen ugly crying. She would also like me to curb something before it starts. If any of you get the brilliant idea to get her a puppy, don’t. She is in a place right now that can only be described as “I don’t want anymore pets because they will eventually die”. So, yeah, no new pets for a long time. Thanks.

The weirdest part of having pets is not noticing how you’ve adjusted your behavior to deal with them. You don’t notice until they are gone. Like the way you open the garage door quietly when you come home to keep a little dog from barking and thus annoying her mother. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Oh, cry break.

And we’re back. Okay, that was thoroughly depressing. We need to take out mind off of things. Oh look, Sweetbread has made a new post.

And hey, I promised you Wenis and Fipple and you’re gonna get ’em.

That is going to the cover of they upcoming album “Wenis and Fipple Sing the Folk Favorites of Hobbiton”.

Oh, and here’s the video that I really wanted to show you yesterday, but there was an upload error.

Okay, well I’m pretty wiped out already this morning and the day is just beginning. Newtonian Physics here I come. More soon. ~SC
