No news and good news

ar_wahanStill nothing on the biopsy results. Fine with me. What I dreaded was coming home this evening, after the surgeon's office closed, to find a message telling me to call them, and not being able to do so until Monday. That would drive me batshit.
Still no Fancy, the missing cat. Samurai isn't worried though, and neither islurkittyStella, cat in icon above, doesn't seem upset either.
I will say last night at 4 a.m., however, when I got up because I felt my blood sugar was low, something mildly creepy happened. Stella came downstairs with me and wanted to go out. We both went out onto the deck, which is on the back of our house facing the woods. Something very large was moving slowly and rather loudly through the woods. The first thought that flashed into my mind was,
"This creature is not afraid to be heard. This is not a prey animal."
That was odd -- I had never made that connection before. And with low blood glucose, even! I don't know what it was. A bear, perhaps? It was too loud, I think, to be a coyote, and I think a canada lynx, even if not a prey animal, would make more of an attempt to be quiet. Samurai, when I told her today, suggested maybe it was a moose. It's so big, it wouldn't consider itself to be a prey animal.
Anyway, Stella heard it too, and turned right around and went back inside.
Yesterday's echocardiogram was uneventful, as predicted. The technologist was really funny and I liked her. At one point she said, "Heck, you have nothing to be worried about!" and then hastily covered her mouth. Then she murmured (no pun intended, since it is a heart murmur she was checking out) that since she's not a doctor, she's not supposed to make diagnoses. She had mentioned earlier that she is new to the area. I asked her where she was from, and she said, "New York City, 103rd and Riverside Drive."
"Unbelievable!" I exclaimed. It turned out I briefly sublet an apartment in the very same building she'd lived in, back in 1978.
Today I sent the copy for the town newsletter off to Gordon, who does the graphic design. (Sort of. I'll talk about all that some other time. See my post about aura colors and remember the whole "Blue" description when I do.) Thought I had a break. Then realized from an email that the church secretary is planning to run the newsletter off on Monday, so that means I have to get it to my church newsletter graphics guy this weekend... and I haven't even started. Fortunately, it only takes me 3-4 hours. Tomorrow's task.

Date: 2006-04-22 02:19 am (UTC)Once, when going over Lolo Pass into Montana, the warthog and I saw a group of very ugly elk standing across the road from the "Welcome to Montana" sign. These were horribly ugly elk -- with knobby knees and motley hair and bulbous noses. We stopped and took pictures and stared for several minutes. It wasn't until we got a few miles down the road that we realized that, indeed, moose make very ugly elk...
Here's hoping that the news from the biopsy is as good as that from the ecg.
