Re Phoenix

So, Phoenix seems to be feeling alright, despite the baldness and stitchy-ness of her belly right now. I let her wander around the bedroom upstairs for about a half an hour today just to see how she's doing, since it's somewhat hard to tell when she's sitting back in the corner of the kitty-carrier-slash-temporary-bunny-pen.

Behaviour-wise, she's acting just like she always does (except she's not currently nesting, lol), which somewhat surprised me as I figured she'd still be a bit lethargic and moving slowly because of her surgical wounds. It was a relief, though, so see her hopping and sniffing around like normal.

Still, I have a few concerns... like that she's favoring her right hind leg when she hops about, and she wasn't doing that before she went in for the spay. It's not a huge limp... honestly, I'm probably the only one that would notice it without staring at her for an hour, but I've watched her wander around a lot, so I know how she normally walks.

I'm also a bit worried that she isn't going to the bathroom like she should; since I brought her home yesterday, she hasn't peed at all (as of the last time I checked her temp. cage), and has only pooped two little pellets.

Her appetite isn't 100%, either. She isn't eating much, but she is nibbling at the pellets and veggies that I've given her. She's drinking fine, though. I think I'd be more worried if she wasn't herself personality-wise, but still...

Le sigh... -_-;

The vet should be calling tomorrow to check up on her, so I'm going to ask about these things just in case. Mostly I'm concerned that she might go into G.I. Stasis or something. I have a feeling her limping is just because of the surgical area, and once it doesn't hurt anymore she'll stop... but I'll ask about that, too.

Anyhoo...

An Endless Circle

Hweeeh... I'm so tired. =.=;

I didn't sleep much last night, then I got up at 8 (as usual), and woke up with a headache... you know how you get them if you sleep for a short time and wake up before you should? Yeah. ^^; Aspirin is my friend!

After I showered/dressed/etc. I talked to Cassandra-san for a while (yay the 'Net was working this morning!), then I meandered downtown to meet my brother, his girlfriend, and her younger brother down by the Opera House-- this weekend the city has this street sale down on the main street, so we all wandered around there for a couple of hours.

We poked around the Farmer's Market again, since it's Saturday and it was open as well, then went up and down the street a couple of times; Trunks was awesome and lent me some money, since I don't have any. >^-^;;

He bought me a pillow-blanket thing, which is actually for Mom for Christmas; it's a blanket with a pillowcase deal, and when you're not using the blanket, you can fold it up and tuck it into the case, and it becomes a pillow. I thought it was a really cute idea, and Mom would really like it. It's got wolves on it. =3

And he also got me a cowboy hat! X3 I've wanted one FOREVER, and there was a booth selling them there... and they were selling them pretty cheap (mine cost $15), so he said he'd buy me one. ^_^ It's kind of black with a lace design and some shells. Trunks says it reminds him of the Crocodile Dundee hat. XD

They had another kind of hat that I really liked, too-- with little white sequins all over it. It came in a bunch of different colors, but the pink was the nicest one. I couldn't stop giggling over the BLING, lol. But they didn't have any of that kind that fit my big head. :P Oh well, I love the one I got anyway.

I'll take a picture and upload it later~

And then we were walking past a new ice cream shop, and they were handing out coupons (50 cents off ice cream for each family member), so he took us all in and bought us ice cream; ice cream for 4 people cost him just under $7, which is actually AWESOME, especially considering I got special stuff (gelato? I think that's what it's called... Italian ice cream, I got chocolate-hazelnut flavor!) that was like, $3.50.

SUCH good prices. I totally have to go there again.

And it was so hot today that ice cream was definitely appreciated!

So then after that, they went down to the A&P with me to get some misc. groceries that I needed to pick up (toilet paper, rice, raisins, peaches). I had money for the groceries, but that's why I didn't have any for other stuff. ^_^;; Eheheh...

Then we came home, and I crashed because I was SO BLOODY TIRED. It was so hot and muggy, and heat does that to me. Not to mention wandering around for several hours. So I went to lay down in the nice air conditioning in Mom and Lee's room (I'm going to miss their awesome air conditioners when I have to go home! ;-; *sniffle* lol) for a while, and ended up falling asleep.

Then I woke up a little while later with another headache. -.-;;

But in general, it was a pretty decent day. :)
