Steampunk Muskrats

Let’s see if that title gives muskratjohn any ideas:)

GOINGS ON AT THE HOUSE OF CROSS

I planted about 20 daylilies on Sunday. That leaves about 20 more to plant this weekend…IF the fuckin’ rain lets up. With any luck, I’ll be able to hit the garden hard this coming weekend.

I forgot to mention it some weeks ago (when I wrote about taking him to the vet), but Roscoe was diagnosed with a tumor that is pressing on his pituitary gland, thus causing some of his health problems. Given his advanced age and the tumor’s location, operating to remove it is not an option…even if we could afford it. He is doing very well…bladder control problems are really the only effect we can see…but he will have more problems as time goes on. Grace is giving him daily doses of amygdalin (vitamin B17), but it is too soon to know if it will help him any.

My plans to attend Origins in July may get tossed. My friend Spike (and his swell wife Mary and his cutie pie daughter Miranda) may not be able to get the time off work to go to the con. If so, I won’t be going, since I was gonna share their room AND nobody else I usually hang with will be there. If I do have to chuck my Origins plans, then I will most surely be going to GenCon SoCal next November.

And now, off to bed.
