Just Flew In From The Vet in Hello

And boy are my arms tired.

Actually I knew there was no way I was going to get Smokey in the cat taxi. Mom called in to work to help me today. Had to wrap him in a towel and bear hug him the whole time. All in all about an hour total of holding him like that, not moving my arms but only a little. Sweet fucking christ do my shoulders and elbow area ache now!

Anyways, vet said he had an abscess on his paw, probably from a cat fight when he got out. He got an antibiotic shot to bring his temp down and relieve some of the infection. He curled up next to mom for a few hours when we got home before sauntering off for more privacy. At least my little buddy will be better.

I’ve got ribs on the grill currently. I’m thinking baked beans and maybe some fried taters (What’s taters, precious) for sides.

Got maybe a two hour nap in this morning before his vet visit. Finished book 9 of Dresden Files. There are some parts that have me cracking up laughing. Case in point, pretending to be gay when searching his brother’s apartment when a security guard and cop came to check on who he is. High rise apartment with a door guy, Harry stumbled across a war room in the guest bedroom with maps, pictures and lots of illegal guns when they knocked on the door. Hence the subterfuge. Good series all in all

Icy Hot time. Oh the pain

Update:

Hot damn those ribs were good!
Back in December I was invited to a Christmas gathering with mom’s coworker. (She needed me to drive heh) and the one hosting it gifted me with a Jim Beam BBQ set. Tongs, sauce brush and a spicy/sweet Jim Beam sauce. I finally tried it tonight on the ribs. Oh may gorsh were they good. So damn stuffed!

And I have enough for lunch tomorrow!

Smokey hasn’t come out of hiding so I’m assuming he’s in a nice pain free sleep. I hope.
