hope_persists) picked me up and ran a ton of errands with me. We went to UMASS so I could initial some paper for my new job, and then she took me to lunch at Judie's which was YOM YOM, and then we hit some stores. Then we went on The Great Cat Food Debacle 2006.
My big cat Daedalus eats Hill's Prescription Diet c/d because he at one time had crystals in his urine (FLUTD) that made him pee blood and it was very sad. So we buy this food that costs a million dollars and life has been fine for nearly eight years. Well, we're out of food. So I go to a vet. They tell me they will not sell it to me "without a prescription." So we go to Jessica's vet. They say the same thing. Mind you, we are OUT of cat food. And Daedalus hasn't seen a vet since I lived in Ohio.
So finally Vet #2 gives me the number of a vet that "might be lax" and tells me to try there. And the nice lesbian lets me buy a 4lb bag of c/d without a prescription. Yeah! Daedalus can eat tonight. (Otherwise he would eat me.)
I called a vet in Easthampton and was asking them about the prescription policy and they told me I could just bring in my old vet records instead of needing a prescription faxed. So I can get a bigger bag of cat food tomorrow, which is good because we try to buy 20lb. at a time. (This stuff's expensive, so any little discount helps. Plus, all the cats eat it.)
It's just so silly, this prescription business. My cat food isn't harmful to unaffected cats (ask Ralph, who's been eating it for 7+ years) and really, would I pay $40/bag if I didn't have to and could buy cheaper stuff at the store? Do people try to sell this stuff on the black market? I don't get it!
Big love to Jessica for taking me to 3 vets and listening to my whining.

So far I've only had some spotting today (some brown, some pink). Of course I'm paranoid that I did too much today but I'm laying pretty low tomorrow (except for the cat food run, I think) and really, all we can do is see what happens. I know that I can not cause, nor prevent, a miscarriage.
Tonight is dinner withvorpalbla's parents. They are nice people and it is nice that they are making us dinner. But I've only met them once (when Jeff and I got laid off from the shelter) and Jen has never met them, so it should be interesting!
