Damn. That almost makes me wish I had HBO. I desperately want to get it, but I've yet to be able to justify to myself a good reason to spend an extra $20 a month on my cable bill. I'm woefully behind on my Sopranos-watching, anyway. I pretty much lost track of it after the woman who played James Gandolfini's mother died, and they did that whole reanimation/dramatic cyborg thing to write her into a scene post-mortem. Latest news in KateLand is that LazarusTheCat has some weird infection in his lower half that makes his urine form "crystals" that basically act like little razor blades on the inside of his bladder. He's not happy, and neither am I, considering the following factors: 1. My cat is sick, so I'm very worried. I always thought that pet insurance was a ridiculous idea, but now I'm beginning to reconsider.
2. The vet can't figure out what the hell is causing the problem, so I'm even more worried.
3. The above means that I've now shelled out $450 to the vet for two urinalyses, a blood test, a pathology report, x-rays, miscellaneous office exam fees, and two types of kitty antibiotics.
4. I have to shove a pill down Lazarus' throat once a day, which means that my hands are basically clawed to hell.
