Just got back from the vets and it turns out that Cisco has a nasty skin infection, like superdooper nasty but nothing that can't be treated with a really nice run of antibiotics. I can get the antibiotics through work dirt cheap so the appointment cost about half of what i budgeted so AWESOMENESS on that.

Also - it was about the time for Cisco's eye appointment so we did both today. It seems that his rate of deterioration has gone way down so he's not going blind nearly as quickly as the vet predicted. In fact, he's at the point that the vet predicted he'd be at four months ago so he's doing really well on that end as well.

Today might have started out like crap but it got way better. Plus, my mum took me out to lunch so I had these amazingly awesome chicken pesto panini that rocked my socks.

Now if Cisco will respond to the antibiotics well... *fingers crossed*

Last night, Nala comes up to me, proud as can be and dropped a black "thing" in my hand. Turns out, according to the bug guy that came to our house today, it's a wolf spider. The thing was as big as my first knuckle of my ring finger and that measures about an inch long. The thing was frelling HUGE. Poor ficlette had to deal with me freaking out about it as it was right before bedtime. UGH, did not sleep most of the night due to nightmares of giant spiders eating me while I slept. I hate bugs. HATE HATE HATE them. OMG HATE.

Finally - The rpg_prophet announced that hex_files and stoatshead_hill are the newest games to be covered over there. We're looking for an editor to fill in for now, if anyone's interested, send us an email at rpgprophet[at]gmail[dot]com.

Yay! I'm glad Cisco's issue is treatable, and that his eyes are doing better than expected! That's great news. :)

... Was the spider dead? Just wondering.

:) Yep, it's just a really bad skin infection. According to the vet, his skin looks like Jessica Simpson before that zit medicine helped her out *winks*.

Spider was dying when she put it in my hand. I actually put it in a container and saved it for the bug guy. I weighted the lid down with rocks and stuff just in case. The thing was THAT fucking huge.

lol okay here's a few creepy stories... funny.. but yet creepy.

spiders don't make me scream... but i will kill them on site (unless they are too big and would make a huge mess...then i run away).

when we just got our house, we bought it as a HUD home... so no one had lived in it for a year or two. when we were cleaning, my fiance and his dad went down to the basement, and in the back coal cellar, they found a wolf spider as big as my fiance's hand. no shitting! i wasn't even there and i flipped out. and just a few months ago... i found out that they didn't even kill the bastard, but they took it out to the woods across the street and released it! i about died. then.. this last fall... i was laying in a my bed, and felt something tickling my chest (i was wearing a low cut cami) and i brushed it, and a spider was there! a wolf spider none the less. that damn thing did that 3 nights in a row, cause afterwards when i felt it on me, i quickly brushed it away and it would disappear. i swear, it was stalking me. i finally managed to kill it, but couldn't sleep well for weeks. goes to show that good deeds to big ass spiders only come back to bite you in the ass.

on a funnier note... when i was about 12, i was at my lakehouse, and i was using the upstairs bathroom (in the loft). i peed, then after i was done, stood up and turned around while still pulling up my shorts, going to flush the toilet. when i looked at the toilet, i noticed a big ass wolf spider flopping around in the water, still alive. the thing was like 3 inches with the legspan! so of course... i started yelling like crazy, and my grandma came up the stairs thinking something horrible had happened. instead, she found me with my shorts back down around my ankles, yelling at the toilet, screaming about how i had peed on a live spider. to this day... i always look in the toilet before i go to the bathroom, even in my own house.

when i walk in the woods i wave my hand back and forth in front of me to make sure i don't run into any spider webs. hahha. i'm a dork... i know.

oh great jumping jesus, seriously? OMG OMGOMGOMG so this thing was just a baby? OMG, there could be mommies out there in my yard? OMG

LOL. it makes me sooo glad that it's like... zero degrees where we are. i'm hoping to hell that all those little buggers freeze to death. i even had our entire house sprayed last fall cause i was freaking out... and the yard.

too bad my cat doesn't ever hunt anything except my glasses of water... he doesn't even chase flies hardly. lol.

Oh jesus christ I would have flipped a fucking shit if my dog had brought that to me. Let alone the fact I knew something like that was in my house.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Dude, we had that thing in a tuperware container that then had a sealed lid that we taped down and then weighted down with a pitcher full of those glass beads/pebbles so there was no way that fucker was getting out of there. although, with the story just above, I'm freaking the fuck out that there are huge mommy spiders that are like 3 inches big out there now. OMG eweweweweweweweewewewewew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[irrevokable.livejournal.com]
