my kitty bit me. pretty good.

they were quick at the e.r., though. (you haveta go cuzza virulent cat spit.) they have complimentary valet parking at the e.r. it was weird to be getting valet parked like that.

today was a lousy day for my hand and for my finances. and sort of in other ways too, and sort of not. trying not to get down about the email i just sent. on the Spike Lee Scale (of Doing the Right Thing) it was up there, i think.

was it derangingsusana who pointed us to that study of how we (people) hate to close doors, when doors represent options, even when it's fairly obviously not in our interest? some clicky quiz in a NY Times article about the psychology, i think from that book Predictably Irrational, or w/e it's called? i got in line for that one with the library.

okay, next i'm gonna post the poem i was gonna post before things kinda got away from me today. then a take-it-easy night, and tomorrow will come tomorrow.

Yikes! Sorry to hear about the hand. Hope kitty is in a better mood.

It was Predictably Irrational

It was Predictably Irrational, and the study showed that people keep on investing in keeping options (doors) open even if this is not the rational thing to do, and even if it costs them.

I had to go to the ER for a cat bite once. I felt like a real wuss, sitting there with my two little puncture wounds, competing for care & attention with people in car wrecks or suffering heart attacks and broken limbs. But they told me I was the 4th cat bite that weekend!

Ow. Poor Lisa. Hope the pain fades soon. Any pain killers come with that stitching up? Cats can be a bitch to vet. I've been accidentally bitten by Rufus. I was walking him and he grabbed something gross and started to eat it-- it was too dark out for me to tell what it was, but being the fearless, dedicated mom that I am, I reached in his mouth to grab it out--mid-chew, as it turned out. For a minute it hurt so much I felt light-headed, but no blood or anything. Sounds like yours was a lot worse. Glad you got treatment.

I'm curious about your e-mail. Hmmm. I haven't receieved any from you lately.

Dang, girl. Stuff's been going on with you. So sorry about the bite. We need to talk soon--it's been way too long.
