Feeling Better

Boris is doing better....right now he seems perfectly normal. That makes me so happy! Last night at this time we had him loaded in our van... taking him to the all night emergency clinic. He just kept walking around like a zombie, drooling and staring at the wall... it was like he was responding to the time cues that he normally followed but didn't have the energy respond normally. At 10:40p.m. he was standing next to our bed like he was ready to wake us up for work.....but he wasn't wagging his tail or jumping up on us. He was just standing there, drooling and not responding to his name or any commands. It was very creepy in a fearful future way. Joe and I both were afraid that he had fried his brains with a high fever, and that we were going to have a zombie dog for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, once he hit the cold air and had the excitement of going in the car he perked up. He began looking around in an alert receptive way, so we just went home.
Today I cooked him some rice and he ate it .... he drank some water .... and now he is bugging me while I write this wanting to play tug with a little stuffed duck I bought him at Walgreens today. ...and I don't mind a bit!

We ate at Outback Steakhouse today..... it has been harder to go since the Fox Point restaurant closed... That's where we had our wedding reception 3 years ago (June 16th 2006) There were only 7 people at our wedding, including us, so we all fit nicely at the table.

I spent a little time at Half Priced Books today.... and I found some really cool stuff. This is what I bought.

Shadow Warriors- 1st season box set
Primal Myths-Creation Myths Around the World
The Gods of The Egyptians-Studies in Egyptian Mythology Vol.1
The Egyptian Book of the Dead
Myths Dreams and Religion- Edited by Joseph Campbell
American Tall Tales
Hello Kitty Haiku Note Cards

I am a little worried though... sometimes if I buy too many books I don't read them... they end up on the shelf.... and I buy something new before I get to them. If I buy just one book I tend to obsess over it a little more.
I just finished How We Believe-Science Skepticism and the Search for God by Michael Shermer.I am also reading Transformations of Myth Through Time out loud to Joe...... usually while he is playing Legends of wrestling... :) Don't get me wrong I am not slighting him in any way, he is involved in what I am reading.... I love the conversations we have. I just mentioned it because I find it slightly funny too....
I have to admit wrestling is one of the few topics that I totally zone out and do the "yes honey- oooh that's nice" thing on. Usually, we have similar interests... I skew more into anime than him, he knows more about It's A Living.... but we are on the same page. With this I play typical girl.... and I have no clue. I feel bad about that in a way because It seems like I could tap into this nostalgia wave with him... but.... I'm lost, and there is really no one else to share it with.
This is getting long and unwieldy... I better go, It is time to wake up Joe and watch a horror movie!!!!
