The Gay Bar opening Friday night was excellent and Hazel Dean (remember her from the 80's - Searching and Over You?) was brilliant! Curt and Vince got along fine, infact it was Curt who asked for a word with Vince to explain about us 'going out as friends' incase he had a problem with it, which he doesn't - so everything was good.
Unfortunately at the moment for every good thing that happens I also seem to get a bad thing. My cat, Millie, became lame over the weekend resulting in us taking her to the vet. Millie has always walked with a limp due to arthritis but she was unable or unwilling to put any weight onto her one leg. Now Millie is grumpy at best and this made her downright cantankerous! The vet gave her a couple of injections which seemed to ease her leg for a couple of days and on Monday she was given some medication to take for a week. Things seemed to be going ok until last night when she again seemed reluctant to put any weight onto her leg. I'm keeping an eye on her but I'm not really sure what the long term outcome is going to be. I really don't want her to be in pain; she doesn't go out (agrophoblic) and her only pleasure seems to be shedding her black fur on my cream duvet cover, but she then can't get off the bed without hurting the leg further, so I really don't know what will be the best for her.
Another good thing, I was able to put Vince onto my car insurance without any additional cost - YIPPEE and then the bad thing, my step-dad collapsed yesterday afternoon. Luckily I was there within 5 minutes by which time he had started to come round. After medical advice his blood pressure tablets have been halved, but it has badly shaken my Mom. So I guess my life is going to be like this from now on, good karma cancelled out by bad. Maybe this is just a transition phase and soon I'll be into the good karma only period - I do hope so!
Vince and I have also decided to go away in September, just the two of us, to a villa on Gozo, to be able to spend some quality couple time together. Have just booked the time off work and now I'm sitting here wondering what the next 'bad' thing to happen is going to be. Oh well, if I'm prepared it shouldn't be so much of a shock!
