Fr 12/4/20- Buddy Is Still On The Mend

 Fr 12/4/20- Buddy Is Still On The Mend

***Buddy is eating like a horse, but I don't know if this is a sign of health or a symptom of his overactive thyroid. And, I think I will begin the gel-pen later this afternoon when I return from the afternoon walk. I can monitor him for several hours before bed and hopefully if there is a negative reaction it will be before Brewer closes on Saturday. And just hope that the medication works and he can begin the treatment for his thyroid condition. 

CHANGE OF PLANS: By early afternoon I've decided to wait and begin the gel-pen tomorrow morning, Saturday, just after I get up.  That will give him three doses before I call Dr. Kirk on Monday afternoon and if Buddy has a bad reaction the hospital will be open on Monday. 

Up 8am: Bright and sunny with temps in the upper 40's.

Reserved 'THE KING' and 'TRAIN TO BUSAN PRESENTS: PENINSULA' (Hoopla). The premise reminded me of Donald Westlake's 'DROWNED HOPES'. A large stash of cash is left behind after some kind of disaster and a criminal gang goes back to get it. 'DROWNED HOPES' was a town submerged because of a dam, and in 'PENINSULA' it's a zombie apocalypse in Korea.

Description at IMDB:

"A zombie virus has in the last 4 years spread to all South Korea. 4 Koreans in HK sail through the blockade to Incheon for USD20,000,000 on a truck.

I enjoyed it. Nothing like a gutsy (pun intended!) zombie virus film to take your mind off the problems at hand. This film was a sequel and the first one, 'TRAIN TO BUSAN' is available on Amazon Prime and now in my queue. 

Then another episode of  'LEAH REMINI: Scientology And The Aftermath' (Netflix).

150pm: Parkview, Country Club, Laurel, north on Lincoln through the center of the park, back west on the northside and up the hill, Fairway, and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 30 MINS...Mp3...91.9FM-NPR...

Read 'THE ETHICAL ASSASSIN' for an hour in the living room. 

520pm: ON THE TREADMILL... 2 MILES. I watched most of an episode of 'THE CROWN'.

In the tub with DAVID LISS and listening to THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET, MODERN ENGLISH. 

***I've given Buddy almost an entire can of Frisky for the last two days. He's still yelling for more. He's pooping and pissing just fine and I'm going to make notes to empty his box on Wednesday as well as Saturday to cut down on the urinary infections. Can a dirty litter box cause infections? This is a question that I must ask Dr. Kirk.

I watched the Netflix disc 'EYE IN THE SKY'. An American/British drone strike on a terrorist suicide cell in Kenya kills a young girl selling loaves of bread outside the compound. American military techs in bases in Nevada launch rockets with exacting precession at targets on the far side of the globe, but isn't this just another more deadly form of terrorism?; with Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, and Alan Rickman. Not a bad film, but could have been better.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix).
