Hermes
More to come. Just a portrait today. He was kind enough to pose for me, while staring out the window at his girlfriend (a little stray calico that he has been told in no uncertain terms will NOT be coming in the house).

Hermes
Have you had enough Hermes yet?
While he's over his initial eye infection and the URI, he now has pink eye in the other eye and worms, likely contracted from Smokey, our black lab (eventually, they will get represented on here, too, even though they technically belong to my parents and I don't normally live with him).
The last few weeks, everything has happened at once and all of it has been expensive. I'm hoping that one day soon I'll have a paycheck that isn't completely spoken for a week before I get it. I don't even have money to get a bottle of water or a bag of chips when I'm work. I think the last time I was this broke, I was in elementary school and earning nickles for dusting the baseboards.
As a distraction, here is another comic strip. Click on it to make it bigger.

ESP Fail
(click to enlarge)
We are all still sick. Turns out my allergic reaction decided overlap with either regular allergies or a cold, I don't know what, but I slept for eleven hours last night and still had trouble getting out of bed.
Hermes however, seems to be doing better. I've been cranking out these strips at a surprising rate, but at the loss of my daily writing goal. I'm having a little trouble with my current set of scenes, so I'm welcoming any distraction I can find. Before I go in to work today though, I want to sit down and give Cassie a serious workover, though.
If you haven't been keeping track, I do have the third Cassie novel up on Fiction Press, along with the first two, so you are welcome to go read them. I post a new chapter every two weeks.

The Eyes Have It.
Conjunctivitis, that is. My poor baby had to go to the vet today. His eye has been runny all week. I knew he’d have to go to the vet, but was trying to put it off until I had a paycheck in my hand. Then this afternoon I noticed that it was swollen. No more procrastination. My vet is a saint and took a post-dated check.
It has been a Week here at chez KnotMagick. I’ve been picking up hours at the Discount Retailer, even though I wasn’t set to officially start back until Sunday. I ended up calling in sick though, because on Saturday night I had an allergic reaction to a granola bar I brought as a snack for my break. Why do all health food companies find it necessary to add soy to all of their products?
Anyway, my throat swelled up--not enough to merit a trip to the ER, thankfully, but I ended up staying in bed until 1 the next afternoon. I’m pretty much back to normal now, but I had a moment of panic when the vet gave Hermes his antibiotic, then handed me the box and told me to give it to him twice a day for a week. If you’ve never given a cat meds before, then let me tell you, it’s a very messy process involving claws and teeth. It took me, a vet tech, and the vet to hold Hermes down so that ointment could be applied to his eye (another fun chore I get for the next seven days). But the antibiotic he gave me was amoxicillin--along with it’s sister med, penicillin, these are the two things I am most allergic to. I informed the vet of this, and he swapped it out for Liquid Gold, which is what we call penicillin substitutes around here, since a one week supply for a human runs upwards of $80. Thankfully, both prescriptions plus the office visit only came in at $55, which, ironically, is the cheapest vet bill I’ve had since I got him.
I’ve had kitty on the brain lately. If I wasn’t living with my parents and their dogs, I’d be tempted to get him a sibling (actually, I’m still tempted, but I like my head on my shoulders and I’m pretty sure my dad would kill me). Alice and my friend T keep telling me I need to make a Hermes comic strip, so while I was sick that was exactly what I did. He’s just such a character, I’m surprised it took me this long. I’m looking forward to spending time with him this summer. I’ve missed the furry little demon.
