Yesterday Shivs had a lot more weird looking wounds on his back so Lilli Ann came to take him to the vet while I went to a BBQ for a housewarming of one of the Greenpeace staff. It was out by Golden Gate park so that made for a really gorgeous bike ride through a really nice district of San Francisco. Lots of food and people, although sadly most of the Greenpeacers didn't arrive until we were almost ready to go. But oh well, it was still nice to go.

Lilli Ann brought Shivs home from the vet finally with a shaved patch on his back and a cone around his head to keep him from biting it at past midnight. We pressed a cloth with warm water against his wounds on his back as instructed. Poor guy, they were planning on doing a biopsy and they gave him a sedative but he reacted strangely and ended up acting completely hyper instead so they had to insert an IV to wash out his system. This morning we tried giving him the antibiotics he's supposed to take and he ended up throwing them up, so we might have to take him into the vet again. :( I think there was an infection under the skin because there was a lot of puss seeping out from the wounds, but hopefully it's clearing up now/

Today, after all the kitty cat drama I went out (in the same direction as yesterday) to meet up with Amy at the Haight St. art festival. It was pretty awesome. The amount of marijuana related material for sale there was insane, I think ever fifth stand was selling pipes. And someone was sitting on the road selling ganja cookies. But there was lots of other really cool stuff - awesome art, cool T-shirts, interesting petitions and yummy food and freshly squeezed lemonade! It was fun. Just as we were about to leave we noticed some people yelling from an upstairs window right on Haight and Ashbury in someone's house. They had a big sign held up to the window that said "Show Us Your Boobs" and were throwing down prizes to anyone who did. We did not partake.

When I got home I knew Aaron and Mandi were out and Lilli Ann had left and I walk into my room and saw someone lying on my bed. It only took me a few seconds to realize it was Brady, a close friend of Nadia's, just hanging out with Shivs who I said could come over anytime but it definitely freaked me out for a moment. And that is my day, my life, in a nutshell. Cross your fingers for Shivs and I am super stoked for another week of work starting tomorrow! :)
