i got my bikini-line waxed this afternoon. it was fun! well... at least funny. the lady took me into a room and told me to lie down on the table, then left. i wasn't sure what to do or if i should remove my pants, so i just lied down. several minutes later she returned and told me to move right up to the top, then pulled this light/magnifying glass down towards my face. i wasn't sure what was going on, but i'd never had my bikini waxed before, so was being compliant. thankfully, at that point she said "so... we're just fixing up your eyebrows a little?" and i said "no... i'm getting my bikini waxed". she said "OH! well then. you're in the wrong room" then took me down the hall. i was relieved that i had not removed my pants like i had considered doing, that would've been super awkward. when i finally was in the right place, the waxing went smoothly. it didn't really hurt very much. it just stung for a second or two, then it was fine. she was fast. all in all my first waxing experience was un-tramatic and i would do it again.

there's something wrong with honey. she's very sick and quite likely dying if she doesn't start eating again. i was cuddling her last night and found she was smaller than usual, when i put her down i petted her back and discovered she's all skin & bones. i hadn't noticed she'd lost weight, but her back is all jaggy spine. throughout the day i've been trying to feed her wet food, but she just licks at it, i couldn't get her to drink any water, but she is now so that's good. i'm scared and upset. i feel frustrated and sad, she's only two. i will feel angry if she dies. i don't understand why my life has to contain such things so frequently. why can't i just be a regular person who has one pet for 10 years. but i guess it's just the way it goes, and isn't some kind of curse or pattern. and i shouldn't frame my circumstances that way. basically... i don't want her to die or be very sick. i want her to get better, to just be better. pekoe's fine, and a little oblivious that she's not well and keeps picking on her. i hope things take a turn for the better or i'll have to take her to the vet on tuesday. i'm going to mexico in a week, and i'd hate to leave my dad responsible for a sick kitty. he's already had several fish die on him when he's been pet-sitting them, he would be very upset if anything happened to the little missy under his care.

squint your eyes and look closer,
i'm not between you and your ambition.

adendum: i blended up some wet food (because she finds chunks hard to chew) and honey's been eating it for about 20 minutes straight! i'm encouraged by this act of vigor and interest in food.
