She had a really bad episode tonight. She fainted in the middle of the yard while pooping. (Any kind of stress causes her trouble.) I carried her limp body inside and felt for her heartbeat. It was steady but much slower than normal. Arrhythmia. She was out of it for a good 10 minutes, her big eyes just lifeless. She then slowly recovered over an hour.
Now me, I had just gotten back from having a dead battery in north Philly. There's nothing so invigorating as waiting for a tow company for a jump start, in the hood, at night. And when I got home, my main hard drive tanked on me, as it's going intermittent while it too is dying.
And this is why I drink, because even though it's a slow poison, it's slower than everything else around me right now.
