It has been the passing of multiple lunar cycles since the most recent of updates by the almighty Myself, particularly in consideration of the irregular notability therein. Let us begin where we regrettably failed to last continue.
Two months passed with no bathing, but I learned quickly that pooping in the bathtub without water is still more natural than on newspaper to Erik's delight. I didn't even notice the missing toe. Though what I did notice was the erection of invisible force fields all around the interior perimeter of my home. Who dares blaspheme?? It has been a source of great stress and frustration since. During this two-month period I was also on anti-biotics, which were not very cleverly concealed in my most favourite of treats, The Bread.
A whole bunch more time passed.
Erik was in Winnipeg on a trip for a couple of weeks, and so my suture-removal appointment was delayed a week. Upon his return and my imminent rescheduled vet visit, it was discovered that my stub healed well and the sutures simply dissolved, requiring no removal operation. However, after a handful of weeks of a return to regular activity and bathing, I began to feel way stressed. I think I am getting too big for my house. I need room to roam. Due to what must be stress I've lost my appetite and haven't eaten in, like, a month. Erik is worried, though I feel fine and continue to spend my waking hours scratching and clawing to get out of this force-field-enforced-Hell.
On that same note, Erik also picked up a new MegaRay UVB bulb from a local pet shop, Mister Pet, who happened to have one left. He was concerned that the UVB from the older bulb was losing its potency, and thus a cause of my behavior and lack of appetite. (It has been 2 months, also, since Erik placed an order with ReptileUV.com. There is no sign whatsoever that the bulb will ever arrive, after paying ~$60. They don't reply to emails; though Erik is reassured by the Green Iguana Society community that they are a reliable and reputable company, he has yet to interpret proof by any bloody means. (Fuck them!)) Erik has shown an interest in permitting my free-roaming in the near future in hopes to eleviate my stress and reboost my eating and pooping habits.
In closing, we'll add some photos that we promised two months ago, regarding my shrivelled, dying toe :(
Also, happy birthday to Tom!
