not quite a GIP
So last time I scribbled possible icon pictures to pass time on public transit I ended up with this one, and I figured it might work as an icon for the "I just can't deal/look anymore, and wish I could hide under my blanket for the rest of my life" moments, as well as perhaps for ironic reference to that feeling. I'm just not sure whether it would work better with some kind of text, or whether I should leave it as it is. What do you think?
BTW I noticed that I haven't posted on my rat Dustin for a while. Unfortunately the tumor has so far only become more defined in its upper part not the lower, so the vet said that with it being so close to his penis they couldn't be sure to completely remove it. With his general health and breathing problems the operation isn't worth the risk when it is likely that he'd need to operate again, so the vet said the better option for now is to continue with the spider venom treatment as long as that works to contain its growth. So for now I'm bringing Dustin to the vet every four to five days for an injection. I don't really dare to inject him myself, because I can't really see how I'd be able to hold one rather uncooperative and struggling rat while injecting him safely at the same time all by myself. I mean, I guess there's techniques for this kind of thing, but well, even with the commute it's much less stressful to have the vet doing it while I just hold him. If I wasn't living alone and someone else could hold the rat while I handled just the injection it would be different, but not as it is.
