The beautiful and lovely (but now quadruped) InterVenus DeMilo has apparently become somewhat temoprarily enamored, as well as somewhat temporarily attatched, to VT's legs. She seems to be at least an approximate version of her old state of mind as she apoligizes to me as we shake hand and right forefoot.

I have become somewhat enamored of Burn Unit Nurse Mary Ellen Cauterize in Ms.DeMilo's abscence and I seem to be making some slow progress on that front, even if it isn't quite slow-burning love at this point, and she was running right behind me in the procession, so I'd better be careful.

I don't have long to ponder, as right about the same time that I asked which toe would her engagement ring go on, she looks upward and sees the directional sigh pointing down the hall towards the Radiology Lab and proceeds to jump up and gallop down the hallway on all fours with a look of fury on her face. I'd rather stay and let Mary Ellen pleasurably hold me up and hand feed me my meds while I play needy, but I realize that the reason that this all hadn't been broken up by Nurse Ratched a while ago, is that she might be trysting again (like she did last summer?) with InterVenus's former fiancee, The Weird Guy From Radiology, who must have pocketed the engagement ring for good and thought he'd moved on in his life.

I tell the others what's happening and tell them we'll catch up later, but the mood with Mary Ellen has been broken and we get up, shrug and hurry along with the crowd. Is wincingdevil still around with his camera?.....
