This week has just been horrible! Your Hotep has had all kinds of awful things happening. Do you ever feel like sometimes the Fates are just playing with you? That no matter what you do, things are going to be awful for a period of time? Well, the Hotep has had just such a series of events and suffers from feelings of despair and often pain. Let me share what has happened to me, and why my work and rituals have suffered in the last week!
First, on Thursday last one of my keepers went to Marshall and picked up a Jackal at the Super 1. It had either run away or been abandoned. For whatever reason, the keeper felt compelled to bring it home. Hoteps loathe jackals! They are enemies of all Hoteps and all felines everywhere. So why, I ask you, would my keeper bring a Jackal into our happy Hotep home? I cannot imagine, but it upset everything. Cliocatra was even more livid than I. For once, actually, we bonded and shared our keeper's bed one night, just to avoid that awful Jackal smile. Here is a picture of the offending creature. My keeper called it a Catahoula Lepard Dog, but it was a Jackal. No use whitewashing it.
My keepers kept saying it was very sweet and well-behaved, but I knew better. It licked me and tried to wash my ears. You do not approach a Hotep in that manner! But in this matter, your persistent Hotep prevailed. The jackal was taken to Dr. Seymore's Vet clinic for boarding until a home can be found for it. Hopefully in another country!!
Then, no sooner had the jackal been sent to perdition than my left back leg began to hurt. I was limping badly, and my keepers could not find a problem, so then what happened? Your Hotep was hauled off to Dr. Seymore's too! Dr. Seymore should sell shares in his practice to my keepers! They already own part of it.
Your Hotep had been accosted by the evil yellow feline from the lot next door to my home and I was getting another abscess on my leg! Plus another on my shoulder. I was fussed over by the ladies who work at the vet's office. They love me for I shower blessings on them whenever I am there. They were exclaiming over the fact that I've been working out at my food bowl. I have bulked up this winter and now weigh 14 lbs. A Hotep must keep in shape and be a manly Hotep if one is to perform priestly duties and shoot dice at night!
Dr. Seymore gave me 5 shots, plus put a magical substance between my shoulder blades to keep all fleas, ticks, and mites far away from me. I am at home, resting my leg and recovering. I went out this morning for a short walk but became tired very quickly. My keeper put some pain medicine in my ear and I am readying myself for a deep slumber. The Hotep dreams of you, his dear Readers, and plans new blessings and rituals. The first one is a way to eliminate that yellow feline!
And so, my Gentle Readers, you now know the saga of how the Fates dealt with your Hotep this week. I am sure to recover soon, and will be about my priestly duties once again. Until then, remember that life is wonderful and when terrible things happen we can always learn lessons to benefit us later. So if a jackal comes your way, or you get an abscess, look at it as a learning experience and think of the composed and slightly drugged Hotep, and smile!
