Yesterday I didn't have such a good day. I slept a lot, and was very weak and achy... eating a bowl of popcorn was torture because my arm felt like it was going to fall off! I also had a fever and couldn't really concentrate on anything. I think I feel a little better today, but we'll see how the day goes.

D-cat had his annual checkup and his tooth-cleaning "surgery" yesterday. He came home heavily sedated and spent most of the evening snuggled up against me. He's finally allowed to eat... poor guy had to go almost 36 hours with no food. Now he has an antibiotic to take and it's very difficult to give it to him. Also, the vet told us that he's going to die of renal (kidney) disease. However, his kidneys have been abnormal for years, and he eats a special diet for them, and isn't doing any worse than he ever was. So it's not like "He's going to die in a few months!" it was "When he dies, it's most likely going to be because of his kidneys." He's 11 years old & still doing well.

Not much else going on. Mom is late for school. It's cold here, in the lower 40s with a wind-chill factor in the 20s (for the uninformed, in FL that's the equivalent of zero-weather in the northeast). I have some deliveries coming today, my shirts and my plane tickets. I need to drop Autumn a line and ask her about the kinds of things I need to bring with me. I did my pee test yesterday, and I need to get that in the mail. Other than that, I'm just going to rest and maybe read today.

I just ordered THIS SHIRT. I would have waited if it hadn't been a limited edition, but since they only made 500 of them... I decided to go for it.

I have been accomplishing small things today... called for Airborne pickup of my lab specimens (which have to go overnight in a freezer pack to a lab in Kansas), and got my plane tickets from FedEx. Still waiting for the shirts etc. I ordered last week.

Was talking to T. and Ragdoll on AIM earlier and was messaged out of the blue from Meg, a girl I knew when I was about eighteen to twenty or so. Very cool, strange girl, very theatrical & intelligent. An oddity. A few years younger than me, she was a friend of the C-Princess. Anyway, I chatted with her for a while.

She's finishing up at music school, wants to be a broadway star. Going to NYC in a while to throw herself on the mercy of fate (with help in funding, at least). I wished her luck. Then she told me that, a while ago, she had been drinking a lot because she had dated my Evil Ex! So we nattered about him for a while. It turns out she broke up with a physicist she'd dated for a few years to date him. And sorely regrets it.

The Evil Ex has no prospects in life. Seriously. He's intelligent and talented but completely and totally hapless, absent-minded, and overdramatic. I asked her if he'd treated her like shit (which is a common theme in his relationships) and she said, "No, not shit... just... he's too preoccupied with the grand horrors of the world to pay attention to the actual people in his life." I amended that to "He's too preoccupied with what he sees as the grand horrors of his world and how they affect poor little him to take note of the fact that there ARE other people in his life." She laughed and agreed. Then we agreed that he is probably a tool demons throw in the path of otherwise hep young ladies to tempt them to mess up their lives. (We are bitter, yes.)

Anyway, it's cold outside, and windy. I'm happy that Meg is doing well. I'm waiting for deliveries and pickups, and wondering how Ragdoll is holding up (she was losing it when I talked to her earlier, since home chaos seems to be at a fever-pitch today). I'm going to call my mom and ask her if/how she got the stain out of my weird Cosmic "Mother's Little Helper" tee that I stained months ago and was upset about. I'm going to go read or something. Or something. Yeah, that's what I'll do.

like, where'd you hide the scooby snacks, man?

I am so frightened by this photo, words cannot express.

Dude, that's just not... I mean... dude.

I am hostage to UPS. :P

Still not over the horror that caused the last entry. So there.

(this is me, propping myself up so I don't fall asleep while waiting for UPS.)

OK, so I have to admit that their Velma looks pretty cool. I think I'm more of a Velma now. But when I was a kid I wanted to be Daphne. Ptooie.
(I should have titled that entry with the pic "ruh-roh, Ragghy!")

I gave up on UPS and fell asleep for three hours. Turned out that they didn't need the signature, so when I woke up my package was here. The shirts are adorable (the Curious George shirts are more glittery than I thought they'd be, supercute!) and the cellphone cover is pretty nice too... I snuck and put it on the phone when my mom got home, but she hasn't seen it yet. I can't try anything on yet because I just put most of my bras in the washer without thinking. Tomorrow maybe.

Going to finish my laundry, read, and go back to sleep. Far from last week's insomnia, I'm a raging ball of Nap. *yawn*

(oh yeah... and I am way way behind on reading my friends' entries. I'll try to catch up, but not tonight!)
