One Abnormal Girl

Almost as much as I do.

Didn’t get up until a bit past 1pm today, which isn’t usual for me lately, thanks to my INCESSANT JOB.  GOD.  I guess it isn’t so bad being productive during the weekends by being up at a decent hour, though.  But I had a good excuse today.  Julien came home from the vet this morning–which I was awake for, and he’s a sore but cuddly kitty, and snoozing together is mucho quality time.  He had a mass removed from behind his knee, same stupid thing as what he had removed three years ago, which is not good.  They’re optimistic that they got all of it out, but it’s aggressive and fast-growing and it could come right back from the tiniest remnant of itself.  But without radiation (or amputation), this is what we have to work with.

Despite my late hour of rising I still did things today.  I picked up some soft food for him (he also got his teeth cleaned) and as long as I was up there I picked up some cake batter ice cream from Cold Stone.  This is my favorite flavor.  It used to be so good that the FDA made them stop selling it.  Now it’s back, presumably less heart-disease-inducing.  One can hope.

Still getting settled into the new place.  It smells a little less weird, and I have a platform for the bed, and both my dressers, AND my old computer desk, so I have everything I need to function.  There are, of course, things I still need to outfit the place like an adult (a kitchen table, coffee table, shelving, a kitchen cart, etc. etc. etc.) but it’ll get there.  And I haven’t painted yet, but I will.  I’ll have to change it back before I go, so the sooner I do it, the longer I can enjoy it before I return it to this blah blah eggshell gloss.  Blegh.

It’s also going to take me a few months to get through this laundry.  I can only carry so much to the laundromat at once, people.  I need a go-cart.

I AM ALSO MISSING CRYOGENIA‘S BIRTHDAY UP NORTH ILU AND I MISS YOU AND I’M SORRY I COULDN’T BE THERE D:

So crazyloststar and I made a pact to participate in Jannowrimo, which is like NaNoWriMo, except it’s during January, which has less going on.  She went with a goal of 25,000, and I decided to be realistic with myself and go with 15,000.  I started out with a story about an android, but it was too hard, so then I went with something else on day 4.  I am on target!  I hope I can make it, though I don’t imagine there will be an ending.  Original fiction just isn’t as rewarding.

Went home for Christmas, but before I did, Julien and I had a little Christmas time so he could have his new toys and wear his Christmas hat.

(If you’re arriving here via the Hemingway WordPress comment I left, I ended up switching to Lightbox, so it’s no longer relevant.  Thanks for taking a look, though. :) )

Just uploaded some kitteh pictures to my Photobucket, d’aw. See ‘em under the cut.
