So first things first... I came home from work halfway through my day. Went in with a low-to-mid grade migraine. Hoped it would go away or be tolerable for work. Not so much. Got worse as the morning went on. Hell, my boss basicallly said "It's the weather, isn't it? All the thunder and lightning and wind?" Which is pretty much what it was. So
shatterpathcame and got me, then we dropped Dace [the car] off to get her oil changed & her 45k maintenance. They shuttled us home and I ate my lunch, then headed to a nice long nap. Gabe decided that he needed to protect Mama and lay next to me, facing the door [remember, I've rearranged my room a couple weekends ago]. It's very sweet when he does that... He's gotten quite astute at reading my health and getting more affectionate when I'm not feeling well.
Doggie [aka
shatterpath, for those new to the nickname] made twice dipped cube steak tonight for dinner. First a layer of bread crumbs, then a layer of panko, and pan fried. Dayum, but that was yummy. Except I keep wanting to call it TUBE steak... thanks to a certain male muse who shall remain nameless [ but his initials are Muse!Gabe]. It's just wrong, man!
Speaking of Doggie, tomorrow is her 39th birthday. The first 39th. *smirks* The real one. We're going to watch our DVD of Up after work tomorrow night... And then I'll give her the couple things I've gotten for her. Nothing much, but things that I'm sure she'll like.
And speaking of birthdays... In 24 days, I shall be 40. I'm both looking forward to this and dreading it. Go figure...
And last, but not least... Before I go to bed, I want to update my words counts because I don't think I have yet... The first one is for my challenge last month. No, I didn't write 500 words every day, nor did I even write every day, but I DID manage to make my goal... And the second? That's my NaNo word count to date. For those of you on that filter, do you want to see more? Did you like what I posted so far? Let me know...

Okay, so I lied. This appears to be the last thing... Don't forget to sign up for the Inner Child Secret Santa 2009. The signups are on
LJ and
DW. You have until 11:59pm PST on Monday, 16 November 2009 to sign up if you want to play...
And I need to set up a post for holiday cards. Hopefully that'll be tomorrow... For now? I need to head to bed...
