Finally home! We went on a whirlwind vacation--my sister-in-law is in town from overseas on her annual summer journey, so we went to Tennessee to meet up with paladin's family. We had a wonderful time but I definitely have not so much as glanced at anything on Dreamwidth and don't really plan to do so until tomorrow, so. Yeah.

I started out my long weekend by having paladin drag my iMac to the Apple Store (look, that bastard is heavy and awkward, okay.) The Genius Bar guy confirmed my assessment that it was the power supply, and it'll cost about $100 to fix and barring other things being found wrong with it, I'll have it back within 5 days. He asked me if I had it ( Read more... )

My brain is an oozing pile of nope right now, which is to be expected, given novel finishing, but I still resent it. Though, I did realize that

It's so nice outside. SO NICE. It has been beautiful for like 3 days and it's perfect and I'm so thrilled. (Back to more seasonable/chilly/rainy weather tomorrow, but for now - it's 80 degrees and sunny and I am made of bliss.)

Ganon has discovered a new game, and this game is bedmice. We got a comforter for the bed that's thicker/stiffer than the blanket we had before, so he can see shapes moving under it but not details. It is the absolute best game ever. When we go to bed he immediately jumps up and attacks whatever's moving with great enthusiasm ( Read more... )

The presentations were mostly good, with the exception of one person who actively ( Read more... )

Update on kitty: they couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. They did an endoscopy (to the tune of $1200, sob) but found nothing except some slightly irritated areas, which they are doing biopsies upon. Meanwhile I think she caught a cold at the vet's; poor darling is sneezing her silly head off. But she seems happy enough; they gave me ( Read more... )

Today was full of raegsmashy things. Instead of being rageful, I present the following:

We all need more adorable kittens in sync with each other. (Hat tip to

I do not know why I am so tired come the weekend, these days, but I could really do with getting rid of this. I fell asleep before 11 on Friday night, and slept until 8:30. Then took an hour and a bit nap yesterday afternoon, with the cat.

But I did get a few things of note accomplished yesterday; namely, I got my hair cut. And it is fabulous. ( Read more... )
