Yet an other birthday under my belt, another anniversary with the guy, and a new kitten at home to replace the four I lost last year (and he's doing a great job at it ( Read more... )

Many thanks for your support regarding my last post. I'm fine, and thankfully the cats are fine too. No sign of illness, save for a few litterbox accidents, that are not alarming, just NaNo-distracting. *sigh ( Read more... )

Summer is over, and good riddance. I hate summer. Nothing good has happened to me in summertime and all my summers of the last 15 years sucked. My favorite time has always been October to March. Spring, not so much, because it means summer is close. Argh ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's been so long since I've last updated this! *hangs head in shame*

Writing: Unbelievable though it seems, I've started a new story. It's the retelling of an ancient Egyptian tale, and since the plotline is pretty much set, I can play a bit with the characters. I'll see how it turns out. And I think I'll probably finish my earlier ( Read more... )

It's HOT here, around 38C. That's not the bad thing - what's bad is the humidity that sticks on your skin and gives you trouble breathing. I miss winter SO very much.

The kittens are still here, still growing, still adorable, and still in need of a home. I'll go post some fliers later, because the heat makes me drowsy in the morning. I'm thinking ( Read more... )

Really, really hot here. 37C (~98.6F)at noon, which feels closer to 45C (~113F) in the middle of the city. My poor tortoise is turning to turtle soup, the cats are lining up before the fans and I'm sweating my body weight on an hourly basis ( Read more... )

The cats are sick. Some stomach bug, which started with Luna in the middle of the night. Now Jasmin is also barfing, and I think it got Lugh too. *sigh* I gave Luna a remedy and she's been okay since morning, and I'm keeping an eye on the others. Of course this had to happen on a Sunday, and election Sunday at that. No way I can get a fresh bag of ( Read more... )

... although we're in the middle of a heatwave here. 36C today (around 98.6F) and the poor kitties are in slow simmer. *sigh* Which doesn't explain why said cats insist on cuddling up all night long and I wake up covered in sweat and cat fur. Also, my PC is overheating, especially with the amount of fur that usually ends up inside it ( Read more... )

Today I had to take care of several chores in the morning, including taking my brother to the hospital for a check-up, and I had planned to spend the afternoon catching up with my crits and writing ( Read more... )

Well, sort of.

I've been sick all week. Last Saturday my brother and I went to our summer house, since it was the Easter weekend here, for a short trip to the country. Apparently, Nature hates me, because exposing myself to the Outdoors led to a cold. Nothing serious, not even a fever, but lots of annoying sniffling, sore throat and joint ache. But ( Read more... )
