Where was I?
May. 18th, 2009 10:07 amYeesh, I really didn't mean to go all radio silence. This is gonna be some pretty lackluster updates, though. Nothing ominous and bad, but nothing great either. I'm hoping to dump a nice art post up here soon, got myself working on about five different things at once.
Spider: After much expensive testing, the vet has ruled out just about everything innocently wrong with this cat, which was supposed to leave Cancer or FIP as the two likely things. Both of these are fatal, and mean she's going downhill very, very fast.
She has gained weight back, is perky and about as active as she ever is. She eats, she goes after condensation on Bridgie's drinks, she occasionally leaves presents on the carpet by the door. She's herself. She jumps easily up onto the bed to sleep (snoring loudly) on Bridgie's feet, or up to the back of her favorite chair. This is not a sick cat. The vet gave in, and basically said keep them posted if she gets sick again. Otherwise it's just a mystery, but we're glad to have her back to normal.
Except when the cats conspire, such as Squeaks asking to be let out at four in the morning when Spider has shat in front of the door. But other than that!
Jobness: Dunno, still hunting. There was a retail job I really, really thought I had. I seemed to be exactly what they were looking for, I got along well with the guy interviewing me, we even knew some of the same people in former employers and my references. I asked when I could expect to hear from him, and he said as soon as he got a hold of our friend in common job reference. That was a week from last Friday. Nothing.
Still looking.
Other stuff: Been some Maymonting, some Botanical Gardens. They're easy to get to and free, so that's what we do to get out of the house. I've been really unfocused on art, so I've got a lot of things in progress and nothing finished. Pissed at a bottle of masking fluid I bought for a project I'm finally working on, only to find the stuff solidified before I had a chance to use it. I only opened the bottle once, and I screw caps back on pretty tight. Car is having minor issues, stuttering and it stalled out twice yesterday while idling, but we think it's probably just the choke, it only has trouble when it's standing still and drives fine otherwise. Shad is a Shadow-obsessed keyboard hogging freakmonkey. I am back on daily coffee, after a break of about four years. Been going intermittently to the UU church, and it's... interesting. There's a class thingy at the end of this month to actually learn what they're all about, so we're gonna do that. I can't quite shake that little nagging fear of organized religion, even though the jokes are that it's disorganized religion. The reverend is awfully nice, and the choir is good and it seems like Bridgie should be in it. And I found the Belafonte song 'Turn the World Around' in their hymnal yesterday, which is awesome. For you other Thirtyishsomethings and over, that's the number Harry Belafonte sang on the Muppet show.
Can't think of anything else to update with.
Oh! The inventory people continue to send me a weekly schedule, with no hours and 'terminated' on it. They need to update their list, geez.
I'll try to have artings next time. Courtney's commission is in the final stages, at least.
