Holy crapola, this is a doozy of a storm.

Mister Kitty has an elvis sneer. It makes me laugh.

My bad eye is gradually improving. Still too soon to determine how much vision I'll regain, but it's alreay improved a fair amount.

Excellent news!

tommy, I thought of you at lunch --in the classified ads someone is giving away their 8 yr old Sphynix.

aww.... I hope the kitty finds a good home.

Also, the all-cat Triumph of the Will should have the Hitler!Sphynx play Hitler. Then there could be people saying, "He talks about the master species, but he's not even a real cat...."

How is the new place working out, Kathy?

Pretty well, so far. When I went in to pick up my new phonebooks last week, I didn't have to give them my name--they just picked out the package from the batch they were holding for residents. I was surprised that they already know me since I've only been in there a few times (to get a working mailbox key and drop off the rent check).

The cable is a bit wonky (someone disconnected it last week for no particular reason--I think they got me confused with someone else at the main box, and now the On Demand channel's not working), and the elevator can be a bit touchy (it didn't want to move from the third floor when I was trying to go to work this morning), but having AC is wonderful when it's 90 degrees out!

I'm not out of the woods yet, at least, not enough to stop me being nervous, but the doctor says he thinks it's only a bad sprain. X-rays showed no bone damage, at least. If I'm unhappy with how it's healing in three weeks, I'm to go see him again.

And excellent news to you too, Dana!

I just got my first outside phone call, and I had no freaking idea how to answer it! It was a two-part question, and I couldn't even answer the first, factual, part. Luckily, the caller was nice, I said I was new, and could find the answer if she gave me a minute. I think it will be OK, but I really wish the people I emailed about the second part of the question would write back.

I'm thinking good thoughts for your health, tommy and Dana.

Mostly sleeping all day (and some meds) seems to have taken the edge off the headache.

Annoyingly, they're coming with weakness more often--last night I couldn't really cut my food. It's very weird.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Plei!

The con was fun, and I didn't get anywhere enough sleep. Par for the course.

I just got an lj account on Thursday, but I don't think I have to worry about my folks reading my posts. I'm not sure they understand that AOL is not the Internet...(many of my real-life friends have ljs, which is part of the reason I got one)

Grrr. HR came over here and told my two bosses that I owed 41.5 HOURS of vacation time. Basically meaning, that my last check would only be a week, not two.

I disagreed VEHEMENTLY and turns out, HR counted three days of vacation as six, and charged the same 5 hours to both ETO and vacation.

Turns out, they owe ME un-used time off.

Jackholes.

I'm glad that rightness is prevailing for you, Aimee -- and that Dana's ankle is good. And yeah, tommy's eye, too.

I heard from my Mom that my aunt went out to dinner last night, which means she is feeling up to Being Seen in Public -- not a small thing when you've had a stroke so recently. It looks like they can go to the beach house just a little bit later than usual this year.

Me, I'm sitting out in the backyard presently, with every square inch of bare skin sprayed with anti-bug goop. ::waves shaky fist at mosquitos::
