I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I'd love a little kitty~ma for my new kitten, Casper. He was tested for feline leukemia yesterday and we get the results today. If he's positive, we can't keep him as we have two other cats. Clean test, please!

Our wings are not tired.
Some of you know that I have been working on a massive project at work that has destroyed any chance I've had to actually have a personal life of any sorts for the last three months.
It's done. I just finalized the cover letter. It's burning onto dvds right now.
It's 94,000 pages, 675 files, 22,453 hyperlinks and is over 5 gigabytes of pdfs and SAS datasets.
It culminates 7 years of drug development.
It ships Monday.
A special thanks to those of you who were patient with my endless party declinations (is that a word?) and general non-socialization.
(And yes, Megan, this means Chile and I can finally go for a hike with you!)

Well, I spoke too soon. Had to work all day on this still (fixing a last minute technical issue) and now the same error that happened two weeks ago, where once-created external links disappear into the ether, has happened.
I have quit crying long enough now that I can actually type. I'll be back in the office at 6, to spend the day re-creating over 2000 links.
ETA: I have been told by the software company not to restore the rest of the links today, but to instead wait for a script to run in the database to restore the links. Still, I am stress case. But at least I get to watch the Niners game and do 300 errands today.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

There was a sand dune collapse at a State Park. One child is dead and one is in critical condition. The critical one is a family friend and I have known him since he was a baby. His Mother who dug him out I have known all my life. Please pray for A, and for his little brother R who saw more than a 7 year old ought to. Please pray for the family who's child was lost.
And please thank who or whatever you thank that the third child was able to dig himself out and run for help.

My mom is having a hip replacement Tuesday morning. Please send some of that famous Buffista-ma Texasward to ensure her surgery goes without a hitch. Soon, she'll have a bionic hip!
