We had such a good day with D today. He's become an amazing young man. Right now I'm watching Barney with J. Part of me is dying to get home and part of me is sick about leaving everyone not knowing when I might see them again. I'm already missing them.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Ah, Kristin, hugs for you, recovery thoughts for your laptop and many many hugs and purrs and gentle licks for Byron from me and the boys!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Boy, I should have come home and read the board before I stopped by the grocery store. I bought tons of snacks, but now I have all the WRONG snacks.
My dinner? TJs Thai shrimp gyoza, chicken breast, and tater tots. Rilly rilly good.

Yay, date, omnis!
Teppy your dinner sounds yummy. There were no tater tots for me today. I had a chili burger at Fudrucker's for lunch, the gelato, and for dinner T's mom made chicken and mashed potatoes and a salad.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yay date!
My dinner was leftover corned seitan with cabbage and potatoes. Now I'm watching Nick at Nite, where they've decided that the appropriate St. Patrick's Day programming is a George Lopez marathon. They're calling it "Luck of the Lopez."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
omg my roommates are so sweet I can't stand it! I keep wondering when I'm going to figure out what's wrong with them. B just left and as he was walking out he said to the dog, "Bye bye doggie. You can't come out, you have to stay inside." and then, "you too kitty." Isn't that precious?

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
Jumping to end for a quick update. Byron is home. He's in a lot of pain and has a massive wound stitched up on his leg (it's got to be at least 5 inches long), but at least he's eating. They did their best to get clean margins, which meant that they had to go a little bit into one of the muscles, poor kitty. As I said earlier, the vet says we won't know how dangerous the tumor is until Friday. He does not seem to be optimistic that this is a benign tumor, which is odd since he says that type of cancer is extremely rare. But. Yeah. I'm trying to think positive.
Byron has antibiotics for the next week, but no official painkillers. The vet says that I can give him a baby aspirin tomorrow morning, but I hate that I have to leave him when he's feeling so obviously miserable. Total cost of all tests, appointments, surgery, and dental cleaning: $1000+. Ouch.
And to add to the financial debacle, I ended up buying a new laptop today after the Genius Bar guy told me that my old one was DOA. He was willing to send it out to attempt to salvage something, but it was going to cost more than $500 just to make the attempt. I opted to put that money towards a new machine instead. I am very proud of myself, though. With some help from a step-by-step website ND linked me to, I managed to disassemble the old one, extract the old hard drive, install it in the enclosure, and transfer all the data to the new machine! I'm feeling vaguely tech-goddessy for that.
I'm not going to say how much I charged for the laptop. Let's just say that the credit card I had just emptied my savings to pay off is no longer (remotely) paid off.
Sigh. March. Yeah. Time to go away.
