Wow, losing one stone would be impressive enough. Why do you Brits make it so hard on yourselves? It's so much easier to lose a pound.

Happy Birthday, Amy!

Happy Birthday, Annabel!

Fay, WOW! Very impressive.

I had a lovely afternoon/evening with Omnis and got him thoroughly hooked on Stargate SG-1. Excellent way to spend my last day of vacation, I'd say.

Byron is recovering well and is very happy to not have to wear his collar anymore (no more angry flower). He also now has free run of the house. He's able to get up on the couch on his own, but the bed is too high. I've gotten him some steps, but they're not quite high enough, so I've ordered the extension set. The little bugger scooted under the bed about ten minutes ago, though, and I know he's going to want to get up on the bed in the middle of the night. I'm going to have to fish him out from under there if I don't want kitty trauma in a few hours. Fun!

I have to go back to work tomorrow, but I'm okay with that. I'm kind of excited to get back into that routine after two weeks of round-the-clock kitty care.

ETA: He came out on his own and is snuggled in to me. Yay! Night everyone.

I haz crack now! Yes, after visiting KT, where she FORCED me, twisting my arm in agony, to stay an extra 2 hours to watch the pilot of Stargate-1, she then demanded I smoke more crack.. er.. borrow season 1. Ok, so there wasn't any twisting. I've been a fan, but due to crazy work/(and probably then school) schedule pre DVR days, I didn't watch it regularly. So I happily borrowed the dvd's. Ssssh. Don't tell ND.

Yes, Byron is very cute, and seems very well adjusted. Funny, when he walks toward you, head on, you can't tell. It's only when he's to the side, or walking away that you really notice his unique gait. And, being one with a unique gait myself, I'm not gonna tease him.

I also learned that, with not traffic, it takes exactly one episode of This American Life from KT/ND place to mine... ok, so I was 5 steps away from my door, but close enough.

Laga, I have my DVR set up to record tomorrows episodes (both of them) Tuesday as well, just in case.

snerk. I spent a good minute trying to firgure out what you were recording for me. Did we talk about Battlestar Galactica? Torchwood? Both episodes of what?.. ohhhhh

Yay for Byron's adjustment!

Go, Fay!

Happy Birthday, if a bit late, to Amy and Annabel!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Annabel and good thoughts for my mom.

Life is just so much lately. I hope it doesn't make me a terrible and callous person that I can turn off everything else and disappear into the world of my WIP for hours at a time, because that's what I just did for most of the evening. Whatever else is happening, I think I'm writing a pretty good book.

I heard back from Ex-Army Brother, who suggested I come down to CA for the first half of Mom's visit. So I'm going to talk to my boss tomorrow and make travel plans accordingly.

Sorry Laga, I should have copied the text from the announcement.

oh don't be silly, omnis. I should have remembered.

Happy birthday to Amy and to Miss Annabel!
