Hugs to Sean and Fay and Barb & Mooshu and Sparky for all things pants this morning and earlier.
I'm half asleep. I didn't fall asleep until after 1, and I hit snooze about four times more than I should have this morning, which left me about ten minutes to shower, get dressed, dry my hair, feed the cats, and grab my bag. I made it to school on time, but it wasn't pretty. I had to teach a class five minutes after arrived, which went fine, but...man. Need. Coffee.
::glares at phone::
All right pet hospital. I called. I know you have the bloodwork results. Please, Dr. G, CALL ME NOW

askye, your shock at $800/month is different from my shock at $800/month (ie, you think expensive, and I think cheap!) Location, location, location indeed. And I think I see stains on the carpet, so that's not new.
Yeah I know it has to do with location. The $800 rent on my old place is just over 100 more than the rent on my current place. And I know there are nice apartments in the neighborhood of similiar size going for less. Not to mention the electricity is hopelessly out of date.
I think it's a weird shadow or something or they stained the carpet after I moved because that wasn't there when I moved out.
KITTEH HATEZ LAPTOP
I can see the Genius Bar visit now:
What seems to be the problem?
Not sure, some how the screen is looking really funky.
Lets see. (opens laptop) Curious, your hinge feels a little askew too. Did you drop it open or something?
Nope, didn't drop it. Not sure what caused that.
I see what you mean by the unusual screen (feels with finger) Curious, feels like it has been scratched.
Hmm. I wonder if that's the "Tiger" itching to get out (nervous chuckle)
Uh. Ya. Anyhow. Well. Not sure what to say. Oh hey, it looks like your battery is almost drained, do you have your power adapter, lets give it some juice while we are talking.
Oh ya, here ya go.
(looking at magplug) Curious. What happened here?
Not sure.
By chance sir, do you have a cat?
Well, I did. He recently passed away.
Electrocution?
How'd you guess?
I'm sorry for your loss sir. I'm afraid these damages aren't covered by the warranty.
~ma and hugs all around. I'm sorry that this has been such a difficult year for so many people. You are all in my thoughts.
Apparently telling TCG's stepmom that I am back on antidepressants and really not feeling well at all was not enough of a hint to get her to stop asking me when we're going to book the wedding. Sigh. I'm starting to get really panicky about the shower on Sunday.
{{{sj}}} You're the guest of honor - let other people panic about your shower. You should just sit back, relax, and enjoy.
ETA: Also, I'm sorry if my mini-rant on showers in Natter has added any stress. I am a grump who is not generally a party person, so please take my opinions with a grain of salt. Plus I am positive that your shower will be fabulous as you will be there!
Just prepare a stock answer for that question and use it any time someone asks. "When we know, you'll know" Or "We don't want to spoil the surprise" or whatever. Poeple are always curious about weddings. Also, many folks will ask as part of trying to make polite small talk and don't really care about the answer.

No, not at all. I was just sharing my opinion and experience. I hope I didn't come off as snippy. I'm just not feeling very well. I have days when I can feel that the ADs are working, and I feel so much better. Then I have days when I'm still very very depressed. Plus I have a uti, and my sleep schedule is so very fucked up. I sleep a little bit one night, and then way too much the next.
{{{sj}}} No, you did not at all come off as snippy. I think I came off as grumpy-pants. I hope your meds kick in quickly so that you feel better. I am weaning off of mine and am wondering if that is why I'm grumpy lately...
