I agree with the mouseover text....

I remember the pep rally that they actually mentioned the math club and our competitions. Ones of people cheered.

It looks like Spare Cat has a kitty skin absess burst open on her hip -- it's about the size of a nickel, and I'm sure it's hurting a lot less than it looks. Still, since she's a loaner, I'd better take her to the vet. :-(

Oh, poor kitty!! I hope she's better soon (and it won't cost too much at the vet).

My cat has taken to doing something rather cute lately--I got her some new belled knitted caterpillar-like toys for her to bat around the apartment. The only time I see that she's played with them is when her food dish is empty--she puts one of them in the empty dish.

“Not dead yet!”

Jack-Jack has taken to sitting on my writing desk, which is located directly behind my computer desk. (My chair in between the two.)

It's mildly disconcerting to think of the cat, perched right behind me, watching my every move. I almost feel like my mother is hovering behind me, watching me write the smutty scenes in my books.

So, is the Tuesday after a three-day weekend worse than a typical Monday? or not?

I almost always like having the short week after a long weekend better than the actual weekend. But this week at work is the week from hell, so we'll see.

Because books.

My Tuesday started with cinnamon toast and French copies of my last book, which is fun.

It sort of feels like after seven years of French (and knowing what I wrote), I should be able to read the thing, but not so much.

My Tuesday involved flying up to DC for a conference. It's one where I'll be sitting at a booth for most of it, and running around for my manager for the rest of it. But hey, plane ride!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oooh, cinnamon toast. Or French toast. Those sound good, though probably not a great idea on a day where I had M&M's for breakfast.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On the contrary, Dana -- either one sounds like a good transition plan! You can't go straight from candy to soup! Or whatever.
