Happy Birthday, Consuela!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Great. It's fallen to me to organise something I really want to do, but will be comparable to herding eels. Get CFerg and John Rogers in the same place at the same time with me. John's idea, and Colin's already been clear he's punted the ball in my direction.

I don't know! Well, at least I know it will be 2013. Which simplifies things, except...pilot season. Better sooner than later, then.

I'm not only comparing apples to find the best (the Pink Lady that tasted like a sweet Granny Smith is currently in the lead), I'm also comparing yoghurts. For some reason that kangaroo one wasn't grabbing me. This pineapple Chobani, however, is decidedly nom. A shade sour, but the pineapple flavour is great.

Someone a few rows over needs to take their horking to the restroom. I do not need to be able to echolocate his nasal passages from all the way over here.

Woops, flowers were from my brother & SIL, not my sister. Very nice of them!

Oh good, I just bought some of that. I also love the blood orange. And the TJ's pumpkin.

TJ's mango/apricot is just weird though. Not in the good way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Very nice! Getting flowers is great.

Talked to the vet, and he basically said to let Homer hang out as long as he seems to not be in a lot of pain. So I guess I will. At this point, I think it's harder for me than for him, so I should try to get over that a little bit. I mean, he's sitting on my lap right now! Which I guess is a good sign. He also said they can generally get people in for euthanasia within a day, so I don't need to worry much about planning that. Will try to get a grip and also a good night's sleep, which I did not last night, which of course doesn't help anything.

But first, choir.

Snuggles instead of hugs to Homer.

Yay for flowers, and happy birthday!

And...I just got a massive headache. I hope that the yoghurt's not a trigger, but I will need to test it again. Much closer to an ER visit next time, though.

Speaking of headaches, here's an app that lets you compare relative frames-per-second animations, up to your monitor's refresh rate (mine tops out at 60). I'd poke at it more when I didn't feel a hair's breadth away from spontaneous epilepsy.
