| 6:26 pm | Have actually managed to finish my Christmas shopping before the day before Christmas, as is my usual habit. I feel ridiculously proud of myself and productive. Of course, now I have to wrap everything. Which, since I'm notoriously not good at wrapping, is only going to lead to me taping myself to half a dozen packages. And let's not even get into the fact that the cat's going to try and "help". Which will lead to me wrapping the cat up just because I can, just to see how long it takes before the poor thing gets annoyed and makes me stop. What can I say? I'm a dork and I know it. |

| 8:24 am | It's the day of a thousand and one errands. Not literally, but damned if it doesn't feel like it, anyway. At least it's not one of those days where I have to run my errands and worry about being late for work. There's few things worse than having to call someone and go "Yeah, we need to reschedule you, I'm stuck in line at the store." |

| 7:37 am | Things that make my day decidedly less awesome: waking up and discovering that my poor kitten is ridiculously sick and needs to go to the vet. Things that make the day a little better: The kitten still being at least vaguely interested in playing, even if it is a little half-hearted. Here's the dilemma -- do I shuffle appointments today and take the kitten in early, or do I wait until I get home and hope the poor thing doesn't get sick all over the living room or something? |

| 7:17 pm | Lazy holiday was lazy. Didn't do much except spend it with family, but really, isn't that the best kind of holiday? Okay, maybe not if you're not into that kind of thing or you hate your family. But if you've got the family I do, spending time with them's the best part of any holiday. Occasionally the most headache-inducing, too. We can be a crazy bunch. Current Mood:  cheerful |

| 4:57 pm | It's been a quiet, lazy day... I've had a lot of those lately, actually. I don't know whether to feel relieved about that or a little disturbed. Or possibly both. I'll go with both. Have an RSVP to respond to, which means I need to make a call first and then call Walter's mother and let her know whether or not I've got a date for her to fuss over. And she probably will fuss over him, too. Which is one of the things I love about her, really. If you're important to someone that's important to her, then you're important to her, too. Now I have to get up, find the phone, and then get the kitten to stop dragging balled up socks out of the clean laundry hamper. Possibly not in that order. |

| 7:04 pm | Yeah, so it turns out that ignoring a wedding invitation until after the RSVP date doesn't get you off the hook, it just gets you called by the groom's mother wanting to know what's wrong and if you're all right and oh yeah, if you're going to be there. It also gets you the lovely experience of your late partner's mother asking if you're bringing a friggin' date. Somewhere out there, Walter is laughing at me over this, I just know it. Current Mood: amused |

| 8:02 pm | Tripped over the cat this morning. No, before the peanut gallery asks, I did not hurt myself. Or the cat. I just did one of those mad hopping dances that by all rights should end with you falling flat on your face but somehow doesn't. And then after that, all Bishop did was flounce off and sleep in the empty laundry basket. WTF, kitty, why so weird? Current Mood: amused |

| 11:24 pm | My cat is trying to kill me, I swear. Spent two hours looking for the little bastard today -- yes, I really am lame enough to spend two hours looking for an animal despite knowing there was no way he could have gotten out -- only to find him curled up on my pillow like it was where he'd been the entire time. And no, for the record, it was not. Current Mood: amused |

| 7:54 pm | The universe is laughing at me right now, I just know it is. Why do I say this? Because I just pulled a friggin' muscle in my damn back. A yoga instructor with a pulled back muscle, what the hell? The only thing saving me there is that at least I didn't do it while at work. Because then I'd just feel ridiculously incompetent. As it is, I only feel mildly incompetent -- I did it while friggin' doing laundry. This post brought to you by a muscle relaxant and some really awesome painkillers. Current Mood: high |

| 7:54 pm | So I'm not sure which is worse about today, the fact that for a few minutes I thought I threw my back out while working, or getting an invitation to a wedding I just so completely don't want to go to alone. It's a tough call, really. Because severe back sprain means I'm not working for at least a week, but going to a wedding for someone in my late partner's family means dredging up old memories. One means being drugged to the gills, the other means uncomfortable questions. One means getting laughed at by family members, the other means having to see people who used to be family members. I'm... gonna call it a tie. Current Mood:  uncomfortable |

| 2:10 am | Took the kitten to Sid a few days ago, got a clean bill of health and all his shots and whatnot. Sid says he's perfectly healthy, just a little small. I've also renamed him. He's no longer Stinky -- he's now Bishop. (What? I was watching one of the Alien movies at the time. Shut it.) ( Family ) Current Mood: content |

| 10:13 pm | I need to stop writing in this thing when I'm sleep-deprived. I make the stupidest choices possible. Though at least it led to some hilarity for my brother last time. So glad someone could profit off my internal misery. Jackass. Current Mood:  embarrassed |

| 8:08 pm | Spent the wee hours of the morning at the hospital with most of the family. They pretty much had to toss most of us out so Layla could at least try and get some rest. So of course I didn't get home until something like ridiculous o'clock in the morning and spent the entire day sleeping. Only woke up like an hour ago. Need to call Sid, get an appointment for the kitten. And no, Porter, I am not naming him Stinky. Current Mood:  blah |
