The bad: We had to go out on Black Friday after all – vet appointment for Pandora. She’s eating, but not well, and her hair is seriously thinning – we found a bald patch. Worse, it looks like her diabetes is back as well as a UTI. The meds that have been helping prevent recurring pancreatitis exacerbate diabetes, and are probably responsible for her hair loss. On the other hand, they help her want to eat. Usually. The UTI is just a fabulous bonus. Also, one of the nose pad things on my glasses broke off. I’ll go to the…

Between Macy’s rickrolling of America and the “Turkeys Away” episode of WKRP in Cincinnati, I don’t think today can get much better! Confession: We’re having french dip sammiches tonight because the turkey isn’t completely thawed and we can’t be bothered to force it. :D I love a no-pressure holiday! I’m thankful for: My husband. My non-annoying in-laws. Being able to go to college at this late date. Many other things I’m unable to articulate. Also, my husband.

I woke up (to pee, natch) before the alarm went off, and now I’m actually awake! What’s up with that? So that American Lit test I thought I blew? Got a 98. Seriously, what is wrong with me?? I still feel like my answers weren’t worth full points – I’m under the theory that the prof was scoring my test late, he wanted to get to bed, and was all “screw it, good enough.” Or something. Wow. Mornings. The sky just a few minutes ago was this gorgeous light purple. Normally, I’m against sunrises – the only way they should…

Today, in short bullet points: Tasha has taken off her collar, again. This time, I think she’s hidden it. The cable bill gave me a massive paper cut. Though mortally wounded (see above point) I got the junk paid and the bills shredded. Wait. Reverse that. I still need to pick classes for Spring term. Eeep. I’m dreading getting our writing assignment for Am Lit. That is all. [EDIT: 9:49pm Found it! Tasha’s collar, that is. It was on the bottom shelf of a bookcase in the library. Silly cat. Now I’m going to have some ice cream and watch…

Pandora has been not feeling too well lately – not eating, diarrhea, poor grooming. She’s only lost a little weight, but feels thin, and just frail. She’s had several health issues over the last few years. She was diabetic a few years ago (cats apparently can “get over” diabetes – at any rate, she only needed insulin for a few months) and lately has had bouts with pancreatitis and UTIs. Anyway, to try to find out what’s going on we had her in for an ultrasound today. There’s a good chance it’s liver cancer – there’s good size nodes in…

I’ve discovered that I don’t like the pressure of feeling like I have to post every day. I’m going to tough it out though, because I still feel bad about miserably failing the Project 365 photo challenge. At least it’s only one month. Can’t promise any earth-shattering or deeply moving posts though. So, today. School. Government is fun, we’re on the Bill of Rights. Talking about the first and fourth, and the class is an uproar. In American Lit we’ve gone from Thoreau and Whitman to the Declaration of Independence, Abigail and John Adam’s letters, and Frederick Douglass – the…

<snork> I attempted to make the following tweet: “LiveJournal down until 2pm – probably longer for me due to TimeWarner’s notorious name server issues.” … only to get this message: Twitter is currently down for database maintenance. LiveJournal AND Twitter down at the same time? COINCIDENCE?? I think NOT!

Good News: Got 100 on my government test Bad News: I don’t feel that good about my AmLit test today. Good News: At least I wrote something on each question. Bad News: It may or may not have been related to the question. Good News: Animal Crossing: City Folk is a lot of fun! Bad News: Where does the time go???

Today was the release date for Animal Crossing: City Folk for Nintendo Wii. Naturally I went out and snagged it as soon as possible! It’s pretty much the same as AC:WW, which was pretty much the same as AC gamecube. If you weren’t obsessed with Wild World, I don’t know that City Folk will interest you much. There’s the same visiting towns that WW had, though I have not yet done that yet. You can send mail to other people’s towns without actually having to be in that town at the time, which is nice. You can also send mail…
