Thirteen Random Things About My Week

1. It’s payday tomorrow! Er. Today actually. In about four hours! Then I have to buy some yarn!
2. I finished my grandmother’s scarf. Pictures of the scarf in progress are below a couple posts, and frankly, they’re good enough. It doesn’t look much different, except… longer. But ooh, it’s scrumptious. Mom wanted to keep it, too.
3. I bought a movie today. The first movie I’ve bought in… years? Yep. It cost me seven dollars and fifty cents, and it’s called Young Guns - an old western with Emilio Esteves posing as Billy the Kid. I have a thing for outlaws. Was the first Rated R movie I ever saw as a kid. I fell in love, too. The outlaw thing.
4. My cat got shaved today, too. Took my gray persian, Tsuki, to the groomer and let them hack off all her hair and matts and tangles, and she’s a new kitty. She’s about half her former size, and she was small to begin with, more like a half-grown kitten than a full grown cat. But now she looks plain silly - like a cartoon cat with a liiiiitle itty bitty body and a big head. These pics don’t do her justice, but here they are anyway:
   
   

   
   

5. One of my other cats, Sebastian, now does not recognize her by either sight or scent, and has been trailing her around with his nose in her butt and hissing at her every time she looks his way. Tsuki is not the least bit disturbed by this, but I find it incredibly rude.
6. I read… one whole book. February was not a good reading month, obviously.
7. I got several new pairs of socks, thanks to my mother. They’re… uh… cute. You know, kitties on them and whatnot. I really wanted some like, striped socks, or plain nice colored ones, but I got kitties. Oh well. Fun feet!
8. I have nothing to knit and suddenly, it’s driving me mad. I either don’t have the right yarn, or not enough of it, or the wrong needles, or the wrong pattern, or no pattern… it’s madness!
9. I roasted a chicken, and as of last night, or night before, I am finally done eating all the leftovers. Except some of the chicken itself. And I’m so sick of that I might have to feed it to the cats.
10. I got my shipment of books from QPB. What did I order now? The Book Thief which is actually hardcover, not paperback… hehe. Oh well. And Amy Tan’s Saving Fish From Drowning which looks good, and is somewhat larger in size than expected. And a mystery book, because I am a sucker for grab bags. The book turned out to be… er, I forgot its title, but it’s a collection of writings from a large group of authors who submitted what they considered their ‘best’ work to go into the book. So basically, stories and writings, and even a comic from Scott Adams, that each of these authors consider an example of their best work. Could be interesting. Looks intelligent, anyway.
11. I’ve been suffering sinus headaches and stuffiness. Again. I think I’m allergic to the cats, because it never goes away. Either that or it’s an allergy to life itself. Hmm…
12. I finally got my ftp server working at home!! Hurrah! Only one glitch, and it’s a relatively unimportant one anyway. One more thing to cross off my list of ‘geekly things to do’.
13. I’m terribly glad that TT is up and running again! Need to make time to do more visitations of people this week!

4. Thanks for visiting my TT. Your poor cat. I’ve shaved my dogs, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a shaved cat.

5. Awww… I bet your kitty is more comfy now!!

   I too am allergic to my cats, it’s an allergy I have ignored my entire life. They want to do allergy testing, I say “no need, I’m allergic to the cats and not getting rid of them so it’s a waste of $2000″ They say I will feel better, I say if they can say that they’ve never loved a cat!

   Thanks for visiting me this week! Sorry for the slow visit-back, had a kiddie thing this weekend!
