loooooong time

So, it seems my toilet-roll holder is too complicated for some people. Go figure. Obviously, I don't find it difficult, but...

Okay, wait. It's been almost two months since I've been here and that's what I start off with? Gotta do better than that.

It's been an ... eventful couple of months. Nothing really horrible, not since 9/11, which was bad enough. The next day I had a falling out with my cat's "healthcare provider" (his former owner, who advised me never to contact him again after, admittedly, a somewhat overwrought, demanding email from me--but, y'know, fuck 'im). I'm actually happier finally being in charge of my cat's health, as well as the rest of him, but this had led to his being better diagnosed and thus leading to his needing an $1800 treatment in a couple of weeks (assuming he's eligible--and I'm not going to get ahead of things here). And in between, he had an overnight stay at the vet's--where he caught a cold. I've never seen a cat so miserable. Had to do force-feeding, the whole bit.

We're better now. And I seem to have caught up on sleep and will hopefully have my sleep patterns back in whack now. Soon to be disrupted in a few days, as I have a 6:30 am flight out of LGA to go see Mom soon. I suppose I could write more about that, but I think this is good enough for starters.

I'm grateful today for having a nice, warm place to live. I can sit here and listen to the wind (lotta wind out there today) blowing the trees hither and thither. Okay, I don't think I've ever used that word before, but I like it. Thither.

Downloading a TV show right now. Looking forward to watching it. Tomorrow.
