We received a package from the Cat Hospital of Austin today. Inside was a sympathy card with sweet, loving messages from all the ladies that work there, an adorable kitty angel pin, and a casting of Fuzza’s paw print. It made us cry a little, not so much out of sadness but more-so due to it being such a wonderful gesture of kindness. Completely unexpected too. I love the ladies over there. I told you they were good people. :heart:

If you own a cat (or two) and you live in or near Austin, it is worth the drive to take your pet to them for its health needs. They get my highest recommendation. Any future cats I have in my life will be going there. Best vet ever.

In other news, Livejournal has a new feature in open beta right now … LJ now has a Jabber server, and it uses your LJ username and password, so no having to sign up for yet another account somewhere just to chat. It also imports your friends list automatically, and it works with iChat. I had a little chat with Dawna (who was getting slaughtered in an online game at the time), so now I’ve had a chance to try out iChat, and I love it!

So if you have an LJ account and haven’t heard about this yet, go read the announcement for all the specifics. I’m rating this VERY COOL!

I’m still feeling a little unwell. While I don’t want to feel any more sick than I do, it’s so annoying to only feel somewhat sick … just sick enough that going about my day or trying to go somewhere is awful, but not sick enough to lay around being sick. My body seems to be fighting the good fight though, so I’m pumping it up with vitamins and fruit juice and good healthy food. Hopefully I built up some antibodies when I went through this last month and won’t get totally sick again. At least I certainly hope so.

Though I didn’t get anything in the way of housework done today, my plan is to eat dinner (leftover ravioli and rice) and then get the house in order so I can ignore it all weekend. That way Lin and I can lay around being lazy slugs for two days, and maybe by Monday I’ll be feeling better again. I’m really wanting to get on with my life, and the last two months has just been one thing after another (and few of them good things). I’d really like my old boring life back now, please.

Im going to go get dinner heated up and listen to Lin practice the guitar. He’s getting so good at it. I’ve warned him now that I have a schmancy-fancy computer that makes recording things easy, he’s going to have to let me record him sometime so I can make you all listen to his playing. Naturally the mere mention of being recorded made him put on his earphones and run to the other room. He’s still suffers from severe stage fright. :lol:

Babble at you later! I’ve got ravioli to chow down! :)
