Ugh. Tired. Let’s see what’s been going on.
Work
Lot’s of deadlines. No real surprises or drama there, I’m just busy.
Gaming
Very little of that in the last week or so — just been too busy. Been online a couple times with Kate, playing Lord of the Rings Online (which is fun), but otherwise not much of anything. Should have at least one if not two face to face game-togethers this weekend, though.
Social
Both sistergirl and Kate were in town this weekend for fun and shopping. Emphasis on shopping. Belated birthday presents were purchased, and there was a lot of clothes shopping. I bought a tux.
Yes, tux.
Yes, bought.
I’ll be eating leftovers on a bed of Ramen noodles for a month, but it is swexy.
Dogs
The dogs got through their grand adventure with no injuries… and the Jake promptly (re)injured the tendon in his back leg the day he got home — he’s been gimping around for a week now, unwilling to give up the squirrel chasing that is causing continued soreness. (Activity I’m unable to prevent when the dogs have free run of the house and yard all day.) No, I don’t have the two grand handy for the surgery he probably needs. :P
Kaylee
Apparently I haven’t been knocking on wood hard enough, as girly-girl has a pretty good (read: bad) head cold going on right now. Kaylee is normally super-healthly, and that condition has brought with a certain lack of conditioning on MY part when it comes to repeated wakings in the middle of the night when she’s stuffed up and can’t breathe.
Also, since she’s rarely sick and sleeps soundly, she is handling this new situation with all the grace you would expect from someone with no experience at being sick — in short, she’s as graceful about it as *I* am when I’m sick, which makes her a real bundle of suck joy to be around, lemme tell yah.
And the cough medicine makes her SO HYPER. Yikes. Hyper-grumpy. Double yikes.
And this morning she decided she wasn’t going to take any more medicine.
Me
Today I’m coming off four days of driving all over, shopping all over, taking care of Kaylee, sick Kaylee, and frequently-interrupted “sleep”. I’m punchy and groggy. The words I needs in conversations are coming slowly to me, if at all.
I need a nap, a good long swim down at the rec center, and then more sleep.
