Rituals
Sunday mornings are the only times that I can think anymore. Work is so busy, and it takes so much out of me that weekend and relaxation have shrunk down to a few hours now. The good news is that writing here has become a part of that ritual -- for better or worse -- and it's nice to have a recap of the weeks to look back on. Monday was work busy, as was Tuesday and Tuesday night. Recovering from doing overnight work gets harder the older I get :) Work continued to be busy through the end of the week, though I started coming down with something on Friday. Friday night I took the dog out for a walk, and ended up spewing twice. The look on Gbic's face was precious -- don't do that HERE, I go potty HERE! Uhh, yeah. You had to see it :) Yesterday I slept off and on all day, and whatever hit me Friday night seems to have passed.
We did get some grocery shopping done Wednesday night, so I've been trying to cook more at home. No success yesterday of course, but I have a gigantic vat of Mexican Beef and Beans simmering on the stove right now, so higher hopes for today. Gbic is doing fine with her recovery. Her fur is starting to grow back and she's been much better about not scratching. The Aveeno hydrocortisone cream really seemed to heal up her dermatitis that was bugging her above the incision. She's still not liking her normal dry food, so I think we'll have to switch that up a bit.
Today will involve some more shopping -- Target and Petco this time. The cats are out of food, and I'll see about different food for Gbic too. Next weekend Richard's headed to Toronto for NANOG, thus it's time to stock up on cleaning supplies at Target, heh :) Not sure what I'll be able to get done while he's gone this time, but we'll see.
On the agenda for this coming week: possibly another short Costco run tomorrow. They have a shredder that I'd like very much on sale starting tomorrow. It's also time to send another batch of goodies out to folks. I think we might be going brownies this time. Maybe some more of the other items that have been popular. The dreaded end of the month task falls this week -- oh so looking forward to that! That suckiness will be mitigated by attempting to get in on the Halo3 beta program. Something like 2 or 3 hours of online play required between the 1st and the 3rd, then signing up on the website on the 5th. Halo3!!
