I thought I had better post something to get that damn Christmas song/atrocity off the top of my blog.
I dropped Elvis off at the vet this morning so he can get his glucose curve done today. Poor kitty. When I dropped him off, there was an obnoxious yappy dog in the waiting room, skittering around on the tiles and letting loose with high-pitched whine-barks. Gah. I wanted to give that dog a reason to be at the vet, if you know what I mean. It was getting on my nerves, not to mention setting off my cat-mom-protection-instinct.
He gets released any time after 4:00 p.m., so I'll shoot out of work a little early. I've been slammed here, but that's a good (and fun!) thing. Today is also my performance review so I'm hoping for a decent raise. *crosses fingers*
Hmm, what else? I'm all set with cat-sitting while I'm gone for Christmas. My neighbor came over to practice giving Elvis shots, so that's cool. As his back-up, my friend referred me to her Crazy Cat Lady co-worker who is more than happy to help out. She came over on Sunday to meet us and I'm feeling really good about it. Yay!
I ran five miles on Sunday! w00t! The last half mile was killer – my legs were giving out before my lungs did, so that's a good sign. I'm slowly working my way up to the seven I'm shooting for before the Big Race (2/29-3/1). Actually, since I'll be going 14.5 total, I'd like to be able to get to 8 miles by then.
No one can send me anymore Christmas cards because I did all I'm doing last night and I ran out of stamps. Plus, I've run out of time. So that's settled.
Tomorrow is our Christmas concert, some fun stuff on the program.
Not much else to report. I fly home to see the FamilyH on Saturday and I hope to meet up with many of my way cool Michigan friends while I'm there. Which reminds me, I need to send emails and let people know I'll be around.
Oh – remember the beaded cat I commissioned? Elvis II is ready to go, I take ownership of him on Friday. I saw him when he was half done and he was soooo cool. I've seen the artist's work in a few galleries around town and I must say, she's giving me a great deal on the price. She is amazing. I'll put up pictures when I have them, along with some description of the beads and beadwork patterns.
That's all for now, peeps! Stay warm!
