Remiss

I don't like using the computer at home, because I'm on it all day at work. And I don't blog at work, because blogging is not work. And so here is yet another disjointed update:

I am on my first forever medication for my thyroid, and will soon be on my second, for my cholesterol, because after months of eating VERY well, my overall only dropped a point, and my doctor says it should have dropped back to normal long ago if it was just a diet issue. So it's hereditary. I'm adopted, as some of you would know, so my medical history is sketchy. I guess it's about time to have my adoption records opened.

There are cats EVERYWHERE at my house. We're fostering three fluffy kittens, and still have our two cats. This amounts to us having the same amount of cats as there are rooms in our house. That might be okay if the cats would spread out, but they are prone to all wanting to be wherever we are. One of the cats likes to try to cram her nose up my nose. That's my favourite. And last night Milo fell into the bathtub while I was in it. And sometimes I wake up and a cat is sleeping on my face. This is actually all more enjoyable than it sounds.

These cats will actually be returning home --- one of their humans is in the hospital, but will be home in two weeks and then the kittens will go back to their family.

My husband and I got the first season of 24 from the library - 6 hours to go. Lovely show.

Things I have not yet ceased to love: My job, my boss, my friends, my Person, my church, my neighbours.

A few weeks ago I travelled to Charlottetown, Halifax and Lower Sackville to represent Bethany at a College/University fair - VERY fun. It's great to have a job that provides so much flexibility.

Speaking of job flexibility, my boss has okayed another trek to Saint John for next weekend.

Looks like some more funding might be available for me, which means I'll be at my job until at least March. This is EXCELLENT news.

Sela Ward is my favourite actress. I wish she was in more stuff.

I miss Exalt. I wish it happened more than once a year.

My husband is in rough shape. He lost a filling a while ago, and in my attempt to teach him responsibility in baby steps, I told him that if he gave me some numbers for local dentists, I would call and find one that would take him. He did not, so I did not. Now he is in terrible, terrible pain. (Suffice it to say I called to make an appointment without him fulfilling his part of the bargain --- hopefully the consequences of his procrastination will effectively teach him the lesson.) I want to take him to outpatients to get an antibiotic to tide him over until his dentist appointment on Tuesday, but being the stubborn man that he is, he refuses.

My roommate has Typhus. (That roommate is obviously Selinda.) Only my boss seems to understand that this is cool. Everyone else looks at me like I have two heads when I tell them the news with excitement. Typhus is even cooler than malarya. She had that too, you know! (She's recovering, by the way. It wouldn't be cool if she wasn't --- I'm not a monster!)

My Person gave me the nicest pair of brown boots. Tomorrow she is giving me a coat that goes with them. I TOLD you she has the best hand-me-downs.

I have observed some of the coolest things about people in my church. I will share them the next time I blog. I'm done now. :)

Glad to catch up. I don't get on MSN much anymore with work sucking up the majority of everyday. I miss catching you around on this thing.

Jer tells me you're going home for Christmas and I won't be there :( Very sad. I'm not going to make it there at all over Christmas this year. We fly from here to Tucson on Dec 31 though :)

Enjoy your days :)

I know that I should be leaving a comment related to what you said in your blog, but this actually just a test to see if I am really able to leave comments now.

Okay, here's the deal. You guys are going to Ontario for Christmas (I have heard through the grapevine...oh yea, and Sarah just mentioned it). I am going to be in Barrie the week after Christmas. I need to see you guys. Let's make this happen. (Talk amongst yourselves.)
