    has finished four punishing workouts in four days. Muscles feel like overstretched rubber bands.


    is wondering WHAT IN THE HELL is up with the buses tonight?! I’m going to be late for Fin’s birthday dinner!


    is groaning. All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ is not compatible with diet. Uuuuurrrrgh. (It was so good though.)



  • Petey Update

    He’s fine, just as the vet said he would be. Snookums took him into the house while I was parking the car, and he said that he seemed really excited to be back at home. We weren’t supposed to give him any food for a while, but he didn’t seem in the mood for eating anyway. He hid under the futon for a few hours to recuperate. Then about 8:30 he emerged, gave a stretch, and was back to his old self. I might be imagining it, but he seems more affectionate now too. He cuddled with us for a while when we went to bed, and he sat on my lap for a while this morning at breakfast. Dr. Amy, of course, was rather put out to discover that the interloper had returned. So we had to give her some extra cuddles too…


  • Knitting Apps

    Venks just sent me this list of knitting apps for the iPhone. I knew about StitchMinder, but the others were new to me. I did a search on the App Store and there are even more now! I just downloaded Yarn Pirateer, which is a free stash organiser.

  • Petey Update

    Petey Update: Today’s the day our little kitten gets neutered. I know we have to do it; it’s what responsible pet owners do. But I was still dreading taking him in. We had to take away the cat food at 9pm last night, which meant that by morning he was a very pissed-off little fellow. We managed to shut him up in the laundry so Amy could have her breakfast. Then we had to get him to the carrier and over to the vet. They keep him all day and we pick him up after work. Apparently the procedure for boy cats is pretty simple, and he should be back to normal within a day or two. I just feel guilty over causing pain to a little creature when I can’t explain that it’s for his own good. (This is another reason I don’t have kids.)

    Update: Just spoke to the vet. He’s doing fine! We’ll pick him up in a couple hours.

    survived. And thrived! I feel STRONG. I am a fightin’ machine.


    is trying to be extra nice to Petey. He doesn’t know that he’s only got 12 hours left with his testicles. Poor little guy!

    @henrytapia No, Petey is “Professor Death,” the kitten! And he’s at the vet right now, poor little guy…
