Truly. Deeply. Madly

( Special! )

1. Godric is wandering around the house bawling like a lost baby calf. He gets all embarassed when I answer back, then goes to a room a little farther away and begins all over again.

2. I can't seem to stop eating things today! Luckily, I'm keeping to reasonably healthy stuff, but if the monster in mah belleh doesn't back down, the cats might not be truly safe in here with me. Maybe that's what Godric's on about...

3. I seem to be in a readey mood today. Oddly, also in a chatty mood. I'm not seeing those two dovetailing all that well.

4. Mithril is going to hate me in a couple of hours when I shove him in a bag and take him to the vet's. His arse isn't working, and they need to get him sorted out so he can poo. Yyyeah.

5. Mandala House is still in limbo. *Sigh* Have begun packing up the books that weren't caught up in The Wettening, and it looks like I'll wind up getting about 20 more of those tubs (at least) before I'm through. Thank GOD for Big Lots, that's all I got to say!

6. Painting is coming along reasonably well. I've begun incorporating a hair dryer into the process to shorten wait times between washes. It does cut down on the flow of the paint, but it helps flatten the paper out afterward, and that's officially a Good Thing. So Snape now has a green coat, but don't worry, it'll be nearly black once I'm done with it.

7. Days when the sky is the exact same colour as the snowy ground are really disorienting to me. I can never tell what time it is, because the light never seems to come FROM anywhere. It just arises, and then fades, and sometimes I don't even notice if it drops anything on us. It's like being in a whitish limbo. Not a fan of limbo, me. You might have guessed...

8. Brighid's feast day is in two days. Calleigh House is preparing for Brighidantia Bardic Bash, and I am gnashing my teeth in frustration. I can't throw the party I'd wanted to this year, because of the state of the house, and it just kills me! I wanted to greet Her return with singing and firelight and whiskey posset shared with my friends... dammit. I guess I'll just have to write something instead. She'll probably prefer that anyhow.

9. I'm in a cooking mood today, as well. This is problematic, because there's still no room for actual food in the freezers, so anything I make, we'll be eating for the next week. But I still want beef burgundy for dinner tonight. Dammit.

10. Well, whadaya know! Turns out High Fructose Corn Syrup really IS bad for you! Can you say "heavy metals poisoning," kids? But don't worry, the FDA's known about the unsafe mercury levels in processed foods which use HFCS for years now, and they haven't felt the need to warn anybody. I'm sure it's safe... (/sarcasm) Reading labels is a huge pain in the arse, but it's better than intentionally imbibing fucking mercury along with your cola and candybar of choice! Sheesh.

11. I truly do think the whole world would be better if evryone in it read at least one new book every month. If for no other reason than that you can't kill, rape, rob, abuse, hector, lie about, stalk, or sabotage someone while you're reading, and neither can you practicably steal, burn shit down, blow shit up, fuck shit over, or otherwise further the cause of destruction while a good book holds your attention. That, and ice cream diplomacy sessions, man! I could save the fucking world...

12. Apparently, I have trucker mouth today. So sorry...

They kept my cat.
I'll know more tomorrow, but the current theory is kidney disease.

He's never gonna forgive me for the enema...
