Leda ran away last night.
Given that I’ve never had a cat run away and return, I’m not hopeful that I’ll ever see her again. It’s so fucking unfair. I love that cat. The whole thing reinforces something that’s been … Read more

Stayed home sick today.
Miserable headache and sore throat have now subsided, which is a relief. Mostly, I’ve been lying in bed, laptop on knees, trying to get some work done. I am an ultimate fan of wireless networking. … Read more
I am freaking HAPPY!!
I just got my care package, and all sorts of goodies inside. Three greeting cards, four mounting brackets, one fabulous roasting pan, two presents from Kimmy, my toiletry kit, and FOUR cans of Wolf Brand … Read more
My dad called for the first time in months last night.
I only spoke to him for a few minutes, though, because we were headed into the city to watch “The Sopranos” at a friend’s house. He asked for pictures “of the area” where we live. … Read more
I think that today is the first “pretty bad” day I’ve had since I came here.

Well, the turtles are safely in CA. The house is being jacked up as I write this. Had breakfast with Marianna this morning, which was lovely and absolutely needed, and I’m going to the movies … Read more
D-minus 4.
