I’m the subject of hate poetry:

Doesn”t that make me feel special.

Thanks to the City of Austin, I now have a new, free programmable thermostat. Why do I suddenly fear waking up to it being 50 degrees in the house? Or 100? There are so many little buttons to play with…

So, I just got back from a trip to NY where I spent a whole evening at a really cool party being too shy to talk to anyone. I’m an idiot! Oh well, it was fun watching everyone.

So, I’m sitting at home totally stressed out because all of the data and files on a site I made (ezohn.com) and have become obsessed with have been lost. Add to that a general lack of sleep due to insomnia and you’ve got one stressed out puppy. I’m busy re-importing the database in small chunks and re-uploading all the files when all of a sudden, there is very load hammering going on outside my house right on the other side of the wall. Turns out, I was getting siding installed on my house today day. Who knew? Certainly not me.

My dad always had a deck of cards near him – either cards or seek-and-find books. He had cards stashed all over the house. This past weekend, mom had some friends over and they wanted to play a card game. Mom spent hours looking and couldn’t find a single deck of cards in the house! Dad must be bored in the great beyond and came back to get them to play with…

Somehow Sasha has managed to completely remove her bandage and splint…along with huge tufts of cat hair. *I love my cat, I love my cat, I love my cat.* Wonder how much this vet visit will cost?

Sasha’s hanging in there – but not too happy. I think you can see why:

Sorry for the lack of new photos. This is due to a number of reasons. First, I haven’t felt like taking many recently – been being very much a homebody. Second, my computer had to once again be dismantled so some construction-type work could be done in the computer room. Third, my cat Sasha dislocated a toe and is in a great deal of pain. I’ve had to isolate her from my other cat and have been spending a lot of time just holding her and trying to make things feel better. She has to wear a splint for 3-4 weeks! With any luck, my computer will be back up soon and I can scan in her x-rays. Won’t that be fun.

Okay, $371 for the cat, $160 for a new hotwater heater and $1,300 for the construction work. I need a part-time job!

James, wherever you are, please let us know you are safe.

Today would have been my dad’s 61st birthday.
