Vets, Tests and Busy Weekends

October 23rd, 2009

The vet visit for the cats went well today. Both got intranasal stuff for a booster and Mu had yummy banana worker. I still don’t understand why they’d choose fruit as a flavor, but I guess it works if he didn’t try to spit it all up.

My test wasn’t too bad after that. I wish I’d taken some better notes. It was six essay questions that I managed to get 8 written pages for. The hand wasn’t feeling too good after that.

Now, the week is finally over and I’m ready for some time to rest. Just gonna be gone to the Celtic festival in Richmond for part of the day. Then Sunday is SCA fourth Sunday and I’m really looking forward to getting more done with my projects I’m just about done with.

The Joy of School

October 22nd, 2009

Going back to school for my masters has been pretty good the last couple months. Tomorrow is my first test though and I can feel bits of the test anxiety coming up. I remember now why I never really studied. As I think more about the exam and read the chapters and go over notes, I begin to think about  how much I feel I don’t kn0w. It’s even open note. I shouldn’t be too worried since i’ve been doing very well with all the other assignments and writing.

I’m sure that i’m over thinking all this but it makes it aggravating to try to get this done and feel confident before I get shut in a room at work with HR and have to finish.

Cats aren’t making it easy by sitting on chest and keyboard as I type. I think they are tuned into my subconscious…

Awkwardness

October 19th, 2009

How do you tell a good friend that his now-constant wearing of a Bluetooth ear thing makes him look like a huge, douchbaggy tool?

I bet there’s an ecard for that…

Big boy

October 18th, 2009

It seemed this weekend that Mu was significantly bigger than just a short while ago so I weighed him on the kitchen scale. No, not directly. I used an amazon box. Very scientific. He’s gone from 3# 12oz. to 4# 5oz. in just under a week. I’m not really sure if that’s normal, but it’s interesting how my little buddy is growing.

Ralph gained 2oz. from Friday, and I’m glad he’s getting better. His slower gain is really highlighted against Mu, but the month difference in them also plays a part as well.

I made spreadsheets for tracking their medical records. Yeah, nerds and cats are a good way to cause explosions in inate data.

I’ll have charts though. Super awesome charts. With colors.

Maybe I’ll work in unicorns too.

It has begun

I forgot to fully shut my bathroom door this morning. That was a good lesson for me.
