I had such a mixed-up week. I get confused when a lot of bad things and good things happen in similar time frames.
I've ordered that statue and I think that was the right call. I also got a very small bonus at work, along with a so-called Certificate of Excellence, which was related to a specific project, that made me feel really good, and my new minion got a lot of things done too. Then just when I was feeling all competent and happy, I got a bug assigned to me that's really hard (whine), and I spent the last two workdays not getting very far. I need to go work on that. I also need to stop feeling pissed off at my mom for her passive-agressive "I never got a thank-you card" email, since I know damn well she's just wired to be that way.
My friend Stencil is an in-patient at a hospital this weekend, getting something unspecified snipped out of her back. Early-stage cancer?? It's scary. I've put together a post-op care package for her... I hope it's not too big or too small. And my other much older friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluechromis moved away for med school. I wasn't able to help very much, and it's always hard to believe someone has really moved if I have no memory of carrying the boxes.
Watching piggy Hobbes gobbling up his tuna and asking for seconds on breakfast, it's a bit hard to believe he wasn't eating at his old home. Our inter-cat drama is finally on the wane... Nala's a problem but there hasn't been a cat fight for days. They just meow querulously (Nala) and chirp (Hobbes) at each other and then Hobbes generally shows submission by walking away. Usually Nala doesn't chase any more, and when she does, she gets in trouble. In the meantime, Rafe has actually become friendly and will nuzzle Hobbes when they're all waiting for their tuna (there is no fighting at this time -- the Great Tuna Truce goes into effect when we open the can).
Disturbing news just in from the MIT gymnastics coach: Many of you learned, as I did, that there was a catastrophic injury in the gym this past Monday evening. Suffice it to say, I find this deeply upsetting for its tragic consequences and timing (just when the facility has entered its current state of ambiguity). WTF? What happened??
