The weekend was pretty good. I stayed home from work Friday with a migraine. By the evening it was gone so Joe, velvedere and I went out and got something to eat. After that we proceeded on our way to the usual Friday night gaming session. We had a fairly memorable session because it was an in game memorial for a fairly long term and powerful character ( Read more... )

As soon as I leave work I'm heading home to pack for the Renn. Faire in Rogersville, TN ( Read more... )

I finally got around to buying a laptop. I spent most of Saturday driving around issue shopping for the laptop. I went to Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy and Circuit City. I found the laptop I wanted but they were out of stock in the Asheville Store. The sales person told me they did have plenty in the Arden store. I went to meet Michelle and ( Read more... )

It was a pretty good weekend. Friday night met at The Sword and Grail for the usual Friday night gaming group. I had a blast with that one. Joe ran a Star Wars game in place of the usual game as some people couldn’t be there. I got to play an earlier incarnation of one of my characters ( Read more... )

A little business first. A great big hug and thanks to everyone after the death of my cat. Your expressions of support helped more than you can ever know ( Read more... )

Well, my cat is gone. There was no way he could recover from what happened. He was a good cat and I’ll miss him very, very much. According to the vet there was nothing really that could be done. It was a total miracle that he made it through the night. I don’t think I’ll get another cat, at least not for a while.

The good: I have a new heater

The Ugly: It cost me $600 it could have been worse though.

The Bad: It doesn't look good for my cat. His Kidney's aren't doing much and the
bladder may be stretched out and unable to function. They are trying to
bring his electrolytes back into balance but that may or may not help.

Life just keeps getting better. Not only did my heater catch on fire for the second time, which means I have to spend money to replace it. Now my cat is at the vet’s office. Apparently he has a urine blockage (something male cats a prone to). I’ve already got a $300 vets bill so far and it may be more, assuming he survive. I hope he’ll be ( Read more... )

Once again the heater is fixed. The blown gasket was replaced. There was no service charge, which is good or I would have raised a huge stink. Bottom line I have heat again. I don’t trust it enough to leave the heat on when I’m not there or asleep. It will take some time before I trust it that much ( Read more... )
