Eeeeee, there's a three-week old Siamese mix waiting for me at WCAS! I miss bottle babies! Come on, day! Scootch by faster!
...Oh. Oh, wow. They're also looking to hire a new Foster/Rescue Coordinator. Is it wrong that I'm kind of tempted? I won't apply, because we'll only be in NC another nine months or so and I know the job would turn me ( Read more... ) -
Mandated Naps
I walked into the office this morning with a lunch box full of mint/lemon tea, a squeezy bear of honey and a bag of Ricola drops. I was prepared!
And then my boss came into my office to ask me some questions about feline behavior. One of his cats was put to sleep on Friday, the other hasn't eaten since, and he wanted to know if that was typical.

All kinds of unsightly stuff
My nose and throat have felt like abraded fiberglass for almost a week. I honestly can't remember the last time I was sick for more than a 24 hour period, and 80% of those instances were food poisoning. This may have left me completely unprepared to cope with longterm sickness, because I've been doing a lot of whining and flailing about it (both ( Read more... ) -
Shinies
I've been thinking about purchasing an E-Reader. It just seems like a practical idea - I've sacrificed too much luggage weight to books in the past, I can't comfortably fit more than one into my purse (inconvenient when you're ripping through a series), and our bookshelves are becoming unmanageable. When I tentatively told Nick that I was ( Read more... ) -
On Second Thought...
So there was this whole long post here about wrangling wedding guest lists, and then I thought better of it. Because I will make this shit work and I don't care if it eats into the moving fund. Sorry if you happened to catch it!
Instead, you should totally check out Mark Reads Harry Potter, because it's A) a fabulous use of your afternoon and B) ( Read more... ) -
Photography!
Firstly, allow me to introduce the internet to the poofiest hellion I have ever had the dubious pleasure of bringing up. Ilsa's calmed down enormously in the last couple days, but she's still the brattiest brat to ever brat all over this apartment. Not that that's a comment on her hygiene - surprisingly, she's been 100% neat and clean. It's just ( Read more... ) -
Doomed Endeavors
I've been thinking more and more about starting up some kind of weekly autobio comicy thing, but I find myself waffling between two concepts:
Slice o' Life stuff:
A redux on the starfish chibis of yore (with better art?), kind of a sitcom on paper.
Pros:
-I know a lot of very witty people
-Good chance to expand on drawing body types, faces and age ( Read more... ) -

Vacation was great, and hopefully the bugbites will fade with the sunburn ( Read more... ) -
Minication
This year's Trip Up North falls significantly less North than usual. The window between the end of Nick's summer teaching duties and the beginning of Katherine's autumn ones is just too small to justify a trip to the UP. So. We're gonna visit my mom, instead. Preliminary plans involve some light hiking, a cabin-camping trip and lots of being ( Read more... ) -
Switch Flip
This meme has been around for YEARS, and I've always meant to tackle it...but never got around to it for one reason or another:
