Weekly update
We started moving furniture at work this week, because we wanted to. I shifted my desk 1' forward. Woo-hoo! Considering my back was to a wall, it gives me a surprisingly large amount of new space. And a disturbing, worn circle in the carpet where my desk chair has been for the past six years. It never moved; I'd sit down and turn the chair to swivel under my desk, and turn 1/4 turn back again when I was ready to stand up.
And finally, the equipment upgrades I've been asking for for the past 18 months may finally be happening! No more eMacs!
In other news, Ike continues to move from his cute positions just as the camera goes off. I got him a step stool to use to get up onto the couch. It helps, when he decides to use it.
My father has been doing MUCH better this week. His doctors finally managed to bring the infection under control, and the talk was that he would be going home today. I talked to him on Thursday, and for the first time in a long time, we ran out of things to talk about before he ran out of steam. Of course, once he gets home, he'll be able to watch FOX news again and he'll have all KINDS of new things to argue with me about.
Once they're sure the infection is truly being controlled, he'll start some light chemo. Not sure what all it involves, but it's still just a matter of slowing the cancer as much as possible; remission is too much to hope for at this stage.
This was waiting for me when I went to leave for work tonight. Jinx was so proud of himself, purring and strutting around. Luckily, it was frozen stiff, which made it easier to dispose of- I was afraid at first it was just stunned and would wake up while I was carrying it to the trash! It was a pretty monstrous squirrel, too. No wonder it sounds like a stampede when they run across our roof.
After finishing of the Doctor Who Brilliant Book 2012, I took a break from Doctor Who and moved on to Bruce Campbell, reading his first book "If Chins Could Kill" before moving on to "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way," which I'm about 1/4th of the way through. Both are good, but (so far) I enjoyed the first one more, as it's an autobiography and the second one is a fictional retelling of his experience on a movie. It's fun, but I enjoy the true anecdotes the most.
And I'm still playing Skyrim. It's fun.
Still nothing more from John Gilmore to put into his book- I'll be doing this one at the last minute, I know it.
