Yes, sparkley. It glittered like a vampire.
In the interest of getting me to a painkiller and then bed as fast as possible, I will do a quick update, in point form:
- Still miss Major terribly, but I have a kitten now named Charli Dickens, because she is a little dickens. She's lovely, and I wish I'd had her earlier, because Major would have loved her.
- Knitting? WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT.
- In Vancouver to see Oma, who is in the hospital. She has preleukemia, and yes, she really is dying this time. Has been for a long time now, actually, but we're likely to see the end before the end of this year. Very likely. No official prognosis as of yet, but the unofficial off the books one is "a few months, maybe". Whatever happens, I just want her to be pain-free.
- I have a place for next school year already, and I'm getting a new old car.
- Been wearing the same pants and skirt and top for a week now. Want to go home to Powell River.
- Very upset over Canada's actions re: the G20. I shouldn't have to rehash; either you've been paying attention or you haven't. If you haven't, check out the Vancouver and Toronto Media Co-ops for an idea of what went down. (Like the arrest of 1000 innocent people, maybe, I don't know.)
- Have been working like a dog on various projects that I will go into detail on in a later post, but right now...
I sleep. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
