Happy, full of schnitzel, and ready for a three-day weekend. I was to finally able to make some significant progress on a project that’s been causing me much stress at work this week. The side effects of my new medication have largely subsided. I have a great birthday present from Sarah to watch. And I have very few pressing commitments. I may even take some time to work on the other site. Looks like the makings of a good holiday weekend.
Very poetic comment spam from last night:

May I always:
- Seek out the things that make me happy.
- Avoid the things that make me unhappy.
- Have the common sense to recognize the fucking difference.
Thank you.
Biggest discoveries of the weekend so far:
- Sugar water with a couple of drops of dish soap really does work when you’re trying to kill gnats. You put it in a little dish, the sugar attracts them, and the soap keepe them from being able to get out.
- The Dark Shadows movie was every bit as wretched as I thought it would be, which is why I waited until I could see it for free. It was still overpriced.
- I make a pretty damned good meatloaf. Just sayin’.
- I need to get rid of lots more stuff at both houses. Fortunately, I’m feeling really motivated right now.
Just incredibly busy.
I like to clarify that from time to time.
I call it Rebel Rebel because I’m not sure if it’s a boy or a girl. I suspect, though, that he’s a boy, so I shall henceforth refer to him as one.
I’m seriously allergic to cats so I’m only going to let him be so much a part of my life. I do feed him when he comes around, though, and I give him water. And I let him rub up against my leg. He seems healthy and he’s very affectionate so I assume he’s not feral. I think he may belong to someone in the neighborhood. He sort of comes and goes but it makes me surprisingly happy when I see him sleeping out on the deck. And I have a fantasy that he’s intimidating the mice as well.
It’s actually the perfect cat scenario for me. I think my mom may have had the same arrangement with this same cat. And he’s just kind of adorable…
Seriously. What’s not to love?

Feeling alive beats hell out of feeling dead, and is rather a nice change of pace.
