of frets and frets

whitereflectionBack to work, back to class. Naturally, like a lot of others I imagine, I don't really wanna. I was rather enjoying the time off, too much so, really. I'm damned lazy...but it was just nice to chill out some. Even if I can't seem to shake my penchant for worrying and going into anxiety mode about *something*. Stupid thing discovered at work though...seems back when the Learning Center used to be here, they used recycled papers to make gummed notepads. Good idea, of course, reduce reuse recycle and all that--but we discovered that they used papers with student and employment information on them...like social security numbers, things like that... *flails* Iiiiidiots! Now we're having to go through all those old notepads to shred the information with SSNs and such. Criminy, nice way to spread around peoples' personal info. >_o Seems that for being the Learning Center, that place did not think much.
...man, it's December already. The final exam for Japanese is on Dec. 15... Ohman.... *panicshyperventilates* And there's going to be some sort of interview/speaking & listening thing we have to do that sensei will grade us on--she'll be scheduling those for early next week. The thought of it makes me feel ill...
Yeah, I should shut up about my cat. But I just wish he would *eat* more. He's been losing weight since this all started, and he's not stabilizing yet. Bebop seems to be liking that canned food. He's always acting hungry, always trying to beg and steal stuff. But when I do give it to him, he just doesn't eat much--and they say he should go through two ounces at a time, four per day. He hasn't gone through the first fourteen ounce can yet, and it's been...almost a week, as of tonight. That's why they started him on the fluid injections, because they say cats going through renal failure get nausea and have trouble eating. I hope the fluid treatment helps soon...I don't want to see him just waste away. Especially since he seems so active and behaving like himself (badly -_-;; ). Yeah, it's a pet...but for me, they're children, not even joking. I'll never have children, never adopt, so the four cats are it. And I do ok when all is well--but it seems like things get tough, and I prove what a godawful 'parent' I am. ...frankly, if he doesn't stop losing weight, then for sure I won't/can't go out to Seattle over break. Money and friends who are willing to deal with his food/injections aside, I can't take the chance that things would go critical while we'd be gone. Damn it, I wish I could just *fix* this.
Have a bunch more Blue October stuff. That makes me most happy. Though it's really hard to find track listings, discographies, lyrics and whatnot, because so *many* of the sites out there mix up the British Blue October, and the US band (from Houston, TX, I believe). Maybe if I can come up with the time one of these days, I'll try to organize what I know is the correct info, just for the hell of it. There used to be a kickass page with all their lyrics, really nicely done, but now I can't find it--I think the page went down after the band got re-signed by Universal. Yet another yay for the US corporate recording industry. >_<
Man, I need to make a list of who I need to get Christmas things for, and what to get them... The guy I used to work with at the VA who does the glassblowing work is having his open house this weekend. I need to get to that. Wonder if James is going to try to be in Seward to help them finish work on the grandparents' house, or if he's just going to do Amptguard. And might need to work in a trip down to KC, perhaps perhaps...
Wish I knew if this was just a sinus/allergy headache, or if it's tension/stress, or both...whichever it is, it's day three... >_<;; Go away, already. *flails a bit* More motrin, more motrin.

Date: 2003-12-01 11:18 am (UTC)...um, maybe Bebop has gotten conditioned to the idea that if he eats normally, he'll be in pain-- so that's why he's not eating much? If you someone get it to him that it's ok for him to eat now and he won't have whatever pain he had before, maybe he'd eat... more....?
