Not my best few weeks ever. Since my last update life has been rather hectic. My 17 year old cat was hospitalized for a bad kidney infection. Being the retarded ass I am, I hadn't bothered to get a new pet health care plan after I discarded the old one, so everything came out to a wee bit over $2,000 for a two-night stay. But I'm happy to say he's bounced back rather beautifully. I'm sure the blood he ingested from by battered, punctured hand (cats, apparently, seem to protest having half a dozen pills shoved down their throats five times a day for a week) had some delightful healing properties. He's back to eating like a horse and chomping down on any hand or cat face that comes between him and his dish. I think I was more traumatized in the long run that he was. I called in sick for the first time in like two years because I was so stressed. I spent most of the past two weeks picking at my food, snapping at anyone who tried to speak to me, and sitting around in my pajamas with my kitty in my lap.

But yeah, when the highlight of your week is crouching next to the litterbox and getting exited because of how well your cat poops, you a) realize why most people use "cat person" as a pejorative and b) decide maybe you DO need a boyfriend.

On a happier note, Star Wars Leggo II is the best DS game evar. If I hadn't had the damn DS to distract me now and then, I think I really would have lost it.
