Mark update. Depending upon how I'm feeling, I may drop by the hospital tonight and welcome back our cardiac patient--if he's awake when I arrive.
In case people haven't heard,
shellyrae had a bicycle accident Wednesday morning and is in the hospital with a fractured neck and a concussion. Turns out that the incident was recorded on the
Fremont Universe blog. I find the comments thread irritating (mainly all the "she should have been more careful" comments--even if it's true, it felt offensive to me mainly because she's my friend, in the hospital, badly hurt). Several of us from the office will be visiting her at lunchtime today. What a week, eh?
Sophie seems to be growing by inches on a daily basis. Yesterday when I came home from work, I looked at her and thought, "Her tail is longer." I'm sure it's proportional with her body growth; it was just an interesting moment. She's reclining on my chest right now, purring away. Her purr is lower. Just a few days ago, it sounded high and clicky. Now it's a deeper sound, centered more in her chest and lungs than in her throat (though I know that purring occurs in the throat, yes). She's growing, my little girl. And she and Spanky are playing on a more regular basis. From Spanky's perspective, it seems to grow out of irritation, but he never hurts her and is putting up with quite a bit of abuse.
jackwilliambell and I will be away on Saturday night. Really looking forward to it. It'll be the first time in a while we'll have just to be by ourselves together. Very happy about the trip. Details anon.
I'm reading "Perdido Street Station"...at last. Yes, it's taken me this long. I hang my head in shame, especially because I'm really enjoying it. It's my bus book, and its density and flavor makes me read more slowly, just savoring the language and the weirdness.
I purchased a couple of canvases earlier this week for painting projects I've had in mind. I don't know when on Earth I'm going to find the time to do them, but I do want to get them done. I've had little time to be creative lately, and I feel myself getting antsy, almost testy about it.
That's the general state of affairs at Chez
scarlettina. And how are things with you?
