My Day

[tinhuviel]

I didn't have to wait nearly as long at the school today as I have the other days. Today was the day I would find out whether or not I would have to take any placement tests. Because of my extensive English courses in both high school and college, I was fine there. Math was a different matter. They set me up for a math test to see if I'd need to take any algebra courses. I went into the testing room resigned to the fact that I was about to make a spectacle of myself. It turns out that I did better than I expected and actually did well enough to not have to take any math courses. ::puffs up:: Maybe I'm better at math than I thought I was. Or maybe I'm just a really good guesser. Either way, I was in the home stretch of registration. I was directed to the registration office where I signed in and began to wait. It took about an hour before I was called back. My "adviser" had the personality of wet towel. That said, registration when quickly and without incident, although he did ask me if I had cats because he noticed the scratch I got on my arm, courtesy of Aloysius. When I told him yes and how many, he looked at me like I was some sort of crazy cat lady and hurried me out of his cube. That's fine. At least now I have my class schedule and equipment requirements. I get to go back on Friday and mooch for money, aka talk to Financial Aid.

While I was waiting to be registered, I wrapped up "Sui Generis" with, if I may say so, a mighty fine segue into "Beautiful Pets." It still needs some tweaking here and there, but I'm well-pleased to finally have this story/chapter behind me. Cadmus' brief biography has been plaguing me for...oh....six years. It's about bloody time I got it on paper.

After I left the school, I zipped by Llew's place of employment and dropped off my computer so he could work on that Power Point project. The plan was that I'd pick the computer up when I went to see him at home this evening. After leaving the shop, I stopped at the vet's office to pick up some Interceptor for the dogs, then I went home and collected Aunt Tudi to take her to her eye doctor.

We got to Dr. Weeks a little early, so they went ahead and took Aunt Tudi on back. They dilated her eyes, which is always fun -- for me. I love dilated eyes. I think there's something fundamentally Elven about them. So I've spent a lot of time gazing into Aunt Tudi's eyeballs. She got a pretty good report. Her cataracts are a little foggier, but not too bad, and she still doesn't need prescription glasses. She's 62 and only needs drugstore reading glasses, and I'm 38 and have been wearing prescription lenses for two years. What's wrong with this picture?

After the doc, we ran by the grocery for some pop, milk, and cheese, because that's what we're living on at the moment. By the time we got home, both of us were so sick from the heat, Aunt Tudi passed out on the couch in front of a fan, and I horked up my lungs in the bathroom. I hate Summer. And I hate global warming. And I hate that shithead in Washington DC who says there's no such thing. Thanks to my getting sick from the heat, mine and Llew's festivities have been postponed until Thursday evening. He came back on his way home from work and gave me my computer and here I am.

At least now, I've cooled off and am no longer churned up from the heat. Blech. Tomorrow we're under another heat advisory. I may avoid the out of doors at all costs.

I waved as I flew over you yesterday. Did you see me??

I also flew in view of a super cell teaming with lightning and laced with a double rainbow.

I thought of you.

You're so sweet.

Avoiding the outdoors sounds like a good plan.

I wish I could. Nope, two appointments today (the long one in the afternoon, when you could burn your Stankbread just by throwing it out your car window - it would be charred before it hit the asphalt and turned to a fine ash.) That, then a Chiropractor's appt, then a stop for dinner (no way in here (cause it feels like hell already) was I going into my kitchen tonight), at which point I was nauseous from the heat. I also have appointments tomorrow, when it will also be too fucking hot for words.

I really need to find someone to poke in the eye. grrrr.... someone must pay.....

On a happier note, congrats on the school stuff - sounds like it is moving along spiffily (yeah, heat makes me make words up). And further congrats on Sui Generis - hopefully this will convince Cadmus to give you a bit of piece for a day or so.

And dilated eyeballs are cool. If they are still well along, you should have Aunt Tudi be your Advance Watch for Possums and the nightime Pride - she should be able to see in the dark almost as well as they can right now! (I now I could when I've had it done.)

I was promised naughtiness on my Friends Page tonight.

The least you could do is make something up.

Dude, I can barely muster strength enough to achieve actual naughtiness, much less make any up. Check my memories and click on "we three." There's naughtiness there.

Under what category would it be filed? Because I couldn't find it.

Here ya go. Mind, this is from a time before I had my libido surgically removed.
