It's been a long time...

Anyhoo, no excuses. A lot has changed since I last wrote. I'm now a full time working woman; yes I got the research job in government. It's full on. I have only worked cruddy customer service type jobs up until now and this is the first position I've held with some level of brain work required, as well as accountability.

In other news... I bought a laptop today! I was considering an Apple but ended up with a Toshiba. It's all lovely and shiney and new, and I am so impressed with it. I am still writing my thesis (although I haven't touched it for months, the semester starts next week). Now I can write in bed or outside or on the couch, whereever I feel like, instead of being shut in the study in the back of the house.

Had a bad turn of events when I got home from buying the laptop though, Basil (the cat) has been really sick, all over the house, and is spending the night in the vet hospital. At a cost of $650. That's nothing, I know, as he has fast become my furry little man in the year or so that we've had him; I love him so much and it was very upsetting seeing him in so much pain. He may have an obstruction in his bowel, so we're waiting overnight to find out if he's ok. The x-rays they've done can't pick anything up that is definitely an obstruction although there is something suss there, the vet said. My poor little boy... I love you Basil, thinking of you, sending you lots of love little one...
