Happy Meme of Happy Happiness
Rob at Laughing at the Pieces tagged me on a meme and said for me to do it when I'm out of hibernation. I'm not even close to poking my head out of the cave, but no one needs a happy like someone writing a war book.Some number of things I'm happy about:
1) My husband's high school reunion (correlating to Rob's # 7). Best friends and eighties music, all in one night!
2) My cat Tiggy got good blood results yesterday. She has chronic renal failure, which is a terminal illness, but she's much improved from a month ago, so I'm setting back her Doomsday Clock to 12:01 a.m., as befitting an immortal creature.
3) Just got ARCs of Wicked Game in the mail. They're gorgeous, and the acknowledgments made my husband smile. I have a fun contest planned here next week to see who gets the very first one.
4) The soundtrack to HBO's Rome finally came out. When I bought it, Amazon told me that I should also buy the soundtrack to 300. So I did (though I accidentally paid 8 bucks extra for the stupid deluxe version). They are both outrageously wonderful and perfect accompaniment for writing a war novel.
5) Joe Torre will be managing the Dodgers next year.
6) Brett Favre is having the season of a lifetime, proving that 38-year-olds can still kick ass.
7) There's a comet in Perseus that is currently bigger than the sun. No, I'm serious.
I'm shy about tagging people, so consider it all-inclusive. Just link back here. Have a happy weekend!

She's still losing weight, but I think it's stabilizing around 6 lbs. She's 16, almost 17, and has hyperthyroidism AND borderline hypertension. Oh, and arthritis. She has about a medicine cabinet's worth of pharmaceuticals and supplements now. :-)

We had a kitty with the same problem- just watch her eyes- one of the side effects that we experienced was high blood pressure and glaucoma- he was going blind from it, and we didn't notice until a very gifted vet spotted the signs. It was mostly reversible, but added to the many medications that the poor little guy was on.
Congrats on the book- it'll be on the list to buy once it comes out!

So I'll be limiting my travels over the next ?? months (basically, the rest of her life). She got very sick in October after I/we had been out of town four weekends in a row. I think it was a combination of stress and not eating as much. My hibernation suits her very well. :-)

I'm glad she's doing better.
