Well, at least it is Friday and also I am feeling decently well today. Might be because it is Friday. Things going on: * Gaming tonight so yay! * Averaging about 7 miles of walking workouts a week. * Minor weight loss so bleah. * Chocolate is barely gaining weight and the vet has put her on more meds. This time a pancreatic enzyme twice a day on top of the three others she's already getting. Vet thinks it might be some trouble with her pancreas. Previous thoughts included stomach cancer that is hardening the walls of the stomach so that it can't absorb nutrients. Which might still be a possibility... *sigh* She's also scheduled for weekly vet visits for the next month. * Lilly is still being a right pain... It's almost at the point of kicking all the cats out of the bedrooms permanently... which neither of us really want to do, especially as Chocolate likes to curl up with us. She's going to the vet Monday to check for potential UTI. So either dimiss or fix that problem... if dismissed that just means its behavorial... which is harder to correct. * Work is continuing, though utterly boring. Supposed to be working on an initial notification for the Chemical Manufacturing rule, but I have to run it past my boss... and she's got so much going on that I hear from her about it once every two or three days... She brings me edits, I get them done in 15 minutes and send back, and two days later we discuss it again... Was annoyed this morning with the copier/printer as was having issues getting it to print ledger sized sheets. Finally figured out what the problem was and how to get it to work. But for a while was very confusing and annoying. Boss also asked why I was doing it when it was another person's task. It's because they didn't know how to do it and neither did I since the initial attempts weren't being successful and I couldn't figure out what was the problem to even tell the other person how to do it. Finally did and everything went smoothly from there. * Am enjoying my new mix CD despite the issues involved in putting it together. Windows Media is not an easy program for creating MP3 CDs... Used Nero and there I had to hunt down the actual files. But got it done and now have a CD with a wide range: Bond, Aerosmith, Camelot, Queen, Riders in the Sky, Nox Arcana, Brian Setzer, Savatage, Dr. Horrible, The Lost Boys, etc. Leads to pretty strange shifts. * Witchcat has another interview today. Hopefully one of them turns out as an offer for her. * Oh, also found a site with free ringtones that can be downloaded to the computer and transferred to the phone... except my phone doesn't have a removable memory where I can load the ringtone onto it and then put it in the phone... Am looking around for USB type cables that can hook the computer to the phone and do it that way. Current Music or book: Brian Setzer: Swingin' Willie (William Tell Overture)

But first... ( a MEME )Friday was work as normal... until it started snowing/sleeting and raised the snowpanic level to a frosty orange :P I wasn't too worried though considering the amount of salt spray that was already coating the roads and also I figured if I rushed out when everyone else did, I'd just be stuck in that lemming dash. However, it did pick up even more and I guess to alleviate the mass traffic jam issues of the last snow dump (6-7 years ago?), the State closed it's offices early and sent people home. So woot! Avoid messy snow driving and home early?! Hehe, though once home, we did go out on some errands. In hindsight, should have taken the trash too... So, spent most the day at home playing on the computer, then watching Doctor Who. Finished up Season Two and really laughed/enjoyed the Cyberman/Dalek confrontation :) Brilliant dialog!!! Watched the series of Doctor Who Confidential (cut-down version) as well. Nothing like Doctor Who with a cup of cocoa on a snowy day :) Saturday we prepped for a trip to Lenoir City, despite the snow. Unfortunately, found out the dump was closed... probably due to the snow... so had to take the garbage back home and double bagged it so it wouldn't stink up the house and hopefully the kitties wouldn't tear into it. See... the hindsight thing. (Witchcat plans to take it tomorrow as the dump is typically closed today. And it didn't stink up the house, nor did the cats tear into it fully. So all good) Even the main roads and hwys like Briley and I-40 were in pretty bad condition... It wasn't until we cleared Lebanon that the snow was fully cleared off I-40. However, after that point, it was smooth sailing. Got to Cookeville, loaded up the brothers and headed off following the parents... since Mom insisted that we follow them and not drive alone *sigh* What are you gonna do about your own parents? Anyways, didn't have any problems at all and arrived quite early to the restaurant. So, Witchcat and I took a stroll through the snowy lands nearby where some locals were sledding :) Much fun :) Grandpa seemed quite surprised to see so many of us when he was brought in for his 80-th surprise birthday party :P All but one of his kids made it and several other relations showed up. Was quite good and of course we ate too much :P Headed back home and the roads remained nice and clear so got home earlier than expected. Rather than drive on back home, we spent the night there. Which allowed us enough time to go sledding at the farm after feeding the barn cats. Took a bit to develop a good run as we would break through the crust and just have powdery snow, but eventually we got it going well :) My brother Emory and even my mother joined us in sledding :) Then went home and played Ninja Burger :) Sunday we got up and headed to Mass. Was interesting to note that a former calculus professor of mine was apparently also the musical leader at the church. Came back to the parent's house and sat around a bit before visiting Aunt Willie and then heading home to take care of the kitties. At least all the roads around Nashville were mostly clear by this time. Watched all the episodes of David Tennant's video diary for his first season of Doctor Who which was cool. And speaking of... It's great to see the series getting the love and attention it has gotten. Including such things as the National TV Award (I guess Britian's equivalent of the Emmy) for Best Drama, lighting of the Christmas Tree if Cardiff (where BBC is headquartered), and a special celebrity edition of The Weakest Link which was referenced in one episode :P Poor K-9...
