I got the call today that my Honda was fixed and ready for me to pick up. I had started to get used to the Kia – and the Sirius was pretty nice – but it was good to get back to my car. \u00a0The body shop did a great job on the repairs and I was able to leave the rental with them for later pick up. Insurance covered all the repairs and the rental – which was nice and pretty easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve still got a bit of \u201csettling in\u201d to do with my car – emergency pack in the trunk and umbrella in the backseat – but I\u2019m good to go. \u00a0I\u2019ll make some calls tomorrow to the rental place and the insurance company to make sure there are no surprises. <\/span><\/p>\n

The cat is finally doing better too. \u00a0The \u201cpiller\u201d failed terribly – the pills fell right out – but we got the routine down after a while. \u00a0He\u2019s now off the meds and seems to be eating well. I had him on some wet food for awhile, but he\u2019s off that now too. \u00a0Even when he\u2019s healthy, he tends to eat it way too fast – and then throws it up. And while I\u2019m pretty good at cleaning up cat vomit, it\u2019s something I can do without.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s been sneezing a bit, but seems to be getting over that. I\u2019m guessing he picked something up while he was in the hospital and I\u2019ll take him back to the vet if he can\u2019t clear it on his own.<\/span><\/p>\n

And work is back to usual as well – though that\u2019s less of a good thing. We\u2019ve been working on an upgrade for the past two days and it\u2019s not gone well. \u00a0Tomorrow we\u2019ll bring the users back in and they all – every last one of them – have my phone number. My misfortune prone student assistants have been more prone than usual and I had three gone yesterday – which meant I was on the phones for two \u00a0and a half hours. I helped a lot of people, but didn\u2019t get much of my regular job done.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, things are back to my version of normal around here. \u00a0I\u2019m listening to some good music tonight and I\u2019m planning on getting to bed early – after I do a haiku, of course. \u00a0Only a couple of days left in the week and then I\u2019m looking forward to the weekend. I think I\u2019ve earned it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
