Beta is going to the vet tomorrow to be neutered. I am of course a nervous Mom. I'm sure he'll be fine, but it's still the kind of thing that makes me worry. He's such a sweet and adorable and cuddly boy now that I don't want to lose that. I could do without the feline wars that have been taking place in the middle of the night when I'm trying to sleep, or while I'm trying to work. But I don't want my cuddly little pumpkin, the one who sleeps in my arms when I'm at the computer, to stop doing that.
I know I have to do it; it's the right thing to do for him, and for me, since I don't want an unfixed male cat in the house. I'm just a worrying mom.
The Right Bastards cd I gave to a co-worker was well recieved. She said it sort of reminded her of Bare Naked Ladies. (BNL fans who read this, I'll let you listen to my copy if you want.) And she was amused by the cover.
I've had two scary driving in the winter incidents in three days. I was bemoaning the ickiness of the melting and dirty snow but I'm okay with winter being over.
I'd be okay with winter being over too; the weather is murder on my asthma. I'm having trouble breathing on a near-daily basis and it makes me unhappy that being out in the cold for more than a few minutes here or there makes me wheeze. I don't want more drugs. I just want to breathe.
I got a set of Combo Cards today. These are entertaining, though I'm not sure how I'll use them. I also got a stack of STD information in my mailbox at work today...which included a lovely picture of a dripping penis. I did a doubletake when I saw it, but then tossed it on my desk, and someone was eating popcorn and noticed it. Made a face and flipped it over.
I'm looking forward to the weekend...the training I was supposed to run was cancelled, which leaves me free to relax, to find a baby shower gift for my boss, maybe to head up to New Carrolton for something.
Must bake cookies next week too...I said I'd bring some to the baby shower, but I don't know what kind. I'll figure that out soon, so I can shop for ingredients and the like. Probably the usual two batches-one chocolate and one not. Ooooh, maybe the chocolate rasberry ones and some sugar cookies. Input?
Dad finally answered my e-mail about smallpox. I'm no closer to making a decision than I was before...it's moot until the vaccine is released to the general public anyway. Maybe a call to Val at the health department is in order.
Things on my mind. Need to catch up on paperwork first.
