Ah….. I love my internet. We’re back online and have cable once again. It’s nice. Of course, it completely sucks having no money to actually do anything other than pay bills.

When I was last online I was getting ready to post about how I passed my Dosage II midterm with a 93%. Unfortunately I forgot to hit the “post” button and the entry never ended up online. I took my final for that course yesterday, but haven’t gotten a grade yet because I’ve got a new teacher for my Ethics/Morality class (not to be confused with my Ethics/Law class from my first course).

Eddie’s mom arrived and departed without any problems other than a search of her bags after she got her boarding pass (the offending jar of preserves was marked as “ok” and everything was repacked).

I was sick for a while. It started as your typical sneezing/sinus/head cold thing and then proceeded to be a nasty chest cold that left me coughing all the time. I ended up camped out on the couch for about a week, which was fine with me because A) it’s hella comfy, and B) my period showed up a week earlier than expected, so I didn’t miss much action in the bed. I’m back in bed now, and have been since the weekend. It’s much nicer to snuggle with Eddie than it is to camp out in the loveseat, no matter how comfy it is.

I finished the afghan I was working on. It’s missing two panels because everytime I’d finish one and count, I’d still need two more to be made. I blame the local union of crochet gnomes, who must have come into my house at night and taken the extra panels out; it’s the only logical explaination. I also did one other afghan that came out really snuggly and comfy. Both are at my mother’s while I work on other crafty things for the holidays.

Speaking of crafty things, I made a kitty hat that came out supercute, even if the ears aren’t quite as cat-like as I wanted them to be (but I know the next one will be better). However, considering that I had no pattern to go by (and quite happily managed to figure it out on my own, without a pattern), I think that it turned out pretty well. Eddie likes it, and announced yesterday afternoon “I’m going to do you with the kitty hat on”. I’ll probably start making another one later this week if I don’t start anything else in the meantime. It’s highly doubtful I’ll start anything since we’re flat-broke, rent is due in a couple of weeks, and there’s some bills that need to be worked on.

Pickle is being a typical ferret. We brought her to my mother’s one day and put up a gate in the hallway so she’d have some space to be running around, and she decided that was the perfect time to figure out how to climb up and over the gate. Eddie’s mother bought us a nice petcarrier so we can bring her to mom’s more often.

Eddie is working overtime this week, which will help our bank account out a lot. Last week he lost 2 hours because I’d left the headlights on and drained the car battery, and he had to come up and give me a jump after school. That was an event - the battery in the car died, and the battery in my phone died after a few frantic text messages to Eddie, and then after pulling everything out of the trunk we discovered neither of us had jumper cables, so we needed to buy some at the Target across the parking lot.
