good and bad news
good:
i think my work and class schedule will be fun this semester. i haven't felt rushed to get anywhere or resigned to being somewhere once. yeah. it's been what? three days? but i think i've got a schedule that moves me around just enough without those long stretches in one spot or those running around periods.
the two classes i've had so far have been fun, and promise to be enlightening and hard as hell, in the good way. the old english is really a crash course type of thing. our lesson today pretty much took care of the equivelant of three weeks of latin. yikes. and that pre-great vowel shift pronunciation is hard to wrap my mind around. there will be lots of goofy practicing this weekend.
festus is back among the mira household, though poor charlotte is none too pleased and acting pissy about it. he seems to be all right, and hasn't exhibited any of the traits that would make me hate myself this weekend [you know, crying in the litterbox, limping horribly, bleeding... that kind of stuff]. he has been curled under the bed for a while, but he's been gone, and it's natural for him to want the comfort of a hidy-hole.
i have lots of food and juice, and am going to fill up some containers with water soon. [see? still on the "good" category] there is plenty of cat food and litter, and there are enough quilts in the apt for all three of us to be warm. i've stuffed a towel in front of my VERY drafty door, and will be doing the windows next.
which leads up to
bad:
winter storm thingy this weekend with strong chance of power outage. means even if i've got food, there won't be a way to cook the stuff. makes me happy for peanut butter, bread, crackers, and cereal. if i keep the fridge shut except to quick-grab something out of it, my food should keep for a while. so add yogurt and cheese to the list. and the veggies i bought at the beginning of the week. so i won't starve. but i'd been planning to cook.
still feeling a bit on the guilty side over festus. i think it will linger. i have to just keep telling myself that it was the right decision, that otherwise he'd be homeless. at least now he's loved and cared for. esp in this weather.
bro is in this weather too, up yonder. it must be colder for him, since the latitude is higher. at least he has a kicking red scarf to keep his neck and chest warm.
AMS may be in this too. i don't know where her town is up there. she's got a scarf too. ditto ems.
ah well. that's the update thus far, as well as the explanation for any possible silences in the near future.
much love all,
love and peace
