Well, I seem to be all ready for Anthrocon…everything’s printed, packed–art, clothes, merchandise, printer, watercolor supplies–notes that say things like “Syringes Here!” are posted around the house for my stepmother who is kindly taking care of the beasties, laundry has been done, whatever I’m gonna forget is forgotten. I got up at 7 this morning, […]

Tonight, I watched home movies. Specifically, my father’s home movies of Egypt, which he took while working there (he does a lot of international schtuff.) James has been looking for shots of the desert for a project he’s working on, and Dad, following 18 months in Cairo, said “Desert? Sure!” While home movies are generally […]

Well, Loki’s fine–they’re upping his insulin dosage, and we’ll test again in two weeks. Most likely, they’ll raise it yet again–he’s a BIG cat, and the first dosage wasn’t nearly high enough–but the vet is taking it slow to make sure his poor fat system doesn’t melt, which is probably a good thing. While it […]

Taking Loki-butt into the vet tomorrow morning–they don’t take appointments Sunday, but the vet wants to run another blood glucose test to see what’s up. I’m trying not to freak out–I realize that of course, it’s early in the treatment, there’s fine tuning, and since he IS being treated, he’ll be just fine. I know […]

Loki’s glucose was really high this morning. It’s been pretty high all along, since we just started the insulin, but it’s been a week now, and it’s…pretty dang high. Damn. He seems perfectly healthy otherwise–it would take some serious drugs to make him frisky, but he’s at least cheerful–and he displays none of the signs […]

Magnets done. Prints almost done. Running off the panoramics, now–I’ll have the lesbian angels, the bluejay frog, the grey fox geisha and maybe one of the weird little monster with the giant tree. Almost done. Originals matted, about to mail. Ulcer, almost done. Probably because I’ve been watching old Star Trek lately on the Sci-Fi […]

Went out, got a cat liter pan and some aquarium gravel so I can collect urine so I can test Loki’s ketone and glucose levels. Fun stuff. While I was there, after petting the adorable pit bull puppy and detaching the labrador puppy from my hand, I saw containers of catgrass. I thought, “Hey, why […]

Working on magnets here, mostly comic related to go with the very cool arty ones that Ellen Million made up for me. I’m going mostly for Gothbat and Chu, with a couple Meewunks thrown in. The chu magnet looks like this, since everyone’s always requesting the I Heart Goats shirt. I’d like to do a […]

Yesterday was really productive. I didn’t quite realize how productive until I was doing my standard lie-in-bed-and-wonder-why-I’m-not-sleeping thing and tallied up the day’s achievements–ran off prints, matted most of my original art, did new painting, sent out cover alterations to client, arranged to get other originals matted, ran errands, etc. For one day, s’not bad.
