violachicMy spirits are slightly better today, although there's still a great deal of pain.
Things that are making me a Happier Camper:
1) Kitty came home! He seems like he's doing well so far, and we're praying hard that he doesn't have a relapse. I loved it earlier today when Larry walked by me with Sweetness riding on his shoulders, and they both had this total nonchalant look. I'll have to try to get a picture of that someday, its great.
2) I have gotten six get-well cards in the mail from CPTers. Some with pretty pictures, and at least one is homemade. One of them is from a woman who lives near my mother, and is friends with her. She is about a zillion years old, and has been to Iraq and Palestine with CPT, and is incredibly active in the peace and justice community in general. But just in case I did't know who she was, she wrote in little letters under her name "I traveled with your mom". Because, you know, that's her biggest accomplishment in life. It cracked me up.
3) Kate keeps bringing me presents home. One day it was several packages of wrapping paper from the Dollar Store with a hippie motif, and yesterday it was a pack of smiley-face stickers. One of these days, both Kate and Larry are going to come home and the entire apartment will be slathered with these smiley-face stickers, out of sheer boredom on my part. But not any higher than about five and a half feet, because I can't reach high right now.
4) I'm finding myself oddly satisfied that I've finally taken it in my own hand to straighten out the soap operas that are the neighborhoods in The Sims 2. Marrying off some already-made Sims to my own Sims to help get a little order in their lives, moving teens out of problem houses into better ones, using a cheat to change "aspirations" around, etc. I'm not sure why its so satisfying, but it must be my inner social worker/pastor/teacher, or whatever. Weird. I think I need more real-people interaction, or I'm going to start talking to The Social Bunny.

fille_de_livre and ahn1010 sent over a lovely get-well present a week or two ago that included a coloring book and crayons, silly putty, and play-dough. I've been getting into the swing of things, and actually been doing a fair amount of coloring. It reminds me of the survival packs we'd give each other in college around finals time. Erin and Ahn, I colored you a picture to hang on your refrigerator! I think I'll stick it in the mail. Its two-sided, too, so when you're tired of looking at one side you can just flip it over. Maybe I should color some for our refrigerator. Anyone who wants me to color them a picture, let me know. Its a Peeps coloring book.
6) There is a birthday party downstairs right now for our neighbor who is turning six. It is an Anime party. Our neighbors are already firmly established Geeks, but its nice to know they're encouraging another generation.
