[posted on LJ yesterday but posting delayed elsewhere]
I hope everyone had a nice Autumnal Equinox.
After a rough start (I woke up feeling *blech* and hurting all over and went right back to bed to sleep away the morning), I finally started feeling better in the early afternoon. It was a beautiful day out but I still ended up trashing all my plans for the day and enjoying it through the picture window in my living room. Windows open, though it got a bit hot for me - tomorrow looks to be a/c time again, for me at least.
I still don't have new kitties in my life yet. I've been achy and low-energy all summer and the house cleaning/de-cluttering is creeping along at a glacial pace. I find myself very much groking that old saying, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. I also find myself having peaks (troughs?) of depression where I deeply miss sharing my space with furry little bodies. I'm still missing Max insanely - I've had personal notes from not one, not two, but *three* different vets at the clinic he went to, expressing sympathy for my loss, plus they made a donation to a vet school in his name.
I've been pretty much avoiding LJ, except for reading fic, so I haven't read my flist in way too long. On the one hand, I miss you-all, on the other, it's very hard to wade back in to try getting back into things. I'm gonna try anyway, but suspect it's gonna be a halting stop'n'go type operation for a while. I guess you can "watch this space" if you want, see how I'm doing. ::crosses fingers::
LSO has been feeling pretty yucky the last couple months. Arthritis has really set in on her and so far I haven't had any success getting her to go to a rheumatologist. We're both way stubborn. She is heading off to the doc tomorrow for what seems like a sprained finger. A worrisome sprained finger, as it's been bothering her for over a week. Not how long it's taken me to get her to go to the doctor.
The presidential election is looming in the near future. Obama isn't my idea candidate, but he's light years ahead of the alternative. Honestly, McCain and Palin scare the crap out of me. Much more of the policies of the fundie neo-con power mongers and I don't think anyone will recognize the chewed-over remains they leave behind. Ideologically, environmentally, etc etc, they're gutting the Constitution, the environment, the economy and whatever else they get their fingers into.
The new television season is ... a post for another day. Gotta leave something to talk about later, gotta get to bed soon.</p>
