Catching up!

So sorry I have been a wee bit scarce! I have the mother of all sinus infections and that plus the antibiotics they have me on are really getting to me. There has been a lot of lethargy and grumpiness.

But! I did get the short story I had been working on submitted on time, thanks to the attentive assistance of beloved beta anat_astarte. I have my fingers crossed on that.

Newest review for Candlemark & Gleam (a wonderful small press who I support in every way possible) is live up at the review journal. It is for a fantastic and unique urban fantasy called Matchbox Girls.

djkc just allowed me to open my birthday present early. He replaced the electric tea pot I lost in the flood (it has temperature settings! For the different types of tea!). I am a bit of a tea snob at times, so proper teaware makes me insanely happy. Between the teapot and the coffee machine, djkc has made me a very happy writer. I think it is part of some sort of plot.

Lord Phaedrus had to go to the vet for a checkup yesterday. He was Not Amused. We eventually had to actually dump him out of the carrier so he could be examined. One shot later I brought him home and administered his worming. The vet gave up trying to worm him years ago. He becomes 20 pounds of muscle, tooth, and claw when they try. Sure, I now have a new cut on one hand, but Phae mostly just growls and acts grumpy when I do it at home. Big baby. Blood work at the next visit. Here's hoping for another normal white blood cell count!

Lol So Phaephae acts about as good as Zach at the vet. I have to hold him down for shots, and they always ask me to come collect and dump him in the kennels. He's got everyone properly scared of him. Big Drama Queen.

*huggles* I hope you're at least feeling better. Sorry I didn't call...I shall do so tomorrow!

Sorry to hear you've been sick. Here's to good health for both you and Lord Phaedrus.

Good luck with the story, too. At least you've done your part.

Crikey... I would NOT want to reach into that carrier... He is indeed king of the fluffiest of the fluffy. With teeth and claws.

Sorry to hear about the sinus thing. If you are interested I have a tried and true home remedy :)

A temperature control kettle was my birthday present from my twin last year - for the same reason! :-D

Sinus infections are awful. I hope it goes away really soon, now.

I appear to have accidentally infected the male as well. Poor fellow spent his evening in the clinic *sheepish*
