They've been good days

Kitty News:  Took Felix the cat back to the vet yesterday and found out that she's doing far better than they expected.  It's probably not lukemia because she's doing so well.  He doesn't know what's wrong with her, but we're keeping her on the same food and reducing her medication and hopefully she'll be just fine.  Regardless, it was the nicest vet visit I've had this year.

Work stuff:  Despite all indications to the contrary, it's going well enough not to give me headaches.  Heck, so well that I've been getting fed at work (garlic nan today!  yum!) and the boss lady is, oddly but sweetly, going to buy me face cleanser stuff because she feels like it.  Oh, and I still don't have to wear my shoes.  That's a bonus.  (and so far I've exceeded every expectation on the work-front side and continue to feel like the dynamite girl - probably a little self-indulgent, but it's summer, so I'm pretending that I deserve it)

On the home front:  A new shipment of tools came from Neil's grandfather today.  Even though he wasn't supposed to, he went out and bought a brand new socket set and metric wrenches.  And odd size pliers because you never know when you might need them.  We're lazy about cleaning, but we're not that dirty.

And, for those of you who want to try something new, here's a recipe for a summer salad I made the other night.  It sounds super heavy, but the dill lightens it, and if you have it with a side salad it's frigging fabulous.

Tonight I'm going to a market-study session that's going to actually pay me $125 for my services for a couple of hours, and then off to have mojitos with tx_cronopio and celebrate Joss' birthday with a vewing of Serenity!  Hee.  Who needs Friday with a Thursday like this?
