Still using the Leech Jar icon, but doing better

Yesterday I put on a smidge of makeup (concealer, eyebrows, eyeliner, mascara), proper clothing, and Left The House! To go to the doctor's office for a B12 + Other Stuff shot, to help me get over this Death Blarg Plague thing.

And I *am* getting over it. Slowly, but it's happening. I'm not constantly coughing and sniffling anymore, and my throat doesn't feel like I'm constantly swallowing shards of glass. The main thing I'm still dealing with is the exhaustion. Like, sleeping 11 hours a night, then maybe having a nap later -sort of exhaustion. Ugh. But today I have felt well enough to do a couple of loads of laundry, and am making a tiny bit of progress on writing. My big goal is to be well enough to go to Noc-Noc on Friday night for sistawendy's transition party. I'm not going to dance, because that way lies exhaustion and a potential relapse, but by God, I AM GETTING DRESSED UP AND GOING OUT ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

My other goals are to put up and decorate the tree, and make gingerbread bats. I don't know if those are going to happen, because I am under orders from the doctor, the Stroppy One, and cupcakegothmom (hi Mom!) to not overdo things. I really WANT to do those things, because it's December 9th, for goodness sake, and I'd like to start feeling some holiday spirit ANY TIME NOW. But I don't want holiday spirit at the expense of, oh, being healthy and able to do things.

Are you in California? Do you need a kitty?

Help donnaricci find a good home for this adorable abandoned cat!

The full story is here in Donna's LJ. The very short version is: the previous owner of this cat moved and left her with a relative. A relative who decided they didn't want to bother with a cat, and abandoned her by the Equestrian
Center by Clockwork Couture.

I have a very low opinion of people who abandon pets; that is putting it mildly. (Someday I will tell you people stories of the various pets I had to rescue when I was in my 20s and working in retail hell.) I would love to see this charming cat find a good home. So! If you're in California and would like to help out, please scoot over to donnaricci's journal and read the details. Thank you!
