Why is it always my stomach...

First off, a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to matociquala! I wouldn't have missed it if I had been able to stand up...

To the rest of you, sorry I vanished off the face of the earth. Sometime around dinner time on Tuesday I started puking. Stayed up all night doing that, and most of yesterday until we got sick of it and my being dehydrated at around 3. They happily informed me that the medicine I always end up with in my IV (since this is time #3 for ending up in the ER for this kind of thing) is available over the counter in a variety of forms. I promise to go buy some, now that I know. Hopefully now the next time this starts up again I can just medicate myself and be done with it. Either way I find it concernaling that every time I get like this, I cannot be stopped without medication. Good thing I'm not bulimic.

This is really screwing with us because of this Con we have this weekend. uniquecrash5 just left to go finally get his license because it's been expired- he has to because we HAVE to rent a car. More about that in a minute. So if I am feeling up to it, I have a game tonight- if Crash makes it back in time, he's in it too... We won't have the kiddo all weekend (yay!) but since I am feeling fantabulous, I don't know how much that will all matter... That, and the fact that I was supposed to create all my other characters yesterday and couldn't because, well, you know...

And oh yes, the car... We finally found out late yesterday that the insurance guy who had originally quoted us $400 a month, had failed to look up the fact that those companies do NOT take a foreign license into consideration so my driving record is now GONE. I am like a new driver... So forget $400 monthly, change that to $1000 RIGHT NOW, and then another major payment of $5000 for the rest of the year. Yahright... Not gonna do it. Unh uh.. Since we were only going to do it temporarily just to be able to keep the car, and since we only ever need the thing once a month or so, we'll just rent cars when it comes up. So if Bubble's is still interested, she should contact me... Otherwise it's getting a really good bath and a FOR SALE sign, since I don't see the situation improving in a timely enough fashion that it merits covering the thing up and keeping it. It will be years and years before we can afford to pretend to start over again, so keeping the car seems stupid when I could use the money to pay off debt, and possibly get a new bed. I really want a new bed, with a mattress that doesn't wiggle like jello every time someone breathes. If I wanted wiggling I would have gotten a water bed, dammit. I think I will either go ultra cheap (read: fancy futon) or just get a new mattress and a cheap bed frame. We need a head board at the least these days- I can't stand all the crap falling behind the bed.

Anyway, now I'm just rambling, and I really should be packing K's crap and calling my mom.

Shoot me now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!

Crash can't get his license today.
My mom can't find her passport.
We can't rent a car because the only credit card we have with room on it is in my maiden name.

This just gets better and better and better....

My dumbass mother

My mom failed to tell me she DID know where her expired passport was, which is just fine for getting in and out of Canada. They only need it current when you leave the continent. I've been using my expired passport so she can too.

AND on Monday my credit card that DOES have my married name on it should work again so we can rent a car to pick him up. I am fearful of that anyway because of the whole getting back into Canada issue, but I guess we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

As for how I am feeling- I am really glad I am not driving right now- and will have to see if by 4 or 5 I even want to consider going out walking around if Crash doesn't make it back- because I would have to walk to the subway and take it to the Con, and then play for a bunch of hours. By that time Crash should be back and can pick me up.

And of course I am glad this is still happening. Having K around for the weekend would have sucked out loud, and then some.

A very visual meme

2. Go to Google Image Search and search for that word.

Back to one cat!

Hurray! Mr. Kitty has a new home!

Somebody who saw his picture on toronto thought he looked like this cat they used to live with, so they replied and asked if they could meet him, and possibly adopt him regardless. They showed up tonight and I let them have him! He has a home! They seem very nice, and I let them know he needs a vet visit and they were cool with that- and keeping him inside, which was my main requirement since he's declawed.

Houston, we are morons...

So suddenly a realization hit me this evening. Gaming! Gaming is fun, gaming all day is fun, gaming all day long in a hotel in a big city is fun, gaming anywhere that isn't home all day long is fun!

Isn't home....

Isn't home... Why is that phrase bothering me.... *looks around* *SUDDENLY NOTICES ELDERLY DOG AT HER FEET*

Oh shit...


So, anybody out there wanna Betty-sit tomorrow? Any Amber Con people want to comment on whether they think the GM's will bite me if I bring her with? I don't want people to think I am being disruptive or trying to gain attention by bringing a pet- really it's more of a concern of leaving her alone that long. She WILL need to pee, and there's really nobody in the immediate vicinity except maybe snowpea1980, and I don't know how her dogs would feel about Betty. If it weren't so late I would call M&K, but they've been asleep for hours, plus they live north of Ossington- we'd have to leave the car at their house or something in order to pull a solid retrieval. Oh boy have I fucked up now...

I guess there are those puppy pads in the closet...

*ponders*

*sighs*

Sheesh I hate it when I forget about little HUGE things like that...
