Just got back from lunch out with my cousins because Tor is leaving today, probably about now actually, to go over to the UK and live there for a couple of years nursing. She's going to LA for a few days first and doing Disneyland, Universal Studios etc then going on to London and then we'll see her in July anyway when she goes over for our cousins wedding in Santorini.
Not much happening here, getting colder though. Not impressed about that.
Am very depressed at the moment as I found out on Wednesday that my baby (ok, so he's 14 yrs old but that is not the point)has cancer of the spleen and it's spread to his lymph nodes so we have a choice of a) doing nothing in which case he'll get worse and die in about 5-6 weeks b) giving him moderate chemo which will make him sick and might give him 6 mths c)giving him really aggressive chemo that'll make him really sick, make him lose all his fur and might give him 1-2 yrs - 50% chance either 1 yr or 2 yrs or d) having him put down before we go overseas. Oh goody, what great choices.
Mum's theory is it's you cat you have to decide. Great, thanks mum so either I kill my cat quickly or slowly. Joy. Got bugger all sympathy from Bec although she claims to be sympathetic. Hmmm, not sure about that one, she's never really been a cat person and wouldn't really care one way or the other.
Kaz, haven't heard back from Amazon about the books, will email them again later but since it's freezing in the study at the moment am going to go read in bed with my nice warm electric blanket on.
