I'll miss you.http://sonnlich.livejournal.com/1278162.html (Untitled)- July 11, 2008 Spike is now eighteen hours and two shots overdue on insulin, and still missing. Hope he'll come back is dwindling rapidly - I am clinging to it, but I've had the following conversations with my parents:Dad (this afternoon): Our attrition rate for cats has been pretty terrible lately.Me: Well, we are at 50%.Dad: I think you may be underestimating.Me: What do you think the chances of him turning up again areMum: Vanishingly small. If he were healthy, well... cats go exploring for a...http://sonnlich.livejournal.com/1277891.html So...- July 11, 2008 Spike is still missing. Now ten hours overdue for insulin.He was last seen going out the back as I went to bed last night. In theory, there's no way he can get out of the back garden, and it would be unlike him to try. He's old, and the fences are pretty high - higher on the far side, so it would be harder for him to get back if he did get out, but - seriously, he's not that adventurous in his old age. He wasn't that adventurous when he was young. He's a home...http://sonnlich.livejournal.com/1277491.html (Untitled)- July 11, 2008 So, Spike is missing.

I played music listening in the headphones to try them out - it sounded way too treble-laden, which irked me. (Lots of bass: love. Lots of treble: annoyance. It's a clear and blatant personal prejudice, I recognise this.)I wondered if it was the...http://sonnlich.livejournal.com/1276786.html (Untitled)- July 8, 2008 Having... issues. That don't quite go away.Feel slightly fail-ridden for having bought groceries this evening, to solve my Lack Of Food In House problems, then left them at Dean's house. Faaaiiil.Was pretty win today otherwise. Got stuff done I needed to get done.Tomorrow: might go down to church in the morning for the Wednesday service, then have to deal with Centrelink crap.
