Yesterday I decided I'd be healthy and go for a run/walk with Oni. Okay, so it's less a "be healthy" and more a "In a month I have two back-to-back workshops with Rachel Brice and Mardi Love. If I intend to survive and/or not have the workshops close with me laying on the floor crying and them toeing me every so often and telling me to STFU and deal, I need to severely up my cardio."
So on my good-intentioned adventure I turned my ankle (again) and ended up hobbling two miles home, and Oni got a tick that ended up partially embedded in his ear, requiring a $50 vet visit. FML. :P
He talked to the vet too much and she muzzled him. I can't really say I blame her--he does have angry eyebrows, a jaw that hinges at the back of his head, and a tendency to sound ferocious. After it came off, he seemed mortified (and thus was silent) for almost ten minutes.
Almost ten. Then it was back to normal . . . well, as normal as he can get.
A hop on the vet's scale showed that Oni now weighs in at sixty-eight pounds--almost twenty-five pounds up from when we got him at the shelter back in '04. This information prompted me to be insensitive--"Damn it, you giant fat hairball, stop stepping on me!"--and prompted zen_of_nihilism to tell terrible jokes: "He's not fat, he's husky! Ba-da-dum-ching!"
One week until Nekocon. I have way, way too much stuff to make--though the steampunky rings have come out fairly interesting thus far. :P So we all know what time it is . . . Bulleted list time!
To do:
Clean not-made-by-me merch from merch wheelie
Check bank balance, mail etsy orders, make byz and half Persian bracelets for local store
At least fifty hair forks: 5 purple/silver, 5 purple/orange, 5 blue/silver, 5 blue/orange, 3 bronze/geary, 4 silver/gold, 4 green/orange, 3 green/silver, 4 fall, 3 calico/geary, 3 gunmetal, 3 gold/geary, and whatever else I turn out.
Hair sticks. Lots. Like 100+ lots. This might require a
trip to Lowe's for a new dremel drill bit.
Finish flower & steampunky rings
Figure out how many supplies I really need to take--I'm tired of lugging an Oni-sized wheelie around.
