State of the Neko address: week 96, part 2

song+ Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again- Glee (still a supremely awesome duet)
book+ the one i'm kinda-sorta writing?
quest+ umm baking adventures?
upper+ yay Christmas!
downer+ Kyu's having health issues
attire+ khakis and a pink tank
drink+ milk

so in an effort to eat better Kyu and i bought fruit last weekend. i forgot that i don't really like eating fruit on its own though, and Kyu is incapable of eating an entire cluster of bananas before they go soft and brown. so i figured i'd look up recipes to bake with them and the berries so they're not wasted. not thinking it through i googled "fruity muffin awesome" and was surprised to actually end up with muffin recipes. xD so yeah, baking will happen soon around here i guess.. blackberry muffins and banana bread.

in other news, Kyu's kidney stones flared up again. Wednesday involved a hospital trip, and Thursday was laying in bed feeling like death until Wolfie could take me to pick up Kyu's prescriptions. he's not recovered yet, but with the hydrocodone he's not feeling so upset about it. maybe this time we'll actually follow the dietary guidelines he's been told about for more than like a month and we can minimize the odds of a flareup happening again.

today i finally finished my Christmas preparation though. i got the tree set up and the ornaments put on it. the gifts are wrapped neatly and labeled, placed under the tree for another two days. xD i also finished the painting for Moose, we're exchanging art this year. no pictures yet, but the one i did for her is titled "Moose-splosion" and i'm pretty pleased with it. xD i also have the painting i'm giving to Poppa put aside so i remember to bring it to him Sunday.

i have been dealing with a minor allergic reaction though. yesterday Moose picked me up so we could do my hair and i ate a bowl of cereal at her place. a few bites in i realized it had almond slivers in it. while i'm sure i picked out most of them, a few made it through, and there was powdery residue in the milk so i'm dealing with an itchy semi-swollen throat today, and mild nausea. it could be far worse though, and it has been, so i'm taking comfort in my capacity to speak and eat.

but yeah, in summary this week's first half was uneventful, and the second half has been plenty exciting. kinda sick but not really, and getting better already. hair re-greened and a new self-portrait done. xD whoo!
