sunday morning and i have left the tt in bed to dream his kitten dreams and twitch his paws whilst running. it seems like there is so much that changes every day, but when asked or when i try to write anything down i cannot think of anything. i will try.

been a bit more anxious lately - work is becoming more challenging but there has been no raise or position movement to back it up. most likely have to wait a year and prove myself. bleh. this on top of tt's job sucking the empty withered teat of the man - let us just say that there has not been a lot of fun during 1/3 of our days lately, which has been translating into not a lot of fun in the rest of the time either.

positively, we brought home more fish yesterday, including a kuhli loach we will never see again. so cute, but so elusive! *shrug* they were another rescue, so am just happy they will be safe/loved/healthy now while their former owners move move away. we have rescued many plants in a similar manner - i am now officially a CL/FC junkie. fish, plants, kitties and a strong relationship was all that was holding us together these past few months. hopefully, with the end of a huge project at tt's work, things will be a bit more like home at home.

i tell you, there are a LOT of factors in a relationship that contribute to the will they survive the first year.two test. man oh man. and so few of them have been easily solved.

in august dr.ho will make a 2-3 in cut directly down the front of my right knee and remove my extra patella piece. i will only be able to have %90 movement ever in that knee, which is better than now, but just sucks. no aikido for about a year and no vigorous exercise, etc. either. luckily i can swim at the gym, and the elliptical machines do not seem to hurt the joints much either. it is just a sad subject for me in any case.

first trip coming up is to MI, then weekends of June 23rd we'll be in Pgh. yay!
