I've been up for thirty minutes and already I'm bleeding. Y'know, I really think it's cruel and unusual punishment to have a cat declawed, but sometimes I think it might be an exception in Niblet's case. It'd be removing her instruments of evil. I'm gonna make an appointment to finally get her spayed over spring break. Hopefully that'll settle her down. Settling her down to the point that I'd stand a chance of pinning her down and clipping those little razor blades of terror would be a good, but I won't hold my breath on that count.

Didn't go to class this morning because -- say it with me -- mom needed the van. But I don't so much mind, as I really needed the excuse to sleep in. She's picking up some friends at the airport who are going to be staying with us for a while. They used to be our neighbors but now they're missionaries in the Phillipines and they're back home for a month or so. As long as they don't drink up all my coffee or eat all my bananas or invade my personal space we should all get along fine. I've a feeling the transportation problem is about to get far more complicated, though. Let's all cross our fingers in the hopes that my brother gets his hippie van running this weekend.

Li'l Sis's first baby shower at her mother-in-law's got postponed to this Sunday on account of all that snow, so that's one thing I'll be doing this weekend. I'd really kinda like to stay home tomorrow to get stuff done, but my mom is hosting another baby shower downstairs for this girl from her church whom I went to high school with who was kind of a snot, and I don't really want to be around for that. I need to see if Tess wants to go catch a matinee of something. I don't even know what movies are playing right now. But surely we can find something we can both agree on. Then again, I really, really want to just stay home tomorrow. I need to clean, and I need to write. Sigh. I wish I could not go to Sis's shower without people giving me guilt. Like it's not enough that I'm hosting a shower for her in a couple of weeks.

I have to go get around and go intern for a few hours, and new Farscape is on tonight, and I should work out at some point because yesterday's yoga didn't really count. Other than that, though, my evening is pretty free. Hopefully I'll be able to get some writing done tonight. Friday night is usually a pretty slow AIM night, so that should help. I've got vague ideas for a couple more garden fic installments, but I kinda want to wait and see if I can still make them tie in to canon. Though, I suppose since Buffy's gettin' busy with Spike once again in my little garden-verse I've officially gone AU and I might as well say screw canon and do my thang. We'll see. DL needs to be my priority right now anyway. DL really needs to be everybody's priority right now if we're going to finish before the show does (*looks sternly at the DL crew*).

Drat. I guess I also have to set aside some time to answer e-mail tonight. Meant to do that this morning but this entry took longer than I expected and now I have to go get ready to leave. So if you're waiting to hear from me, it'll have to be later. Sorry!
