Ginza's Better

Woohoo, caught it really early. Just a little blood, but no crystals, bacteria, etc. The couple days of Metacam & phenoxybenzamine helped his discomfort tremendously. But....the boy's caught on that he's being fed less tasty food than his siblings, so he won't eat it so much. Damned.

Ginza - FLUTD again

It seems like that time of year again. I failed in monitoring him properly thru the fall, when I knew damned well that he's susceptible around this time. I'm the worse Mommy in the world. I'm even more stressed out considering upcoming events.

Historic Stock Market Moment

Well, here ends the most fucked up week in market history. Well, barring the 80% loss of The Depression. Let's hope it doesn't get down much further. Although I'm wondering if the DJI'll get down to 7500.

Was holding up ok till yesterday, then I joined the Armageddon panic mode of the masses for a few hours until I slapped myself out of it. And chatting with hubby to get him apprised of the situation and our position. Cheerier mood now, looking for buys.

HH Tennis Today

Great session today! Got a really good workout, practicing shots. Instructor is pretty good. Like his instructions - clear, consistent, and constant. Too bad he's so much more expensive than the other guys. But think it's very worth it.

Aggggghhhhhh - DVD Conversion Sucks

OMFG, I hate this shit!! I've spent the last week since I've gotten the Zune trying to get a simple movie converted into something the stupid thing will recognize. Frigging hours and hours of conversions that result in errors. Finally got something going, while probably loading up all kinds of spyware shit on the computer in the meantime. FUCK!!!

More Tennis

Decided to try the local parks instruction on public courts, $36 a session, worth a try. The grandfatherly guy who came out can't really hit any more, and wasn't very good giving me any instructions at all. But he was sweet and reminded me of my grandpa, whom I adored. May keep him sporadically for a game here or there, but he's not good for improving my tennis.

The courts were mended in several places, cracked still, and we unfortunately had the lesson right when the school kids came out, and they really annoyed me. Otherwise, the location was ok.

Got New Zune!

Woohoo! Kinda bigger than I wanted, and the software sucks. It's such a hog, and really slows down my computer to the point I can't do anything else, and it's sooooo slow to respond. I'm also really pissed off that it won't recognize the movies I converted to AVI.

But it's got a really big beautiful screen, easy enough to use once I figure out how I want to lay things out. Lots of space, no problems at least with loading up the audio, pics, and podcasts so far.

But it's only day 1.

Tennis!

Decided to try out the tennis club near my place, didn't cost too much. Really wanted to sign up, but turns out the gym part of the price burnt down, and it's going to take up to a year to get fixed. Not good. It's also part of the apartments, and they all get to use it for free. Meh. Can't use the courts without membership, so back to square one without a place to play.

But...the instructor was really nice, and I liked his style, so I signed up for private sessions once a week. We'll see how it goes. What's nicest is how close it is, and plenty of parking.

What's nicest is just that I'm trying to get back into things. I'd forgotten how much fun it was, and how much I love it! Yay.
