well, i'm still alive. lately i've been feeling like crap most of the time. i cannot get used to all this extra weight. i feel like a zeppelin and my feet are always tired. when i went in last week for my checkup, i'd gained 6 pounds. 6 pounds! in 2 1/2 weeks! argh. that's 21 pounds total now. i failed the one hour glucose test (again). oh yay. i'm on a diet starting today, and then i go back in on monday to do the 3 hour one. also, i'm anemic, so i have to start taking daily massive doses of iron. argh again! that's probably part of the reason i've been feeling so worn out. that, the extra weight, and not being able to sleep well because it's nearly impossible to get comfortable in the bed (or anywhere, to be honest).
... morei finally moved back to my house at the beginning of last week. my cats seem to have adjusted to the move quite well. rob's kitty moved in with us last weekend. since rob plans to be over here more & more, we decided that kitty should just go ahead and move now rather than going back & forth all the time. i think he's happy to have some company during the day. he's still so young & hyper. my cats don't know what to do with him, but we've all been living together rather peacefully. bella occasionally hisses at him, but it seems that if i just talk to her and tell her it's ok, she chills out.
the poohead is not feeling well, though. he's doing his whole not eating thing again. i can't even get him to eat any treats, which with poohead is definitely a sign that something is wrong. we're going back to the vet on saturday morning to see if he's holding steady or if he's lost any more weight. we'll probably get some blood drawn to see if it's just the poohead being stubborn or having tooth problems, or if it's something more complicated. my cats will be 14 at the end of the year. i know they're up there now, and that they're likely to have health problems more often & problems that are really problems now, but i don't want to dwell on it. we just need to get poohead eating again. it's always possible that it's just his poohead way of reacting to having a new cat in the house, too. he's quite the jealous boy. if you like cats, please send some feline love this way.
i haven't had the cable/cable modem hooked up yet. i haven't even called yet, actually. i'm still fighting with them over our bill from last summer when we got flooded. even though we told them to cut it off, they kept it on (apparently - i wouldn't really know anyway since i wasn't living there and attempting to use the lines) and kept sending bills until they decided we were cut off. then they sent some ridiculous $1000 or something bill saying that we stole their equipment. i had spoken with more than one person on the phone and been assured that we could basically have the service halted - cut off until we were ready to move back in, and that way we wouldn't have to go through the whole opening a new account and paying the installation fees again. i finally took their stupid equipment back, and just said ok fine we'll just re-install when we're ready. since that time, though, they've been sending bills saying we still owe them some way too high amount for all those months they left the service on. so now i have to go argue with them again.
we're going to hockey tonight! yay hockey! i so need hockey. there's a preseason game tonight and one tomorrow against some new AHL team. the games are just out at their training facility, so it will feel like informal hockey - but hey, it's still hockey. my mom, rob & i are going and most likely rob's friend dave and someone else that i can't remember their name because lately i can't remember much of anything.
