other bits and bobs

• Busy week (Mediaeval Baebes, D.'s birthday, vet plus regular duties/hobbies) = far behind on laundry.
  
  
• Re: vet: Cats mostly good. One has ear infection, one has UTI/kidney infection. Both have medication and are likely to heal nicely but I still feel like a bad cat "mom" for not noticing enough, not thinking anything was amiss while simultaneously regretting that I have to take them to the vet at all - they hate and are scared of it and I can't explain to them why it's necessary :(
  
  
• Loving, LOVING the cooler weather, and don't think I EVER expected to say that!
  
  
• Fashion for Nerds is seriously inspiring me to further eccentricize my work clothes, but I'm tempering it with the knowledge that 1) she's in SF, a seriously more stylin' town than I'm in 2) she has lots more closet space, and 3) my pursuit of comfort (and occasional need to crawl around under my desk) really gets in the way of my desire to wear skirts.
  
  
• Having said that, link dump ahoy: Tulle US (Anthroplogie-type style at closer-to-Target prices), Red Dress Shoppe and Trashy Diva (delish retro 40s/50s dresses; the latter HT rm), Cydwoq (painfully expensive handmade shoes, but fun to look at nonetheless), Five and Diamond (steampunk showcase).
  
  
• Ow update: Shin splints have (d?)evolved into a near-constant tightness. Improvement on the strip is slow but steady. Elbows/wrists MUCH happier with trackball on work machine.
