missizzy

Have taken leave from work for a week, and Thursday through Sunday will be at a Jane Austen conference in North Carolina, but have also taken some time to just laze around watching Wimbledon. And help take the cats to the vet, and buy them a little motorized water fountain to try to encourage Clarissa to drink by keeping the water fresher, because she wasn't drinking enough. And explore a few shops in Crystal City before enjoying dinner this evening with the man who is soon to leave me for graduate school. The place looks pretty neat though the shops are very much aimed at the people working above; lots of eateries and places full of expensive things rich men buy for themselves or their wives. And go to the dentist tomorrow for the filling of a tiny cavity, before preparing for Thursday's journey. And dying of anxiety during the final NHL game of the year last night, unable to watch if only for superstitious reasons, coming to the conclusion that I'm not sure I ever really want the Caps to make the final after all, because if this was what my backup team doing so did to me, I'm not sure I'd survive that(though also I *really* didn't want the Bruins to win, of course). And noting all together my physical discomfort when excited/anxious is getting worse, and I might need to see my shrink again. And bristle over the Supreme Court; I've reached the point where I'm so mad at them I don't even give a damn if they strike down DOMA-which I don't trust them to do anyway. Even if they do, they'll probably deliberately wreck it with some other ruling next year. I think that's all, at least for the weekdays themselves(the weekend also involved sampling pho, which is edible but I find the smell unbearable, and an unsuccessful attempt to get costumes). Oh, and my writing, but that's a given. I do feel more relaxed, though maybe a few more days of this would've been of more help.
