Midnight thoughts

While trying and failing asleep last night, I realized why I dislike the puzzles in FFX: I'm playing the game for the story. I'm loving seeing the characters come together as a group, and (in the case of Tidus) mature somewhat. The puzzles take a lot of time and effort, and add zero to the story.

My Amazon box arrived yesterday, in it the guidebook and a remote control to make the PS2 into a better DVD player (or something like that). I made the mistake of taking the guidebook in to read before bed. Not only did I stay awake late reading it, but by the time I finally got up to the section I was at (I didn't want to read ahead), I wasn't sleepy at all. Tired yes, sleepy no. I turned off the light anyway and tossed and turned while listening to my cat prowl the dark apartment. I always figured she slept most of the night, but she's really rather active.

TMIs of Life

My poor cat is sick again. For those not in the know, she had cancer, and while they operated on her and are pretty sure they got it all out, she's been getting sick on and off since then. Explosive diarrhea.

I went home for a stop in at lunchtime today, and something smelled ... funky. I went to check her litterbox. I know know how far explosive diarrhea can shoot out of a cat's butt. (The cat box has a "hood" over it, sort of a three-walled thing with an open wall to get in and out from. She must have stood in the cat box and had her butt facing the open wall.) Nothing like cleaning diarrhea off the floor, the side of the counter, and the wall. The rug is going to have to be tossed out, because I didn't feel like cleaning it.

At least she has new pills to start today, so hopefully they'll help.
