Just a quick rambling update

So, what's been going on since last time? Not too much really.

Getting a bit more social, which is a good thing. Been having quite a bit of fun, meeting new people and learning some new stuff about "old people". The nerdyness is going downhill a bit, even though it's still there to a certain degree. I think it always will be. I am who I am.

Had to take Lilo to the vet to have her eye fixed. That was a bad thing. Not the part of getting her eye fixed, that was of course good. The bad thing about it is that it seems to have screwed me over royally on any Christmas plans. First of all, after having paid the vet my travel funds are more or less gone. Second, if I find a way to replenish them, this is a blip on the card that means I don't know if she'll be cleared to travel. That would mean another huge chunk of cash is needed to have her transported as soon as possible when I'd get home after Christmas vacation.

I know she's getting old, and with each passing month she's acting more and more like an elder cat. I also know that Linda misses her a lot, so I really want to get her shipped to where she belongs as soon as possible. I realise that these are probably considered minor issues in the big picture of things, but it's enough to weigh on my mind.

The L-1 application process is also taking it's sweet time. It sped up considerably after I stopped accepting some of the offers for help I got and just called around a bit myself instead. But now that everything that needs to be done locally is done, it's time to wait for government institutions. And that takes time. A long time from the looks of things. But they say paitience is a virtue, so I guess I should just try to learn how it works.

My brain is spinning all over the place with stuff going on, and it's time for a vacation relatively soon. I really hope I can get things sorted so that vacation can be spent looking at the Black Hills sunrise/sunset with no other sounds around than the nature and company.

I'll finish off this whining post on a nice note. A little piece of music from Mountain Man, my favorite singers these days when it comes to relaxing music. You can just close your eyes, listen and drift off. A really nice feeling.

That was it. Peace out.
