My cable hookup is delicious!
Yay! Back online via high speed cable. Thank you Time warner dude for not charging us for dog damage. It seems the squirrels DID have a go at the cable as well. I know Kiba is a bit of an acrobat, but he certainly didn't chew the cable waaaay up on the pole where it connects to the main line. Little gray bastards. *mutter mutter*
Also, a big *hug* to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rumdiculous...who is such a good friend (she's had computer problems and I miss her terribly!!), she sent me a beautiful watercolor painting (I have to scan it!!) and a jar of wonderful jam that I suspect she made herself...how sweet! I had some on a bagel this morning and it was SO good.
Really, everyone on my f-list has been so generous to remember me on my birthday. I'm at the age where I'm starting to resent the annual intrusion of reality into my youthful fantasy (seriously...I look in the mirror sometimes and think "Holy crap what is happening to my freaking EYES??" Don't even get me started on my boobs. They're going all "National Geographic" on me and it's heartbreaking.), but this year was so joyful and full of surprises. You are all wonderful. :-)
And! I've been busy making stuff just for the sake of being busy making stuff. Boredom is sometimes a great motivation. I screwed up on a wolf that was supposed to be gray (I spilled blue dye on it...heh) so I just said "Hell, let's make a blue wolf!" And so it was done.
I might put it on E-bay, just to see what people think. I kind of like it! I want to do a red one now.
It's freakishly warm and nice outside today. October was such a monumentally CRAPPY month, weather-wise, that I hardly went out on my bike at all. I think I'll go out today, even though the trees are bare and sad. We were robbed of our normally beautiful Autumn, I tell you. Robbed!

I was so happy when I saw your packages in the mail, though. :-) That was really sweet of you, & I love the painting ('cause, y'know, favorite IY moment so far! Well, tied maybe with the Sess + Rin stuff from a couple months ago, but you get the point). I want to put a scan of it up in here, but I want to give you dibbs (because it's your painting and you get first bragging rights!) so I'll wait until you're back online. I'll e-mail a scan of it to you, ok? And I'll make a print too...you should really have your own copy.
*smooch* What kind of jam is that, by the way? It's good!

My computer should be back by Monday given Dell doesn't try to pick on me anymore. It's been redamndiculous.
