tuesday, andrew and i spent the day at the coffee shop working on stuff for work/school. then, andrew went to another open house thing for a fire station in cary, and i went to the gym with paige, and megan joined us for a while. i found a new machine that is supposed to be like a chest press, and we got a good laugh out of watching me try to pump some serious poundage on there... and not being able to and cursing loudly by accident. when i got home, i tried making mom's chicken cacciatore. it's basically like spaghetti with sauce that has chicken instead of beef. it was pretty good, but i think the chicken was a little bland. mom does a really good job of seasoning things, but i'm not sure i have that season-intuition or whatever it is. anyway, it was certainly edible, just not as good as what mom made me growing up.
yesterday was the really insane day though. i got up early to go to beginner's yoga with paige, planning to take it easy there and go to my hard yoga class later that night. there were fewer beginners than the previous class, and we did a few moderate poses, but it was nice to go to a slow-paced class focusing on balance and alignment. it was also good cause i was SO sore from tuesday night, i really needed that time to just be able to walk like a normal human being again. then, i was on my way to go meet lora for an excellent lunch at sushi blues when my mom called to tell me that my kitty, who i've had since 7th grade, was sick. she had symptoms that sounded like pancreatitis, which can be dangerous in cats. i went and picked her up from her regular vet in chapel hill and brought her to oberlin. she's been there since then, and while i know she's doing ok, they're still trying to figure out what's wrong with her. it could be triaditis, or it could be a problem with her liver, maybe hepatic lipidosis caused by the pancreatitis... or both, or neither. either way, i feel confident that she's getting great care.
unfortunately, i missed the awesome sushi lunch, and continued to crave it all night. i went to hard core yoga, and it was awesome even if i thought i was going to die the whole time. then i went to kim's to help her with all her novartis product stuff. she's the novartis rep for the vet school right now, so she had boxes and boxes of stuff to sort, label, and repack. we worked diligently, and i got home around 2am.
today, i visited lil' kitty and hung out with my mom. we visited andrew at work, and then parted ways. i plan to spend the rest of the night on the couch... because i can!

poor kitty and orchid. :( I hate nazi yoga teachers.
wow, wish I could remember whatever those seasonings could be in the cacciatore (btw, sorry, but I told you the wrong spelling...it has an "e" at the end). That's cool you remember it tasting good, I don't even remember the last time I cooked it! It was fun spending time with you. It was neat seeing where Andrew works and I'm so impressed that you worked/work at Oberlin. You go, girl. Thanks for helping with Li'l Kitty too : )
