No parties?
Dec. 31st, 2005 04:46 pmI guess no parties :-( The Rat's usual wild excitement on New Year's Eve. This morning had to take Vincent, one of the boys, to the vet asap. For those who've seen Vin, you'll know he's a somewhat large rat, fond of his food and of being cuddled and that's about it. He's also been rather breathless the last month, even without activity and yesterday went off his food.
So he's now on Frusemide, which I looked up online since it's not one I'm used to giving the rats and looks like if Vin cuts back on the alcohol and smoking and lives a clean life, he should improve. I've also got to give it by injection. This should be okay,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaosmanor - who has helped me with this before - Vin is the one who doesn't scream and carry on even before the needle is anywhere near him, that's Percy :-) So even though his timing isn't terrific, at least it wasn't NY day, when the vet's going to be shut! And even though I won't be going out, it'll be fine by me so long as Vin is all right.
I note people are posting resolutions. I'll think about this a bit more later, maybe, but right now I just want to leave the job and take a chance that I won't meet up with someone as nasty as the individual who has made my work environment so unpleasant over the last year or so. I hadn't met anyone that bad before she showed up so chances are fairly good, I think.
I would like to improve my social life a bit. Since the demise of the gaming group mid-year, I haven't even been getting out most weekends. I really miss gaming. This was GURPS or Generic Universal Role Playing System and one week you'd be in a spaceship, the next being menaced by evil villains in a movie-style 1950s - Atomic Horror - or attempting to save the world (again) as a super hero. Along the way you'd be battling your many character flaws and problems and those of your companions in a vain attempt to stay with the plot. It made real life seem very tame in comparison. All right, so real life over the past year *has* been fairly tame! I would like that to get better.
