Stuff

When I was looking forward to a night with nothing to do (after working late too), I forgot I was one of the 15,000 randomly chosen from the country's population to do the 5-yearly health survey. Bah. I did my duty: 90 minutes of personal questions about my health and habits which I found rather uncomfortable while Tessa, who sat on my lap and purred, didn't.

The eye surgeon BTW said she's doing very well when I rang him today and described the appearance of the graft to him. Bright red means lots of blood supply, so that's a Good Thing and a relief.

I have no idea what I'm going to draw today for MaArMaMo in the little time I have left free. Maybe I'll prove how bad I am with my left hand. I have enough plushies to draw one a day till the end of the month [hangs head] but I plan to do only two more, so I'll happily take suggestions for future topics and styles though I won't necessarily promise to do them. :-)

Oh, glad to hear Tessa's doing all right, at least!

She's getting lively again too, which is nice to see.

I don't think I would be at all happy doing a health survey, I find the Census intrusive enough.

Glad to hear that bright red with a graft means good blood supply, it usually means infalmation and it did worry me a bit when you wrote about it. I had a purry furry on my lap for a hour and a half last night too but Pipin was just being happy to have me home. He'd got used to me being there all day and a half day back in work panicked him. I hate to think what he will be like tonight as I'm in work all day today.

He said that white bits would mean they were still infected. I haven't seen any discharge from her eye for about three days which was encouraging.

We call ours "purry furries" too. Or vice versa.

It's good to hear that Tessa continues to make progress.

MaArMaMo suggestion: Blake's 7 (or whatever you like) in the style of a Mayan mural?

Ummmmm. :-P I'll have to think about that one.

I was thinking about Tessa last night, and thinking I must ask you how she was doing.

Kevin-the-fun-vampire keeps receiving health questionnaires from the NHS. He dutifully fills them out only to receive another one about 3 months later. Considering he's never been on any waiting lists, been in hospital or had any major illnesses I'm not quite sure why his name keeps coming up. Shame he's not so lucky with the lottery ;0)

Yeah, I wish I'd been picked for something more fun or profitable. I did get three free pens though. :-P

Glad to hear Tessa is doing so well.

She's becoming lively and playful again. :-)

What bad luck to have to do something like that health survey on your night off. Though if Tessa was with you, I guess you were at home, which at least means yuo didn't have travel anywhere i the cold and dark.

Glad Tessa is getting better. Give her an ear rub from me.

I was very glad I didn't have to go out in that storm. Going home from work was bad enough. And now the office at work (where I am now) has a leak. Oh, joy. I hate, hate, hate winter. Have I mentioned that recently?

I will! Tessa is lapping up all the attention and cuddles from us and from around the world. :-D

Yay for Tessa! She's a lovely lady.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-08-17 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
She is! She's an absolute sweetie. [looks forward to going home in two hours to cuddle her]

Give her a cuddle from me, too. :^)

I will! I tell them all that they have an international fan base. :-)

They are stars!
