My Domain Children of the Tiger Shards of Phaeton Commission Me

Some of you may have noticed that I seem to have disappeared. As in, I haven't spoken to anyone or posted anything since Thursday. There's a perfectly valid reason for all this, I assure you. I'm not dead. I promise. I feel dead right now but that's just the exhaustion talking. I may have mentioned to some people that I was planning on going home to Edmonton for the Eater break (our school division gets a whole week off starting Good Friday). This did happen. I shut my computer off on Thursday night and we left Friday morning. I've been at my mom's since Friday at 4 pm. I was far too tired after spending a day in the car to bother with my computer and figured the internet would still be there the next day. I didn't turn my netbook on until Saturday night and discovered that I couldn't connect to my dad's network. This was odd as I've never had problems before.

It seems that he's upgraded his modem/router stuff to a faster internet. The problem is, its only set up for a certain kind of hardware which my parents' Macs have but our netbooks don't. So I can't use my netbook. Dad has a spare laptop sitting around that he set up for us to use so we could check facebook (we worry about break ins even though we've never had a problem in the time we've been there) and other stuff. It's not equipped with my usual chat programs and I'm usually too tired to do much more than browse. Such is the case tonight, but I figured I should say something. No sense worrying my friends.

I'll be heading home on Wednesday morning, meaning I should be home at about 4 pm. I wouldn't expect me to be very....talkative as tomorrow I go to get my new kitten. It's been 2 weeks now and I'm starting to be cat starved. So kitten tomorrow and then getting kitten used to its new home after having to deal with my mom's dogs tomorrow as well. I'd have one already but mom's allergic and one of her dogs may or may not be a cat killer. (Not sure; it may have been her or it may have been the male dog on the farm she came from. We're just not sure but better safe than sorry, yes?) Even so, we're all looking forward to this even though it will make our drive home slightly more complicated than it usually is. 8 hours in a car with two dogs, two kids, a kitten, and our luggage? Eeep....

Anyway, I'll see you all when I get home.



Side note: I'm shocked I made it into the next OSI round. Seriously? I wouldn't have blamed the judges for docking me some major points for the crappy image I submitted. Not complaining, just really surprised. Guess I should get started on my image soon, eh? I have my ref picked out so I'm good to go.
