Hey, Question Lady, this isn't what I really do. I actually play keyboard.

I cannot fucking believe that October is halfway over. This is frakking unreal. I feel like this entire year has gone by in a blink and I don't have nearly the amount of stuff done that I wanted to by this time. I have a podcast ep that needs putting up tonight (it was supposed to go up last night, but it isn't edited or mixed). I also have 2 articles due no later than Sunday, one of which had to have the topic changed because I won't have time to watch a movie twice before writing the article. Dang and fie!

Looks like I'm a regular Brett Favre when it comes to retiring from NaNoWriMo. That is to say that I'll be Zokoutoing that shit up once again this year. I have to bust some ass on the zombie novel, and so will be using the November momentum to make that happen. The Finster Effect promises to be a great novel--perhaps even better than KMLYLM.

JoJo is slowly coming back around to being his old self. He is still super skinny, he's a tiny guy anyway but he looks like he didn't eat for the whole week he was gone. Something got ahold of him out there too, and he was bleeding a bit on both sides of his head. I got a horrible mental picture of some big dog grabbing him by his little head and shaking him. I don't even know if that happened, but I want to kick that dog in the face. JoJo also has a small chunk missing from his head. I'm kind of afraid to take him to the vet. Since I can't prove what bit him, and he hasn't had his shots, they may say he's considered rabid and have to put him down. At the very least, his shots will be over $100 and it will be even more trauma for my poor little man. He's eating, playing fetch, and begging for food and attention, so I'm not too worried as far as that goes. But he's also kind of jerky and twitchy. I have no idea what might be causing that. We're keeping a close eye on him. He won't be fully in the clear for at least 4 more weeks.

Holiday shopping is well underway. All my fave peeps are getting some fly gifts and baked treats once again. Not sure what the menu will be this year. Expect those awesome butter cookies with jam that I do, oatmeal cookies w/cinnamon chips, either orange chocolate chips or mint--haven't decided yet, and maybe some kind of granola or bread.
Also, the invite for my birthday party has gone out via Facebook. If you didn't get one and feel you should have--it's probably an unintentional oversight. Do let me know.

Poor JoJo. Any sign of infection in his wounds? Hydrogen peroxide can be helpful with cleaning them, although if you see pus, he really should get on antibiotics. Not sure about the jerky twitchy thing. Is he just easily spooked if you approach him, or is he twitching for what looks like no reason?

The sounds look okay, just a little scabby but nothing that looks like an infection. Haven't seen the twitching since Tuesday so I'm thinking it was nerves or something. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he has PTSD now.

It probably was nerves. He had a pretty big adventure. That's good about the wounds. Keep an eye out for any swelling.

He just might! Catnip'll help. ; )
