Pepper’s still at the vet’s. They’re keeping her overnight; standard procedure, so I shouldn’t be worried… but I can’t help it. Plus, I miss her. I realized that when I put my pj’s on at 9, I couldn’t do that with her here, or if I did, I’d have to change back to take her out. Her surgery went well. Vet said no complications, the blood work turned out fine, so the liver stunt with her sibling must not be an issue with Pepper; at least not right now. She may not have a cone tomorrow, we’ll see. I’ll definitely have to check her insision every day, which I’m not looking forward to. If I’m lucky, I won’t have to remove anything. But I miss her soooo much! Weird how I can be this attached after 5 months.

In house news, I have the second viewing tomorrow afternoon. We’ll see how it turns out. We’ll be taking a much more critical look this time, discussing what I’ll put down, which reminds me that I’m going to have to get my money out of my mutual fund at some point, since that can take some time for processing. Might have to ask for an advance from dad too, since if I make an offer I’ll have to put some money with it to show that I’m serious about this. But it shouldn’t be too much… man, there’s a lot of stuff to do. Being an adult is stressful! It was much easier buying barbie a new house — all I had to do was decorate an old shoe box which I “bought” from my brother with an extra turn on Monopoly.

Worked at Dad’s today. He’s setting up a database, doesn’t get it, and is trying to figure out xml code… um… I think there’s a harder way for him to do this, but it can’t be much harder than what he’s doing now. What he should be doing is not worrying — the software generates the xml for him, and our hosting has both the ability to create new databases from the cPanel, not to mention phpmyadmin after it’s created… There really is nothing for him to figure out. Anyways, we never got to it because he had a million other things to do. I told him there’s no point on me going back tomorrow if the same thing was going to happen. He agreed, and decided that he’d rather do other things than make time for this. So that’s what’s happening. Which makes me happy, for the most part. Because a)Your own home is always more comfortable than someone else’s and b) you can take a real break, without having to talk about work on said break. The big plus, however, at working at your parents is free laundry, food, & if you’re really lucky, maybe even the remote control.

…new poll. I updated and lost the old one. Answer what you want. I don’t have my heart set on the townhouse to the point that I’ll pay above asking price, I’ll be disappointed that this isn’t the one, though. Oh, and I’m not painting the room the colour just because you guys think it’s the best! I’m just curious if anyone agrees with me. You can pick up to 3, so feel free to select more than one.
