Current obsessions

1. Cat health.
2. Composting/vegetable gardening.
3. "True Blood."
4. Fitness?!

1. Poor little Scrybaby got really sick about a month or so ago, and had a UTI that turned into a kidney infection because she has a terribly neglectful mom. So sad. Her darling veterinarian, Dr. Aubrey, thought that she had chronic renal failure, and needed to go on that disgusting kidney diet food that's made of garbage instead of meat. Which I was not excited about, since it seems like the baby is allergic to chicken, and all of those foods have chicken in them. So yours truly was combing through cat health books and wingnut websites, trying to figure out what I could feed Scribe. I was seriously considering buying a meat grinder and feeding her ground up rice and cornish game hens for the rest of her life, when she got another blood test and we found out that she doesn't have chronic renal failure after all. So she can go back to her regular limited ingredient diet, which, in case you were wondering, includes such animals as quail, duck, rabbit, venison, and lamb. Ew.
2. So I got to finish obsessing about my little tiny one, just in time to start obsessing about even tinier ones- composting microbes. Kyle and Jessi got the compost pile going over at their house (soon to be Kyle's and my house) and I am crazy for it. It's so cool! I'm trying really hard to get it to get nice and hot. Back to the books and internet wingnuts! I've been reading http://wastefreeliving.blogspot.com/, now at http://wastefreeliving.com/blog/. I didn't want to like the Compost Maven, because she's stolen Alison Bechdel from me, but I do. Sigh.
Oh, man! So we're growing ten million different vegetables. But, as I told Carolyn, "I'll believe it when I eat it." A lot of things could happen, but right now it's so exciting! Kyle and I (and Jessi too, I'm sure) have spent lots of time crouching over the dirt, trying to figure out what cute little shoots are weeds and what we've actually planted. I need to take some pictures.
3. I'm almost done with the first season of "True Blood." Overall I really like it, though it does have its slow moments. I'm partway through the last episode, but I'm putting off watching it because I'm sure it's going to end with some awful cliffhanger and I'm not ready.
4. I started going swimming a few times a week, but I seem to be falling off the trolley. I really like it and like how my body feels when I swim, but it's kind of boring. I've also been doing a yoga DVD, and just got a cardio workout DVD from the library. I just noticed this morning that it has a bible quotation on the case, so maybe I'm about to work out with J.C.
