Waiting
Geez. I find it quite hard to believe that J and I have been married for 6 months already.
Well, technically we were only together for a week or so and we never really went into an adjustment period (we've got time to do that in SF), but 6 months is 6 months -- and even if he is not around it is quite different how I go about things now -- always considering him in the decisions I make :)
When J gets here we will spend a couple days in Boracay -- this time at Nami Villas. I've always looked longingly at the place when we are at the beach, and I'm quite excited to sit at the balcony, with a frosty glass of pina colada at a table beside me, and watch the beach below. Hopefully we get to go to Mandala for a great massage again (and I am really longing to have an "Exhale" session)

We've gotten the revised album layout from Pilar and although I still have some niggles about a spread or two, most are good to go. J and I will finalise comments and get back to her by mid next week.
I cant wait to get the album. I really love the heaviness, and mattiness, and period-ishness of it all.

My dad picks up the neighborhood stray cats and takes them to the animal shelter every Spay Day to get them fixed for free. He usually catches 2 or so at a time, and then nurses them until they have recovered from the operation before setting them free again. We really cannot take in all the strays we find, but Papi does this trap-neuter-release thing in the hope that the number of future strays gets minimized.
I was at the office last night finishing some work when Papi called me on my mobile. One of the strays he had fixed was bleeding profusely from her incision -- and despite his cleaning and bandaging the wound the bleeding had not stopped.
So at midnight we found ourselves on the way to the vet together with Mother (the name Papi gave the bleeding cat) and Mike (a male cat he had fixed earlier that day who had to go with us since we had no spare cages left for him). The vet and his assistant placed a pressure bandage around Mother's stomach and placed her on an IV drip. They did not operate because the loss of blood had left her weak and opening her up immediately ran a high risk of her dying.
I got a call from Dra. Siday to tell me that the wound had not stopped bleeding and that they would need to operate. They found that the stitches inside her had slipped and that there was a muscle tear as well. They restitched her and placed her on an IV drip, and gave her painkillers and antibiotics (as she had a fever).
I hope she gets better quickly.
ETA: Mother's a-ok and back on the street.
