Quiet?

No one posts to lj on New Year's Eve. I'm sitting around with Glenn Miller playing In The Mood super loud before heading out to the Dreadnoughts. There's too much black ice on the side roads, and too many drunks on the main streets, for me to feel comfortable biking tonight. Luckily six people from this household are heading to the same place as I am tonight, so co-cabbing is an option; luckily because the wait for cabs tonight is going to be so long as to be ludicrous and company will be welcome.

Implette died yesterday. She was less than a year old; I know of no reason she should have gone, but she did. Her breathing was fine, she had no tumours: that's 80% of rat causes of death out of the way. So...?

Down to 24 rats at home now. My goal is maybe 20 or so, although 24 is pretty manageable. I don't like how quickly I'm achieving it.

New Year? Not hardly. This is the dead of the old. New years' comes with the first hazelnut blossoms, tiny red things on twigs under a yellow sun in air that smells like the first stirrings of awakening. It's followed closely by flowering apricots, by the chinese new years' parade, things like that. This is just another of those inexplicable white-person holidays that involves spending money and fucking with normal important body things like eating and drinking well and sleeping enough.

Angus is working tonight. Last year he was in Las Vegas. I'm getting really tired of the kissing part of the New Year celebration, you know?

I was in bed when midnight hit. Probably not actually asleep yet, but in bed. Over the years, most of my concern for New Years has been remembering to write 2009 on everything beginning this morning. ;)

I'm half awake yet. Somehow I managed to think but not type: Im very sorry to hear of the loss of Implette. :(

Take care, and simply kiss Angus when you see him next! I'm sorry to hear you lost one of your littles - but maybe it was better that it was unexpected, than that she was suffering with the 'usual' tumour. Sorry we weren't able to see you earlier this week - *our* little was having a multiple-day bout of tummy issues over the holidays, but it looks like that has cleared up. Now I'm sick *sigh.*

Hope you enjoyed your concert!

Wanna get together this weekend sometime?

The concert was lovely.

Sorry - Adrian and I are both sick, and I just looked at my e-mail now. I have spent most of today in bed, and he and I are both coughing and sneezing, with absolutely no energy. I'm pretty sure we're disgustingly contagious right now.

Glad your concert went well - we had a very quiet night with just a few board games, and that was what suited me this time :)

Take my word on it - stay healthy!!!!
