All packages headed this past weekend, and 
should arrive on Wednesday or Thursday if you're 
in the US, or next Friday at the latest if 
you're overseas.  Thank you again, everyone -- 
now that we're looking at rather extensive 
ongoing care bills for Steve, having the surgery 
paid completely off was a huge, HUGE help.

To those who want to keep up with the whole 
kitty saga, I'll be posting updates on the main 
page of evilminion.com.  Steve went in for his 
first chemo treatment this past Friday -- he'll 
be receiving regular injections for the next six 
months -- and he doesn't seem to be showing any 
extra ill effects from it.  Even with the chemo, 
a cat with lymphosarcoma has only an average 
life expectancy of six months, but I'm 
determined that our li'l bastard will be the one 
to beat those odds.  :)

After all, he sits on the couch and watches 
inordinate amounts of shounen anime with us -- 
you'd figure he must have picked up some 
tips on defying all obstacles by now.  *grin*

And now, in order to keep this post on-topic and 
avoid The Wrath of Yann... *tickles Yann*... I 
shall momentarily mention the recent Mandarake 
Zenbu lottery.  While I managed to nab a couple 
of very cool cels, including a mech blueprint 
cel from Gundam Z, the one item I desired 
most eluded me -- an incredibly silly SD 
Gundam cel of Char and several of the girls, 
complete with original production background.  I 
believe I griped at length to just about 
everyone I knew after the lottery was over about 
missing that cel.  Yadda yadda, kvetch kvetch, 
some wretched bastard, grumble, grumble... you 
all know the speech by now, I'm sure.  *grin*

So, um... how would I have guessed that my 
husband was the guy who won it, as a prezzie for 
his SD Gundam-obsessed wife?



Do I have the best hubby ever, or what?  ^_^
