All hail to Elf, God of Computers!

I can play the Sims again! I can do fractals again! I can take a break from Filter Forge (yeah, right).

But now I'm late. I have to gym, then go to Amber Lotus. And I forgot to print my last bill. Dipstick.

So tired. I keep waking up at 5:30, then slogging back through pseudo-sleep until after 7:00. Ugh.

But Athene is back!

Just waiting for Aleta to get back to me about the Fairy Tale cover. Ooh, what a mess! The moiré was caused by extreme paper texture, then on top of that was jpg-artifacting at the 100% level. Ugh. But I think I've got a pretty decent version for them, though it is perforce somewhat soft. There was only so much sharpening I could re-introduce without bringing out all the nasty stuff again.

I was really hoping to sleep this afternoon, but this is a rush job, so I guess I oughtn't. My cramps are only a sort of background ache, but I'm tired and have a headache (which computer work is definitely not helping @_@). And I can't take anything for the headache 'cause I already have a 12-hour naproxen in my system. Feh.

Okay, all together now! "Awwwwwwwwwwww, poor kitty!"

Heh heh.

Kind of sucks being stuck here waiting for the call. See if she got the jpegs, if they like them. Tcha. Maybe I'll just turn the monitors off and lie down until she calls. I could play the Sims, I suppose, but I'd really like to get away from this machine.

Oh, took Peter in for his annual today. Another $130 we don't have, but now that he's 12, they needed to do a "senior profile," which meant blood and urine samples, etc. Other than that, though, the (real) vet said he was in great shape. Except that his eyes are going a little cloudy, you'd never know he was 12, he said. [kitty beams] Oh, and the words "gorgeous" and "magnificent" also came up in conversation. =^_^=
