oyceterThe inability to concentrate continues. I've started at least ten different books over the past few weeks and finished a grand total of two. ARGH.
My rats are now taking antibiotics. It's nice to know that there is a vet around here who treats rats and thinks they are cute and adorable and things like that ^_^. People get immediate bonus points from me if they flatter my rats, hee hee.
Helped a friend with her thesis yesterday and felt rather good about that. People keep telling me I should go into editing or something, but then, I figure, I might be in that mindset for everything I read. Some things I like to keep apart from work.
Happy news: Going to Hawaii the last weekend of May! This is my dad's harebrained scheme -- do you know how hard (and expensive) it is to get tickets to Hawaii on Memorial Day weekend on two weeks notice?! I figured my dad had some sort of business thing there and asked my mom if she wanted to go. Then he probably thought, wow, that's right after Ning's school ends, so she could just join us there and fly back! Now let's call Jei (that's me) and ask her! It was a bit of a hassle... apparently everyone and their mother at work is off that weekend, but the bosses are being incredibly nice and letting me take Sat. off despite the lack of people at work. So I'll be in Hawaii for a wonderful five days with my family ^_^. My entire family. At the same time. It's a minor miracle.
Last time I saw my family, it was my dad, then my mom (right after my dad left), then a weekend with my mom and my dad, then right after they left, my sister showed up! I always feel kind of strange admitting that yeah, in general I rather enjoy spending time with my family. I mean, naturally they can drive me up the wall (my parents in particular... I get along fairly well with my sister), but family vacations are usually a fun time to goof off and mug in front of the camera and stuff. Plus, Hawaii! Partially makes up for not being able to go home this summer.
