Aw, I send my best wishes to the sick kitty.
And Ucantalas, that sounds like a bummer, hope it clears up soon.
In the SF Bay Area, as I'm sure some of you know, its been so grey and rainy recently and triggered some introspection.
I seem to go through cycles of being lost and having a direction of purpose. I currently work in a coffee shop. I don't mind the job too much, but I know that my real calling is in creating, so I work there while self-teaching myself programming and drawing (hopefully get to painting soon) and look for opportunities in the future.
I think the best I can do is work hard and capitalize on the times when the purpose is there.
(Also, I'm having to write part of this with an on-screen keyboard because keys are randomly deciding not to work on my laptop. That will get in the way of programming >.<)
