What a busy 2 weeks a work! I'm working on a couple of shots for a CG animated movie. I'm trying to render different levels of the scene for an artist to composite. But my renders were coming out all black. Sort of like a polaroid that gets pulled apart before it develops. That is the OLD polaroids that you had to separate not the new ones that just develop before your eyes. I'm babbling.
Tomorrow I"m planting a bunch of plants in the garden. I'm making one spot for Chelsea, one of the VAS cats who left us on Tuesday. Something about her touched my heart. Many of the VAS cats do, but I felt the need to make something for Chelsea. Maybe because she liked gardens so much. I picked some whote flowers with one orange striped gazania, since that was Chelsea's color. I hope they survive. How horrible to plant a tribute that then dies itself. Then you would have to plant a tribute to the tribute. I hope it doesn't get carried away.
I'm doing almost entirely gardening this weekend. I think I have found a new obsession. Once back at work on Tuesday, we have the opportunity to meet the original Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill. I'm very excited, but I think Russ is even more so even though he doesn't get to meet him in first person. He'll have to rely on my version of the visit.
Duncan is fine though. His hair is growing back and he seems so happy, except for an abcessed tooth. But we're trying some homeopathic stuff. Good boy Duncan!

Long time no blog
My bad. There actually have been developments, which I will now catch up on.
First, the biggest. Hawaii. It was great. We snorkled an dsaw lots of cute fish. I liked to chase them around the coral.. I doubt they enjoyed that, but hey, better than having someone tap on the fishtank. We stayed at a really fun hotel with a Tiki Bar full of Shag paintings. The food was great. We ventured north and did the Shrimp Truck and more snorkling. Then Russ cut his heel on coral and it would not stop bleeding. So we had to head back to the hotel and drop off the car. We went to the Urgent Care place, but they didn't take our insurance. At this point, I was on the beach waiting because it was so COLD in that office. Russ phoned me to say he was on his way to the ER where they would take his insurance. He gave me an out which I quickly took to not stay with him at the ER. I took the time to shop for trinkets for my family so it worked out OK, except of course that Russ was in the hospital. Is that cold? The next day, poor Russ was depressed and stayed in and watched TV while I took a surfing lesson. I had to. When would I get another chance to surf on Waikiki Beach?
When we returned home, Duncan was doing great. More energy and interest than I have seen from him in a long time. Even since before the surgery. Then he started on this weird series of constipation/diarrhea. It's been going on for 2 weeks now. Not sure if the enema and medications have completly disrupted his system or if he has something going on there, some disease. I've got him off meds now to see if he can right himself through diet alone. We hope for the best. But his energy level is really good.
Of course as soon as I started to write this, some work has come in, so I"ll have to finish this later. I promise.
