why? why is the rum gone?

er, actually i mean why is livejournal down. i blame little tiny nibbly hamsters having eaten through the cords.

i am at my mom's house for a few days (my house is being ably occupied by my housemate) because while she's doing relatively well with the chemo, it still makes us all feel better to have someone here while my dad is in croatia. (does *your* job send you to croatia? mine neither.)

so, i am about to try sleeping in a twin bed with two small but not that small wiggly dogs. pirate is already asleep against my hip, and josie is on the floor somewhere, but she'll jump back up here, i expect. fortunately i am already well trained in how to not crush the chihuahua while sleeping. whew. or else there'd be some smooshing going on soon.
