pameladean | There goes 2002

I won't be back until 2003, so allow me to wish anybody who is reading this a happy New Year. I hope, however your 2002 was, that 2003 is better.

I got a shining notion for the next bit in Chapter 3, and am going to let it ripen a bit while I'm partying.

I made vegetarian chili with soy crumbles for the first time. It was judged a success. We had cornbread and broccoli with it, but I already knew I could make those.

Toliman is showing signs of adopting me. I hope he will forgive Eric for being gone so long. My own cat has entered one of his phases where he refuses to sleep with me when I sleep downstairs. If I bring him downstairs and put him on the bed he just leaves, runs upstairs, and bangs on the kitchen door until Raphael lets him in again. When I sleep upstairs I am suddenly persona grata again and am allowed to have my head slept on.

Must get ready for the Minn-Stf New Year's Eve party.
