First week back at the new/old job went fairly well. Adapted pretty easily to the changes, which includes a lot more hands-on editing than before (I'm actually editing raw XML files now--eep!) Made a few little mistakes here and there, but otherwise it's been like riding a bike.

Most everyone's been happy to see me again, though there's still no real socializing going on there. It's just not that kind of office, for one, and contractors aren't really part of what little social grouping there is. S'OK, though. Means I don't get pestered much, either.

My official contract goes through Jan. 28. There's a very, very tiny chance I could get a week or so off after that, which might allow me to go to that UK event the following weekend. Of course, then there's the issue of finding the money to do it, which is still a problem.
--
Some of this might be somewhat mitigated by an idea I had on the kid-obtaining front. I don't want to jinx it by saying too much before I know whether it's possible, but I realized that there's one avenue of the getting-me-preggers route that we hadn't totally ruled out, so I'm going to see if my fertility clinic will consider it (since they won't consider IVF for me.) Even if we had to do multiple rounds of this particular thing, it'd still be cheaper than the adoption, so we definitely at least want to look into it.

On the Fammy front: Some bad, but mostly good. She's not only still around, but she's been downright perky lately. We were still having trouble getting her to eat much, so the doc gave us a prescription for an appetite stimulant, and that seems to have done some good. She's still not really eating a lot, but it's more than before, and more than that, it's pretty clear she feels better. She even begged to be let out of the theater this morning, and spent the day roaming the house. We still may need to get her in for an ultrasound and liver biopsy, but I think I'm going to spend the weekend monitoring her to see if she continues to improve before we put her through that.
--
And speaking of the weekend: I seem to have been bitten by a vid bunny. I know I said I wasn't going to do any more fanworks for now, and I still may not finish it, but I do want to dink around with it at least a little bit. I don't otherwise have weekend plans and I still want to stick close to the house for the cat, so I may as well muck around with that.
