I’m tired from the gym, have eaten some ice cream, and my iPad 2 has shipped, so I’m in an oddly good mood. I’m feeling much better than I did yesterday, though my stomach still doesn’t seem 100% so I didn’t go all out at the gym. At least not on the shuttle runs.

That being said, THMFIC at the gym’s dog is getting minor surgery and dental work tomorrow and, for that, is getting anesthesia. Poor Jakey isn’t the youngest pup, so here’s hoping he gets through the procedure with no ill effects.

And I get to go in to play pincushion tomorrow. I figure it’s a win-win. The labwork will show what to do next in any medical treatment, and if it’s bad news at all, I’m going to buy a new MacBook Pro whether I sell this one or not. I might even do it if I’m fine. I was going to make three selfish purchases: an iPad 2, a Prius, and a MacBook Pro. The Mac is on hold because I’m having trouble selling my current one (it’s the top of the 15″ line, isn’t a year old yet, and worth a bit more than most people are willing to spend). The Prius is probably on hold because Toyota has shut down their manufacturing plant. At least the iPad is in the hands of FedEx.

Oh, and I guess I should post the link for the Google 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami donation page. Like I said, I donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society, even though it’s a foreign organization and possibly not tax deductible. The tax implications are not the reason I’m donating. I also gave a bit more than usual because, well, ¥10,000 (which is closer to what I give to local charities) just didn’t seem like a lot. It’s a lot if you convert it to US dollars, but it’s just one banknote in Japan. It’s a psychological thing. Plus I wish I could do more than just click on a web page and send money.
