Average Jane Update

Just for the sake of continuity, I thought I’d wrap up a few loose topics from the last week or so that I’d never brought up again.

  • The Amazing Puking Cat – I took Chunky to the vet on Saturday morning (not before she managed to yakk on the bed one last time) and, to make a long story short, they gave her an anti-nausea injection and sent me home with a bag of special dry food that’s supposed to be easy to digest. It occurred to me that this would mean feeding all four cats separately. My inner pragmatist took over and I filled the cats’ self-feeder with the special food so everyone could eat it. That was the end of Feline Hurlfest 2004.
  • The Stupendously Expensive Car Repair – No word yet, although it must be getting close to completion. Last week the emergency backup car stranded me a couple of blocks from work and had to be towed to the shop, too. I didn’t bring it up at the time because it made my intra-cranial pressure increase to think about it. It turned out to be a relatively minor problem and the tow cost as much as the repair. D’oh!
  • The Weekend Road Rally Adventure – I drove someone else’s Porsche Cayenne in a rally the Saturday before last. It was a blast! We didn’t make the top three, but my navigator (the car’s owner) and I had a delightful two-hour run and a lot of laughs.

Finally, here’s something new: the Average Jane Boutique. People seem to like my scribbly alter ego, so I’ve set up a CafePress shop with a few t-shirts and other miscellaneous products featuring Jane. My reasoning on matching designs to products: the girly stuff mostly says “Average Jane” and the manlier stuff says “AverageJane.com.” If you’re just dying to have a particular product with a different variation of the artwork, e-mail me and I’ll make it available. (Oh yeah, I’ve finally added an e-mail address to my profile.)

Tonight we’re going to a Neighborhood Watch meeting, which might provide some interesting column fodder. Have a lovely Wednesday!
