Happy New Year!

Things at Home: 3 humans, 5 cats. Our fair-weather outdoor cat is now safely in his cage in the basement, and he seems pretty happy to be out of the weather. Despite the pandemic, Christmas was actually busier at our house - Little Brother and his husband came to stay for the holiday. They considered staying until New Year, but ( Read more... )

Things at Home: 3 humans, 4 cats. All is well. Thanksgiving was quiet this year, but that’s no different than other years, lol. We did our usual turkey TV dinners, and Mom made a pumpkin cheesecake (yummy!)

Things at Work: same as usual. We’re still getting our temperatures taken, but there haven’t been any Covid cases, so that’s good. And we ( Read more... )

Things at Home: 3 humans, 4 cats. All is well. Everyone is still healthy here, and we’ve all turned in our mail-in ballots. All we can do now is cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Things at Work: still good. We’re getting a little busier, which is good, as long as we don’t get too busy. And nobody dressed up for Halloween this year - I ( Read more... )

Things at Home: 3 humans, 4 cats. All is well. We’re all still healthy and hanging in there, but as you’d expect, there isn’t much going on around here.

Things at Work: still good. I had my yearly review - I’m doing a great job and got a 3% raise. Yay, me!

Things at Home & Work: 3 humans, 4 cats. All is well. Well, as well as we can all be during a pandemic. The world is still on fire (some literal, some metaphorical) and it doesn’t seem to be getting better any time soon. But, we’re still safe and sound, and that’s not nothing. Also, my little brother finally finished his PhD and got a job - ( Read more... )

Things at Home & Work: 3 humans, 4 cats. All is still well. Work is the same for me. Dad’s now back to five days a week - they’re doing one day at home, one day in the office, alternating. We’ll see how that works out ( Read more... )

Things at Home & Work: 3 humans, 4 cats, all is still well. I’ve been going into work this whole time, but Dad is now more un-furloughed - he’s in the office two days, working from home one day, then off the last two (plus the weekend). Still not great, but it’s progress. Our state is at the end of ‘yellow phase’ and moving towards ‘green phase ( Read more... )

Things at Home & Work: Still a pandemic. 3 humans, 4 cats - we didn’t lose a cat, our outdoor Tabby Cat is back outside for the summer - and all is relatively well. Dad is now semi-un-furloughed, working from home three days a week. Which is good, and he’s enjoying the lack of commute. He’s even built himself a new desk, instead of using the ( Read more... )

Things at Home & Work: because those things are still kind of one thing. 3 humans, 5 cats. All is still well. Mostly. Dad is now furloughed (not technically laid off, in that he’ll have his job back when this is over, but officially enough that he can sign up for the government assistance thing). I’m still working, so we’re doing okay. ( Read more... )
