My biggest concern over the holidays was ensuring there was someone to take care of the kitties. Now that the schedule has been more solidly set, I can say with certainty when they needed care.
I suddenly had a brain flash today. I should ask
1handsomedevil if it was okay for the kitties to visit there (and their brother Fred) for the holiday week I'm away. They said no problem. I'll feel sad without my kitties with me for the holidays, but they'll be in familiar surroundings with familiar people, a familiar cat and well taken care of, I'm sure. Kitty pickup is on Sunday at noon. We'll have to sort kitty drop-off back to my place thereafter. I'll be home late on January 1st so perhaps the evening of January 2nd if that works out.
I'll be spending a full week with A&K in Stratford starting Grumpmas day. (thanks
curgoth for the awesome term of dislike of the "holiday spirit")
We're looking forward to a good length of time together watching movies, getting up to shenanigans and debauchery, sleeping in, playing games, hanging out and just... being... together.
