I finally own a copy of "Star Wars: A New Hope". Or, speaking as a senior citizen, just plain "Star Wars ( Read more... )

I ended up being far less sedentary than I had previously planned. I got up late yesterday and read for a while, (I'm reading the first Harry Dresden novel, in addition to starting Dion Fortune's book on the Qabalah, as she spells it), then worked on my Warhammer 40k miniatures. I actually have enough for a decent-sized army of Brothers Hematic ( Read more... )

After a pretty grueling weekend (three ten hour days) I'm back. Steve is sick, and I wasn't sure if I'd go to work today, but I did. I kept busy all day, which was good, stopped off at Neighborhood Market to get more cat litter, some distilled water, and a take and bake pizza. I settled in with pizza, WWE, and Steve as I do most Mondays. This ( Read more... )

Well, the Litter Kwitter is a loss. It's three-stage, going from amber where there is a hole surrounded by a rim of litter about four inches wide directly to green where the rim is about an inch, inch and a half wide with a hole large enough for a human to use. This is simply too large a jump. The cats are happy to use the amber tray but the ( Read more... )

reginaterrae asked, and it's worth an update. Miss Lalat is wearing her pretty white and pink collar now and getting along better with Ivan. As I was doing my thing in the bathroom they both came in. She plopped down on the mat and Ivan washed her face. She rolled over but didn't swat him. They left the bathroom and when I was sitting on the bed making a ( Read more... )

I'm feeling whirled-about and confused. Within a week of coming back from Texas we had a new cat and new shutters, so I I'm back to feeling like I don't live in our condo, that I just stay there sometimes. This weekend is drill, and it's a change of command ceremony that I'm not looking forward to ( Read more... )

We went up to Lake Elsinore to meet Kathi, Little Kitty's foster mom. She's a vegan who takes in critters with her mom. Her mom, in fact, has a tortoise rescue. We have the same philosophy on cat care (raw meat, no grain, very fussy about the kibble) and she was sad to see LK go, but glad that she was going to a good home ( Read more... )

Steve and I got home Tuesday. We left San Antonio before 8 a.m. and by regulating our speed so we were never more than 5 miles over the speed limit got to Tuscon by 1900 Pacific Time. Steve was making noise about continuing on and getting home by midnight, but I disagreed. We stopped at a restaurant beside a Best Western and found that there was ( Read more... )

Because raw milk gives me a hard time, I put soymilk on my cereal in the morning. Today as I sat on the couch watching CNN with cereal bowl in hand, a certain little girl came up beside me and started pushing her little grey nose into it. It seems that SOMEONE has been teaching her that begging is acceptable behaviour from cats. Who could have ( Read more... )
