In the craziness of kittidom and kids still home from school I have gotten a few things done that could be considered productive…

Kittens (the four feral and the gray tabby I picked up at the adoption fair while getting med for the others…long story) have had both series of meds and are happy and healthy. Two will stay with me, the other three will ( Read more... )

Whew, I never thought I’d finally say this, but…

So, while I won’t be around much tomorrow, and the business part of the trip being networking and learning how to promote Ancestral Magic when it comes out ( Read more... )
