....to remind you to enjoy the simple things and not stress about the things you have no control over.

I learned this from my cats.

Cats are very wise.

Now where'd I leave that catnip mousie?????

Been a long strange trip the last month.... more later when I FINALLY have a few days off over Christmas ( Read more... )

....and my tea to brew.   This getting up early on the weekends thing has both pluses and minuses.  Right now I'm too groggy to see past most of the minuses though until I gets me some tea.

Not as much done yesterday as I'd wanted (isn't that always the case? /sigh )  However there's another day to get stuff done in so I'm still upbeat about making ( Read more... )

Packing kitchen stuff/dishes so more boxes go on the "to be donated" pile.  Waiting to hear from a friend if her church is going to actually step up and take this stuff--if not, I start contacting the big organizations to get it the hell out of here.

Tired of having my living room look more like a walkway with all the stuff staged there waiting to ( Read more... )

...still dealing with the cat power struggles.  God how I wish I could REASON with Brie...  but intellect has never been one of her positives.  :(

Kitten is growing rapidly though....and she's going to be a big cat--body type looks to be quite similar to Bries'--long, lean, muscular.  I just hope the "EEEK!  RUN!  BIG NASTY GONNA KILL ME!" isn't too ( Read more... )

.....and I'm still fighting the "Brie wants to kill Stinky" battle.   :(

Got more done in the house yesterday.  The two new Hunter ceiling fans arrived.  My custom closet kit was ordered.  I'm making arrangements to have a friend install all those next weekend.  And IF I can pick out/buy the over-the-range microwave I want (no, don't have an exact ( Read more... )

Brie still goes after Stinky every chance she gets..... but somehow, even though she's still fully fluffed and looks serious, it doesn't SOUND as serious (if that makes any sense).  But though Stinky will charge full bore at Missy, launch herself and tussle with the elder tortie... as soon as she sees Brie she hunkers down, growls and becomes "the ( Read more... )

Buy several squirt guns. Fill with water.  Leave in strategic locations.

Excellent kitten training aids.

That is all. 

Anyone got any good suggestions?   Both are PPC machines.  One is a 17" Aluminum MacBookPro, the other a G4.  Both work fine.  The laptop is running Leopard, and the G4 is running Tiger server atm ( Read more... )

I've been inactive a while on LJ, but not inactive IRL.  Much has happened, but one of the biggest is that I am adopting a rescue kitten.  She's (now) 12 weeks old and a tortie (yes another one!).

My issue however is not with the kitten but with Brie.  Brie is actively, and honestly trying to kill her.

I'm not exaggerating.  I've introduced new ( Read more... )
