This is for Vas Littlecrow, whose cat is having a tough time right now, and is looking for help for her cat: "My Fluffy may have cancer."

There's not much I can do at this time beyond a signal boost, so here goes!

I am pleased to announce that the stray kitty, whom I had taken to calling Iris, was rehomed last night, and had a back-up foster parent. I would like to warmly thank the generosity of the signal boosts, and everyone who helped. She made her new home with the fine family of Kat and Devon. I left with a happy heart, knowing that I had left her in ( Read more... )

Last night I was looking for one of my cats, and I couldn't find her at all. I passed by an open window where I heard a cat screaming like she was about to die outside. I ran outside, and being in an incredibly rural area, searched but did not find my cat. Since it was well past dark, I noticed my neighbors across the way were standing in their ( Read more... )

It's time to say openly that Chris and I are getting married. After 15 years of friendship and more, we're finally signing a new contract. Without devolving into sap, I wouldn't have anyone else- he is the person I want to see at the end of every day, we make a formidable team, and has a mind that works like my own.

I'm now getting good offers, offers I'd be proud to pursue if I were looking. It was an amazing feeling to turn down an offer for a damn good job recently ( Read more... )

Mission 101 spanning 2007-2010 is over as of today. I intend to start another in a few months, because I enjoyed this one. I'll do my wrap up then because there is no time as of now.

I realized recently that out of 200+ numbers on my cell phone, I had very few I wanted to talk to, and out of those, far fewer wanted to talk to me. So I broke a rule I've had over half my life about never deleting contact info, and deleted almost everyone off my cell. It's a first, but I doubt anyone will notice.

It's about that time ( Read more... )

There’s a rather revolting element of self-entitlement to the phrase. There’s nothing about it that isn’t snide. It never bothered be before, but I’ve heard it twice in as many days, once directed at a new coworker, and once directed at myself. In the case of a coworker, she was going on vacation for two weeks, and someone made the comment, “ ( Read more... )
