The new place.
A separate bathroom to lock each cat into when they get out of hand. A walk-in closet. Large storage area. A private entrance. MY OWN WASHER AND DRYER! Is this not beautiful to behold?

A co-worker walked up to me today and casually mentioned meetings that she’d attended where they’d discussed phasing out a program that represents a major part of my job. She assumed I knew about it. Of course, this was the first I’d heard of it. Anybody ever watch Deep Space Nine? Remember the game “Tongo”…
I was getting ready to leave the office tonight when the phone rang. It was somebody who works with my state’s APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services) branch of the USDA. This person had run a long term study at our facility, and we’d gotten to be friends while she was here. It seems…
Finally got the test results back from Dr. Fell yesterday. PET scan: Normal No detectable masses anywhere in my body. Flow cytology: Normal No detectable abnormal cells in my bloodstream. I’m staged at 1A: Cancer affecting less than 10% of my skin, with nothing in blood, lymph nodes or organs. I can live with that.
It was so touching. I slept to 11:30 this morning, and may have kept sleeping a bit longer if it hadn’t been for the Kitten throwing herself at my bedroom door. The poor thing was agitated beyond belief, and I imagined her thinking that something was wrong with me and loyally trying to break down…
I continue to feel overwhelmed. The little Prius isn’t helping. The check engine light came on today on the way to work. As a result I need to figure out a juggling routine that allows me to get my car looked at (state inspection and an oil change are due anyhow) and still allows me…
There was a road rage incident in the Big City not too many days ago. An article about the incident can be found at $200,000 bail set in hit-and-run. Another story is at Road-rage suspect hit with DUI These newspapers only make the last seven days of news items available, so the articles may not…
I used to have a friend who would go looking for baby birds every spring then raise them. She could never understand why they would get caught by a cat as soon as she released them. She finally figured it all out and just left them be!

baby bird time, kitten time, and the increase in road kill time. i love spring, and i hate spring at the same time.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, I haven’t seen that movie in so long it would be new to me.
I love old movies. I just rented ”The Quiet Man” (John Wayne, MaureenO’Hara)
”Leave Her to Heaven”
and ”Laura”
*munches popcorn*
VCR…great invention =)
My favorite part: I was wondering why there were other birds behind me, screaming at me too….
Oh I love that movie! I read the book too… very interesting moral to it. Enjoy! Oh and congrats on the apartment!
congratulations on the apartment, sal!! the bird story was oddly amusing. i remember poking a fat bird with a stick as a child because it wasn’t flying or reacting to our presence (though it was alive. seemed to just be chilling) i don’t remember it screaming, though. it might have been in the same situation.
There was a band back home called Dorion Gray.
I can’t remember if they were any good… I’m sure the movie is better! 🙂
I love how you know the name of plants! I need to buy gardening for dummies, if there is such a thing. I feel so inept when people start talking plants.

WOW! I am jealous
it is indeed a beauty to behold! it looks huge! how many sq feet?
WOW! 2 baths too! a dream. enjoy!!
Wow! I’m jealous as hell!
Looks great!
in case you were wondering, no, I didn’t read Shay’s comment before I left mine…
It’s massive! But does it have an automatic garage door opener?
Your own washer and dryer adjacent to the bedroom where most of the laundry comes from….BONUS!!!
Alli
~~AWESOME!~~

Awwwww, I would’ve done the same thign your sister did,lol. Poor baby bird!! LoL…
Nice house, looks spacious, big, whoooo!! I cant wait to get a place of my own. Now I know I’ll regret saying that when I do,lol!
Love,Alaina
Wow, look at all that room! The layout looks really nice. Our family of five went from 800 square feet to 1800 sq feet five years ago. It was great to stretch out, only problem was that we did not have enough furniture to spread out with us.
It’s gorgeous!! 😀
That looks like a big apartment!! You’re lucky :).
It is a beautiful thing. I don’t believe I could ever go back to communal laundry. It’s so much easier to toss it in and forget it in the dryer for a day or two….
Your own washer and dryer. One of life’s best luxuries!
