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?

Yup. He’s sick. Clueless just barfed spectacularly throughout the dining room of the apartment. Since he ate nothing this morning, this was last night’s dinner coming back. Confirmation of this took form of his completely intact Pounce treat in the middle of the barf. The Pounce treat that he got nearly nineteen hours ago with…
So the garage door is fixed. New garage door opener, new springs, new cables, new pully-thingies, new safety sensors at the prescribed legal height (apparently our last ones were too high), new gizmos to remote operate the door, new gadget with a bunch of push-buttons to non-remote open the door … I think we’re set….
No, not a permanent move. Yet. But I will be out there for a week in August. I purchased the tickets for the Professor and myself Sunday night, and made arrangements for the rental car yesterday evening. This is all stuff that my husband used to do, and I can feel myself shedding insecurities as…
I include this brief update because I know there is inherent humor in it, though I myself shall have to wait for the passage of time to find it. Sunday, I purchased Jelly Belly jelly beans. They were sugar-free, and fit right in with my diet. They’re also quite good. You’d never know they weren’t…
I’m up for a big job. A former veterinary school professor/mentor/friend has put my name up for the quality assurance position that has become available at Big City Veterinary School. This person would be responsible for auditing the lab to make sure it stays in compliance for its accreditation as a state lab. It is…
The check-up at Big City Hosptial wasn’t nearly as comprehensive as last year’s, thought there’s a few things they want me to follow up with on my own. They want a more recent MRI on my liver than last summer’s, and I’m supposed to round up a nutritionist for myself to talk to. There was…
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

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!!!

~~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!
