Crap. Forgot about Social Security; it was on my first list, but somehow got dropped when doing the rewrite. Another $10 to add to the list, since they want the certified marriage certificate too. Must remember to print S.S. forms when I get home. (I’m at yet another Starbucks, grabbing a quick ice coffee and working on name change forms in the only convenient place I can go that is cat-free.)
Oh well, enough of that. I’m off to check the cats at the shelter.
I just finished completing a health certificate for some animals we’re shipping off-site. The certs aren’t complicated, but they’re time consuming. Like other government forms I’ve dealt with, they want ten paragraphs of information on three lines or less. I get good practice with microwriting by doing these forms. I then put my head in…
Yes people, it’s started. My insufferable Minion has yet again tuned into the 24/7 Christmas carol station, starting today. I will not be responsible for the outcome. It is on his head if I crack from one too many renditions of “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer” or “The First Noel”. Especially because he is likely to…
I came home from running errands Tuesday to find the next door neighbors parked in the spot I’d left next to our garage. Yesterday The Prof told me he’d spotted the neighbors outside late at night with a small black puppy, trying to get it to attend to its business. I quipped to The Prof…
OK, back from the first trip to the dentists. The news isn’t nearly as bad as I expected, which is not to say it’s great news. I don’t know why I expect to get a full cleaning done last night. At any rate, it didn’t happen. What I got was a full initial consult. Which…
The friend I went to Boston with has nineteen cats. I think I may have mentioned this in my diary previously. She’s an absolute sucker for a cat in need. The clinic where she practices at took in a homeless kitten while she was in Boston last week. They named it “Twenty” in her absence,…
The Salamander is spoused, the Professor is partnered. Warmest wishes for you both. I’m so glad you were able to have the nice, informal process you both wanted.
An I did raise a glass of pinot noir yesterday.
To you both

The time and costs involved in passports never fail to shock me. I can’t quite grasp why they are so darned expensive. It doesn’t make any sense. It’s just a little booklet fergawdsakes!
RYC: our two local shelters (hs & county) advertise through PetFinder and I have a peek at least a couple of times a week. I keep threatening to get another cat but to tell the truth I’m still not over Sami Cat and she’s been gone for almost 13 months *sigh*
