Happy Birthday Hec!
Happy Birthday Deb!
Happy Birthday Nic!
Cashmere, which day was your actual anniversary? I think I missed wishing you happy anniversary (in lj) by a day. I console myself by telling myself you were probably sleeping, anyhow.
Raquel, I woke late, and haven't had enough coffee to comprehend much beyond: everyone having to do with getting you some work sucks, and they should hurry up, give you more money, and not screw up your old job.
Happy birthday, Hec, you old rascal, you.
Happy Birthday, Deb, Hec, and Nic!
Goodness, this was a nifty day to be born.
Deena, those are great tiaras.
Happy Birthday Hec and Deb!!
Happy Birthday, Hec, Deb and Nic! What a fun day!
Poor Raquel! I hope you hear soon. Please don't have an ulcer. Sending you all my job~ma.
Toto and I had fun on our walk this morning. There was a drunk man taking a shit by one of the houses we walked by. I was trying to ignore it, but Toto decided that that was not ok and started barking at the guy. What a nice way to start a morning.
So, Hec, are your and JZ's birthdays just one day from each other?One day and seven years, yes.
Actually, I'm fairly certain it's six years and 364 days. t /unbearably pedantic
Hec is fast asleep, all tired out from sitting up celebrating the march of his birthday across the continent.
gives the hamster in Raquel's brain a bowl of alfalfa pellets and sunflower seeds to distract it
Jobma and salaryma and working-it-outma to you, in abundance.
And happy Deb and Nic Day!
Happy Birthdays, Nic, Hec, and Deb!
Raquel, I'll note only that the federal government is notoriously slow when it comes to hiring matters. So, I'm not too surprised that things are moving slowly.
Actually, I'm fairly certain it's six years and 364 days. </unbearably pedantic>
That is unbearably adorable.
And an update on the saga of the adopted kitties. When we last left you, we had just adopted two 7YO Himalayans (Max and Marie) that had been abandoned at a local boarder. They were kept in a spare room while we made sure it was safe to introduce them to our 11YO, Teddy, who's always been an only (and especially lately, seems to be a lonely) cat.
Over the weekend, we started letting Max and Marie out to explore the lower floor, where Teddy rarely goes. Max and Marie had other ideas, however, and eventually got up the stairs to Teddy. We kept things supervised, just in case either of the new cats had leukemia or FIV.
Max and Marie had the blood test last night -- negative for nasty illnesses. So now they're given fulltime run of the house.
Introductions are going about as well as can be expected. Max is very friendly and is getting past Teddy's defenses fairly well. Last night, I saw them laying down within 2 feet of each other, reasonably relaxed. Marie is more shy. Teddy is trying to get to know her, but she's actually hissed at him once or twice.
Hubs gave them breakfast this morning, and it turned into a disaster. He put the 3 plates in the same place (where Teddy's used to eating). Apparently, nobody was comfortable eating around the strange cat(s). Hubs tried to encourage mutual eating. Marie ended up hissing at Teddy. Hubs scolded Marie, and she ran off to pout.
When we left the house, Teddy was sulking in a corner of the bedroom, and Max and Marie were hanging out together in the living room.
I think this is going to take a while.
