That's a lot done, Fay! When do you actually leave Egypt?

Yay, Fay! I am so glad you can take Daniel with you!

Yeah, I'm glad I've got my arse into gear and DONE something. Although it was really the lady at the cat shelter who bulldozed me into getting organized - Go Team Her!
....and now I'm actually wondering whether I should double my moggie problem, by getting Daniel a wee friend in Bangkok? Because there are all these domesticated street cats being left behind by expats, and locals won't adopt them, so it's really down to expats...and if I've got one cat anyway, surely another one isn't going to make that much more chaos? Is it?
Obviously not going to jump the gun on that, but it's something I'll keep in mind for when I get there - assuming I can find myself pet-friendly accommodation! (Please God!)
He's clearly enjoyed knocking around with next door's cat (variously known as The Cat [to the neighbour], Socks [to my Flatmate], Death [to me] and DeathSocks [to FriendAroundTheCorner]), so it might be nice for him to have a companion. Maybe.
Anyway, today is June 24th and I fly on the night of June 27th/morning June 28th. Busy busy busy!

IME, cats are not like dogs - two is not really terribly different than one, in terms of household disruption. And they can entertain each other, so you get a net savings in guilt when you're busy.

Art Crawl!!!
Of course, people I know who have multiple dogs use the "What's one more?" principle to justify. And I think that having two dogs who only have to be reminded of their manners is probably easier than having one puppy who needs to be taught his manners.

Well, when it looked like I might have to leave Daniel here in the hopes that someone would adopt him, I became aware of how very many domesticated street cats are in that position. It's rather heartbreaking (because the locals won't take them in, so it's down to the idiot foreigners). I'm guessing it'll be the same in Thailand - it would be nice to be able to take in someone else's deserted Daniel, if you see what I mean.
Still, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, eh?

So, I've sat on my ass for a while, showered, and done dishes. Probably time to get to that to do list, huh?
Maybe once I'm in my new place I can have some lazy days? Probably not...but a girl can dream.

It sounds like you have at least two things done on your to do list so far.

Well, they are daily things, so they don't go on the to do list anymore. They're givens.
Edit: Really, I need to do homework, and I just don't waaaaaaaaaaaanaaaaaaa.
