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.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
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.

I still put the daily things on my list. They're not always givens if I am exhausted and/or depressed.
So far today I have taken the English Proficency exam I need to take for clas (and passed!), responded to two people in the Discussion forum, begun reading one of my reading assignments, read all of the introductory material for the course, and take a lot of breaks to play on the internet.

So far today I have...had coffee.

You're one step ahead of me, -t. So far, I have played with each cat.
Hey, people know who I am, right? I don't need to put the old user name in my tagline, do I?

If someone gets confused, they can ask, Lee. It's not like you've got an entirely new identity or anything.
I've only played with one cat, so I think we're even.
Hey, have fun at the game today! You're going to the park in SF, right? I believe there are fun things to see if you wander around the stadium a bit -the giant Coca Cola bottle, etc.
