Look at Sara, all fancy posting pictures!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sara, what a pretty cat. He reminds me a little of my old cat, Anne. (I still miss her)

My guys are pretty much ignoring him. They watch him warily when he's exploring, but are currently sprawled on the floor, Mister Kitty sleeping and Devi occasionally glancing his way. He's the one hissing when they get too close....which they ignore.
Ah, such a setup for heartbreak.
At least I know they won't go ballistic.

Hey, congrats Burrell! And welcome to the new GG niece!

Thank you all for the well wishes.
It will be Thanksgiving when we finally get to meet one another. I'll have camera ready, though! Now I can buy all sorts of amazing girly gifts. I think Amelia needs a Gothic Charm School item, too.

ita, I know this is belated, but you left your last job on really good terms, yes? Is it possible you could get permission to use a redacted document? If they said it was OK that takes care of the ethical issues. And even if it is too late for this job, it might be a good thing to have.

Fingers crossed: she just came by to hold the cat for an hour or so. I don't know that I'll see him again, but she said "she just wanted to hold him." He's next door. I told him she can visit anytime. I *think* this is the grandniece in question. No telling.

How old is this grandneice, sara? Maybe you need to talk to Miss Louise (that's it, right?) and say you're getting attached already, and would just like to know what's what.

Already told her. The g-niece is probably 20s/30s. I'm trying to be high principled about this; I knew it could happen.
eta: but not high enough to avoid whining.
And Miss Louise doesn't have a lot of sway over those generations. Her great-grandkids are ok, the others...well, they are part of the reason I really hope she does move into a nursing home. She was in the hospital on Saturday. Stress. They take advantage of her.
Honestly, as much as I love her and think she means well, I think it took raising kids and then grandkids for her to get it closer to right. N (great g-k) is the first who hasn't been a teen parent and who actively is trying to avoid that route. S..well, he was a crack baby, and is emotionally younger than his actual age. But he's doing...ok. Not great, but he seems to be staying out of trouble so far. I don't know what the future hold for him.
