Lots of ~ma, Strix. I don't know anything about jobs in that area, but I can point you to a really cute bookstore that claims to be the oldest bookstore in the country, a bunch of good restaurants, and a vegan festival each summer.

Good, hard work , Mac and msbelle!

Strix, I know Maria will have lots of local info. Ride the wave of your emotions. You're getting out from under the house. That also means you get to explore what will work best for the whole family, and that includes you. It's huge and terrifying even if it was your dream location. Have the feelings.

Stoner!Loki tried to blow up the house. Gas was probably on for 5 minutes before I came downstairs. Know it was him because Pumpkin isn't heavy enough and at the time, he couldn't make it to the counter.... I love having to open the windows in this heat & muggy.

Now he's cleaning off the fridge. Eyes are still a bit bleary.

Bad Stoner!Loki, go stare at a fan or something!

Strix, what sarameg said! Every word.

edit because trix is not Strix

Loki! No blowing up the house!

Lucy just escaped their hutch. She seemed very surprised to find herself with that much freedom and hid under the piano bench. Didn't like it much when I picked her up, though.

I say Lucy just because whichever one just did something bold gets called Lucy. I can't tell them apart. I should probably put more effort into that.

Lots of ~ma, Strix! That will be hard, but I hope it works out well for you (singular you as well as plural)

Collar?

I just noticed poor Loki has a shaved notch in his tail. Pumpkin didn't get that treatment. I know they had a harder time drawing blood last time, I guess the just went direct this time.

Huh, I suppose they might be okay with collars. The cats aren't but it's worth a try with the rabbits.

I'm sorry about moving stress, Strix. This reminds me, though, my former org's outplacement services guy looked over my resume (which you put together for me), and said it was basically perfect. And he's seen hundreds of resumes. So, you know, professional kudos!

I put a collar on Pumpkin because it made her easier to locate. Loki probably would be ok with one, he's ok with the harness. But he doesn't need one. I'm generally not pro-collar, but The Pumpk looks and sounds so dashing in her black with gothic-y glow in the dark pattern and bell.

Are they white rabbits? Give Lucy a red stripe on her back with food dye! She'll be fabulous.
