Great work, Brenda & askye!!!

Thanks for sharing Hemingway House news, Zen. I've been worried about those kitties.

askye, that's excellent!

Well done, askye!

That's amazing, askye. Good for you.

And yes, thanks for reporting on the Hemingway cats, as well as the House itself.

And right now I'm at a family birthday party for M's sister and neice. A lot of people. A lot of new people but I keep finding a quiet space for me

Brava, askye! That's how growth happens, exactly as you described.

Congrats to askye and Brenda!

New fosters have landed. Yes, I have two this week. And both are small dogs. I have never been a fan of the little dogs, especially the ones who are so nervous they look like they are going to shake out of their own skins.

Well, these two are just big enough that I figured I'd be ok with having them for a week. Jessy is 8 months old and Crowley (love the name) is 4 months old. Crowley stole my heart when I first met him and my gut told me he was going to be my foster fail. He is so adorable. But now that I have them home, Jessy is making a case for herself. She is already nestled under my desk after wanting all the loves. Crowley is much more into chewing on the hoof he snagged out of Jack's toy box.

Will have to see how the week goes. They have yet to meet Noodle or Jack. Jack will be here tomorrow and who knows when Noodle will decided to see who these new creatures are.

I posted earlier about my professor living in Tampa Bay. He just posted provisional grades for this week's assignments that will be updated when he is able to actually grade our work. Not sure how that is going to work, but based on the provisional grades, I have a solid A.

Grades aren't due until Wednesday, so I'm not quite sure how this is going to work. If he can grade our discussion and final paper, before Wednesday, he can update the grade. If he can't, I don't know what happens with the provisional grade.

Eh, I'm just going to finish this paper and get it turned in.

I hope it works out Suzi. With the grades and the foster pups meting Noodle and Jack.

So I was sleep deprived most of the day (this happens when E sleeps over) and I went to the combo birthday party and also I guess it was kind of like a farewell party for M's niece who is leaving for Air Force bootcamp next week. She also got engaged but this wasn't really an engagement party. I have no idea how many people were there it was kind of hard for me to keep track but at one point ther were about 15 adults and a dozen kids. Not all in the same room and some weren't there the whole time but he has a brother and a sister and 6 nieces and nephews. He and his family are much more outgoing than mine too. Everyone was nice but I had to find some quiet places a few times. M was really cool with it and checked in.

And in Hurricane news most of the schools around here except our county are closed. Don't know if they will change their mind but the forecast is for strong wind gusts and rain tomorrow and Tuesday
