I forgot to mention that they're both females. The black one is called Bastet, and the grey one is called Katya. They lie around the house most of the time but occasionally chase each other here and there.

My coworker is moving to Ireland to get her Ph.D. in Women's Studies (Yay!), but she doesn't feel like she can take her two older cats with her. They're around 11 years old and both short haired. One is grey, and the other is black. Both have their front paws declawed. They are inside only cats and need to remain so ( Read more... )

Tom and I had a great time in Louisiana. The crawfish boil was so much fun and a lot more festive and fancy than I ever thought a crawfish boil could be. I feel so lucky to have not only Tom in my life but also his wonderful family. They have always treated me kindly and warmly and have made me feel completely accepted.

I tried to make an appointment for the doctor today, but they said she ( Read more... )

I had a surprise birthday party for Tom on Friday. It was so much fun, and Tom was totally surprised. We had a bit of an untraditional surprise party. Instead of simply turning on the lights and yelling "surprise," we decided to confuse him first. So when he walked into the dark room, all he could see was a woman wearing a crazy hat and some ( Read more... )

The worst part about having cold sores is that I can't give Tom any kisses. We're also very careful about hugging. I don't lean my head or face on any part of him now. When we're in bed sleeping, we usually wrap our arms around each other. But now because of the cold sores, we have to wrap our legs and feet around each other instead. Feet and ( Read more... )
