Location, Location, Location

 2024!  Woo Hoo!  I am open to all positive aspects that a come with a new year.

I haven't updated in awhile because of where I had my computer set up.  It was set up on a piece of furniture called a Secretary, in a corner, with a small space between the desk and the wall, because I needed just a little elbow room...it was that small.

Greg and Brad thought I would enjoy it if they both played in the small space between the wall and the desk, where all the cords were jangled.  Every time.  They did not think this was the best place in the world to play, unless I was sitting at the desk. 

They were wrong, I did not enjoy it.  At all.  So I pushed the desk up against the wall, and that was that.  

Yesterday I moved my monitor, keyboard and mouse to a table closer to where I could actually get to it, the wires are hidden, and while they have been trying to entertain me while I "work," there aren't any crannys or wires for the little bitches to get snarled up in.  

Yes, I called them the b-word.  

Brad is the age that Greg was when he came to live here.  He's growing like crazy, a sleek black panther.  He's so chill most of the time and he's one of those cats that go limp when picked up and purrs all the time.  

Greg is Greg.  He's bossy, picky, and demanding.  He will grace me with a snuggle and purr a couple times a day.   

They're best buds now.


I started getting up at 6:30 am right before the time change.  I was sleeping until 8, but I really enjoy getting up early, getting things done so I can have the day to create. It's 9:53 am right now and I've already done my morning chores, and here I am. 

 I was treated to this sunrise one morning I just happened to open my front door.  No filter, and you can only imagine how it looked for real.  


This was my Christmas tree this year.  That's Brad with the jingle bell collar I made for Karma Carmella way back when, I took the tree down the next day because I believe Brad took a nibble off the tree...he was sick a couple times that morning, and besides, I had a feeling there was something about that tree anyway. 
 
I'd love to have the Christmas Tree that me and the kids always used, but it's being held hostage in the storage room in the home of a very bitter man.  Maybe someday, but it's not worth facing the devil in my world to get it back.  

Does this bring back any memories?  I love opening the cannister and seeing this.  I guess you could say this sparks joy for me.  


I've been dabbling in reselling some items.  Mostly on Mercari and FB Marketplace.  Mostly household items, and I sold this statue that I had given as a gift to same bitter man.  He sent this back instead of my rhino, but again, maybe someday...but this statue I sold for cheap because I didn't want to see it every time I walked up to "my" porch.  
 

It may sound silly to some, but if you know you know, and you'll get it.  

So, probably more blogging coming, probably...I have lots of thoughts and my keyboard is right here.

Expanding

 My life expanded by one last weekend.  Greg so needed someone to play with.


This is Brad
He is 11 weeks old.

No problems at meal time.

Big Boy Brad

I really thought I would be enough for Greg, but he clearly needed someone to play with.  Luckily my niece is the pet finder of the family.  All I had to do was tell her what I wanted that morning, and I was home with Brad by 6 pm that same day!  She's amazing!
 
She's 21 years old now.  

The first night was hard for me.  My brain knew that Greg needed to do his cat thing when introducing a new cat in the family.  My heart, however, didn't want him to be too "rough."  

My sis and I chatted a bit about it, and by the next day, Big Boy Brad was stalking Greg, and Greg was just chill laying there twitching his tail.  He knows, he's cool with it. 

There are no more plans for expansion around here, unless...well, you never know what's going to happen on any given day.  I mean, if a sweet little Chihuahua needed a home...

Play Nice!  xxoo
