Things (not Victorian)

So. Lots going on in the past month. Tons, really. My sister came, Andy and I went to Florida for our anniversary, we moved, I started training, and I'm in the process of getting two lovely cats from Ravi. Also a cappella drama, which will not be covered here at all.

I'm not even going to try to cover everything...while I hope to update more frequently now that we have DSL in the apartment (thought it doesn't actually work on my computer yet), it's not possible to get everything that's happened since my last post. Mostly I'm posting because Andy's been hounding me to do so ever since we got the internet working.

Things are going well. The apartment is coming together great; the only significant piece of furniture still missing is an island for the kitchen. It's much smaller than my old one, and there's virtually no counter space. We're planning to put the island against the wall and keep pots in it...thrilling, I know. The kitchen's nice though - recently refinished, two windows, a stove that's not completely crooked.

I brought the first of our two cats home tonight. Polo was a bit too distraught to make the journey; apparently bathing, brushing, having his snarls buzzed off and the sight of the pet taxi were too much for him, and so we thought it would be good to give him another night. But I brought Penny home with me, and she's doing as well as can be expected considering she's moved from a huge, well-decorated modern home into our two-bedroom. She hisses when approached too fast, but she's not hiding in a closet either. I know from my year of rehearsals at Ravi's that she's really a very sweet cat...basically self-petting if you leave any limbs hanging over your seat. She looks like a normal-sized Aiko (if you know Aiko), and it makes me happy to have a cat in the house. I've wanted one for ages.

School...well, subject for another time. But it's gonna be a big semester.
