The topic: So, today

----------------------------------------------

Brian and his bro left early this am heading to Ranchita, to empty the truck that they filled last week, with many of Brian’s tools and equipment he used back in his shop. Today, I am attempting to straighten up the extra room, so that I’ll be able to move around in there again.

I’ve probably got over 100 cds I need to put back up (took them down to copy onto the computer so I could put the tunes in my MP3 players) and some boxes of stuff I’ve gotten over the past year or so from Woot or wherever.  Now that the bags that were full of things from the old Escape are now in the new Escape, I’ve got a little more room to work with. 

Ah, isn’t compressing your possessions fun?

One of the things I found in there was an old JVC camcorder, one that records onto the mini tapes.  I quit using it because there was a problem with it.  Well, I played with it a little and the video it takes is fine, it just doesn’t play back.  Ruins the recording when it does.  I’ve run the tape cleaning head multiple times, but it’s not working.  But the tapes play back fine on the Canon Elura, so as long as I remember (note to self, make a label for the JVc camcorder to not play back on it) to not play back on the JVC and when capturing is needed to do it via the Canon, I should be okay.

Anyway, enough of a break, back to work.  It might sound like a sucky job, but I think it will be fun, finding things I forgot I had.  I love doing that.  *lol*

The topic: We’re taking in another kitty

----------------------------------------------

I’ll be getting him Monday. 

Vet’s office called yesterday, one of their clients called, she had taken in a cat from a friend who was moving to Texas.  But the cat or her dogs are having some issues and are not getting along.

The cat is seventeen years old. Black. Male, neutered.  Declawed (possibly four paw). May be blind in one eye.  Rescues won’t take him and because of his age, you know damn well the shelters would put him down.

WTF?  What kind of person walks away from a pet who’s been a family member for seventeen fricking years! 

I just felt so bad for this old guy. When Brian got home, I asked him how soft hearted he was feeling. And I told him.

He’s an elderly cat, probably has four years at most.  When we brought Miss and Bobby in, there wasn’t much of a problem with the other cats.  Being mature and all.

So, Brian said “whatever you want to do”.

Brian will need to get the big crate down and we’ll set it up in the family room.  I don’t want this guy wandering around his first week or so here without me right behind him.

And being in the crate will help acclimate him to this house, it’s sounds and smells and the other cats.

You know, sometimes I just hate people.

I called the vet’s office and told Alicia that we’ll take him, we’ll pick him up Monday. She said “do you want him today?”  No, we’ve got a busy weekend planned.  Best to bring him in when I’ll be here most of the day.
