Good luck with the new job, dear, and see you in six weeks... :-)

Emmett got a six-week temp job in Santa Clara county, of the 9-5 variety. My work is more often noon-8pm, so we'll be seeing each other mostly in bed and on weekends during February. I'm ecstatic that he has the job - between that and some other potential paid projects, finances are looking slightly more optimistic. Still mostly on a tight budget, but he *is* gonna take me out to dinner this weekend to celebrate :-) Purrr...

Speaking of purrs, the Preia-cat got her one remaining stitch taken out at the vet's today (she'd chewed out the others) and was pronounced healed. Major relief. It was a far easier appointment, for her and for me, than the last one - we were there no more than 5 minutes, and I was able to distract her with a small tupperware of kitty crack sour cream while the vet did what she needed to. I'm so happy to have her home again! And the vet says we can begin taking her out for walks again - we have a leash and harness and she seems to get into exploring once she gets past the initial nervousness.

Whew...
