Rory and Siobhan, my catten babies, are getting so big! Especially Rory, who's looking like he's gonna be a classic ginger moose once he hits full growth. I'm pretty sure Siobhan is as big as she's gonna get...
YES I HAVE CATTENS!!!! Rory (a flame-point orange-hearted boyo) and Siobhan (a bold, protective tabby girlie) arrived at my humble abode today, just before the city declared a snow emergency XD They are really scared, as can well be expected -- a new place, with new smells, bigger than any indoor place they've ever been, with a person they've only met once... I'd be scared too! But I've been keeping calm and quiet, only talking to them occasionally to get them used to the sound of my voice, and to their names. I know it's going to take some time before they relax and start exploring and trusting me. <3
Pictures to follow, once they have settled a bit more.... ^__^
...I completely forgot to keep y'all updated on my progress, didn't I....
I made it safely across the country, dodging a few weather-related bullets along the way, and am now ensconced in my cozy little lair, which I have dubbed the Netherworld cause my mundane decorating sense is whimsygoth goblincore crone XD The movers just left after delivering the last of my worldly possessions, and the place looks a disaster, but it's HERE and I have MISSED IT XD It should take a few days to organize everything, including the stuff in the closet -- after that I shall take pictures for you.
ALSO, I am getting KITTENS! A brother and sister, about 9-10 months old, trapped as ferals last year and socialized with a foster mum (who's a terrific lady). I meet them on Friday, and hopefully move them in over the weekend!
Anyway, that's it for now I think. Lots of mundane stuff, but one must take care of that before one can play, right? Off to make breakfast finally....
Well, my friends, it's officially official -- I am relocating at the end of January from the dry desert climes of the Barony of Starkhafn (Las Vegas), Kingdom of Caid, to the snow-covered reaches of the Barony of Nordskogen (Minneapolis), Kingdom of Northshield. The reasons are numerous, not the least of which being I don't get along with the summer heat here any longer cause I'm old and broken. Another big reason is financial -- it's just overall less expensive in Minneapolis. Plus I have friends there, and a solid support system.
Moving date is 27 January, looking to arrive in Minneapolis the 30th or 31, depending on weather and road conditions and whatnot. This ain't my first transcontinental rodeo, not by a long shot, as those who have known me for awhile understand. XD I have an apartment lined up right in the heart of the city, so I'm pretty well set. ^__^ I will totally keep everyone updated as the move progresses so no-one worries about me. <3
I'm really looking forward to getting the hell on with my life.
