Farewell Kittens!


This morning we took Kiki and Kitnip back to the SPCA for spaying & adopting out. It was hard to let them go after all the stress and trauma we went through, but I know they will both find good homes. Pansy and Marcy did.

Do The Limbo

For a number of reasons, mostly related to Scott being job hunting and us looking at moving apartments, I’m feeling very stuck in limbo right now. And it’s not a lot of fun. So since I can’t do much of anything related to my own work until Scott’s job hunt concludes, I made some changes in my fall plans instead.

I registered for fall classes back in April, but last week, as the deadline for fall registration wound down, I switched from an Ethics class to one on Manegerial Accounting. I figured that given how difficult I find memorizing all the details of accounting rules, it would be better to get all my accounting course requirements out of the way while I still retained some of what I’ve learned in the last 2 semesters.

They’re both required courses, so it’s really just a matter of what order I take them in. I may not know where we’ll be living this fall, but at least I feel like I have one thing under control and well-planned.

Oh, my friend did not get laid off. And more foster pix will be coming soon.

Good Talking Points

By way of the DNC Blog

Democrats
Believe capturing the person primarily responsible for the attack should be a top priority.

Republicans
It’s been four years, and Osama bin Laden is still free, even though Bush’s CIA chief says he knows where he is.

Democrats
Investigate the intelligence failures that led to 9/11.

Republicans
Do everything in their power to block the 9/11 Commission from doing its work.

Democrats
Propose creating the Department of Homeland Security.

Republicans
Push tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

Democrats
Believe we should have stayed the course in Afghanistan, not allowing the Taliban to resurge, the warlords to take power, and the opium trade to skyrocket.

Republicans
Ignore Afghanistan as the situation worsens.

Democrats
Believe that we should be honest with our troops about the reasons we go to war, give them everything they need to be safe, and make sure we go in with an exit plan.

Republicans
Manipulate intelligence to trump up reasons to go to war, don’t give our troops the support they need, constantly mislead the public about the direction the war is going, and fail to make an exit plan.

Friday Kitten Blogging

Moblog edition.

The remaining fosters are thriving and in the middle of a growth spurt. Kiki may even be ready to go back to the SPCA in less than a week, she’s gaining weight so fast. Kitnip’s health is not 100% but she seems to be recovering, albeit more slowly than we would like.
