The kittens are coming!

I'm thinking about apologizing for working my way into your unconscious. Or, as a former therapist of mine might say, and who does Roberta represent to you?

Did the pills go down smoothly? Hope so.

A witty, wise and wonderful New Yorker?



They DID go down well, thank you.

I bet they're much less stressed out, now that their human isn't sobby and hysterical anymore. As your various cats no doubt have discretely pointed out to you, humans are a weak, mentally inferior, and complicated life form. The responsibilities of a cat in caring for one can weigh heavily on it. ("It" being the cat, not the weak, inferior, complicated life form).

Good morning again!

on the upside in Canada - I remembered to stay home on my vacation day this time!

Did you mean "discreetly"?

Yay!

Good morning, Deb.
Things are definitely sounding on the up & in Adelaide. Very pleased to hear it!
Bet it felt terrific to wake this morning knowing you didn't have to prepare for yet another open!
Here's hoping that both V & S are in fine form this morning.
And I hope you can finally rest a bit?

Actually, I have people coming round for dinner, so need to clean up and cook.

Viola pissed on my bed last night!
Can't wait to get rid of this mattress and start fresh. Laundered everything at 2.00 am!

Woollies are out playing. Tomorrow I can rest.

Enormity of decision beginning to hit me!
Wot you up to?

U-oh. There goes my attempt at brilliance.

But friends won't be too put out if your home is not in "open" condition, yes?
Don't overdo the cleaning .... enjoy the cooking. And your friends. Relax!

Aw poor Viola.
And yeah, that mattress has to go!
But 2 am laundering. You poor thing.


Well you've had the first opportunity in quite a while to be able to think about it without too many distractions.
But you're still feeling it's the right decision to move, yes?

Me? Was going to cut down a large-ish overhanging gum tree branch from next door this morning (with the help of a friend), which has blocking out too much sun, but .... the back yard is a sodden bog (!) after days of continual rain ... I suspect we should put that off for a wee bit.
Have to rethink my plans for today to indoor ones, not sure what yet.
But things are pretty good here, thanks for asking.

That is all the proof I need. You're a meshugina extraordinaire. Like you don't have enough other stuff on your mind and your plate (so to speak). You're having guests for dinner.

Bunny, I salute you.

Lol! I invited the guests when all was relatively normal.....I only had a house to sell and the flu.

I think I am still good with the decision....when I thought the current place would fall through I began looking for alternatives in the same area.

It's hard to tell.....I am in kind of a lock down emotionally because it's been a difficult time and there is so much to do! Have booked movers....they will come and take everything the day before settlement and keep it overnight so that I can get this place cleaned on the morning of settlement.

I had sworn I would never move again when I moved in here......

Probably need to board the woollies so they aren't in the midst of al the turmoil.

wait! movers?

are things decided?

I know about that pledge to never move again, Deb.
Ha. Think I've made it about 3 times now!

Yes, I can understand that you'd feel emotionally drained after the past weeks .. it's been very full-on!

So what do you anticipate happens re buying?
Wait for the cooling off period to be over & then make an offer?
You know, if you have the energy & can stand the idea, it might be a good idea to continue monitoring houses for sale in the same area.
You never know, something you like just as much (& is less expensive) might just come up.

But the thought of moving again is horrible though, I know.
I had to board & then move my (then) three cats in the process of moving here.
I don't think I would have managed the last stages of packing & moving at all if two extremely generous friends hadn't chipped in & worked like the clappers at the 11th hour!
Phew, we just made it!

Well, subject to my buyer cooling off....he has until Monday....or a catastrophe....yes.


I need to get everything organized pretty fast.

I am already contracted to buy the house I have been talking about. My offer was accepted in June, subject to sale ofmy place....which appears to be sold...and finance...the beach place is being looked at by my financ company ASAP and hopefully finance will then be approved.

(how to keep him hot how to keep him hot how to keep him hot)

Lol. It's pretty unusual to cool off! But never count your chickens, I say.

Thank you for that, Deb.
I am now completely up to date!
I somehow lost track of the fact that you were actually contracted to buy the house (subject to the sale of your place) , so much has happened since then ....
