Scenes from packing
Today I got rid of an old dresser in my closet. I think I've had it since the '80's. Hermione was very curious as I took the drawers out.
Something I learned this week - bubble wrap comes in pin...
My red dress
Once upon a time, the Bloggess wore a red dress and felt magical. She sent it forth to travel the globe, to bring joy to every woman who wears it.
Now, she's sending out more dresses. And encouraging us to reach into our closets and share our red dresses. They don't even have to be red. They just need to make a woman feel special when she wears it. And also, they should be photographed wearing it. Many photographers are offering their services for...

Where did my kitten go?
Look at how long Hermione is now!
Moving preparations continue. I'm trying to hire a petsitter to move the cats, while I stay here and deal with moving. I want the cats to be safe, and to be out of the movers' way (and I'm sure they want that to...

Star Wars - Fans Pay Tribute
This is the result of a three year project - fans recreated Star Wars: A New Hope, 15 seconds at a time. The results were stitched into the movie below.
The creativity that went into this is amazing. There are so many different kinds of animation. There are child actors. There are house pets as actors. There are Lego and Pez dispensers and sock puppets.
Some people pay careful, detail-oriented homage. Some went for the fromage. Some wore Star Trek uniforms. It's amazing...

I need to face facts. Hermione is going to be a fluffy cat. After all of Comet's matting problems, I swore I'd never have another long-haired cat again.
I'll just start brushing her regularly. Also, how cute is she? I love how she curls her paws when she sleeps.
She continues to be bouncy and the picture of good health. She must think dark thoughts about the fellow cat lover who gave me an invaluable tip about giving liquid medication - lift...

Reunited and it feels so good
Hermione is all bouncy-bouncy and lovey-dovey and acts like she wasn't sick. She thinks I should stop giving her the antacid medication. I think we'll continue with it as directed, even though it is No Fun for either of ...

Happy endings
Poor Charlie. He saw the vomit in the bathroom when I took Hermione away. He was upset when I came home without her. He pined for his little buddy.
He was right there to greet Hermione when I brought her home. He keeps seeking her out and licking her head. He's freaking adorable.
The vet I spoke with today luuuuuurves Hermione. He described himself as a big Harry Potter geek. He said she was his favourite patient today and he'd totally take her...

In all of the sick kitten drama I forgot to post this here. It's an alstromeria and I was worried that Hermione might have nibbled on it. So far, her blood tests indicate she didn't ingest a toxic flower...
Good news!
Another vet called this morning and said that Hermione is eating very well now, and she can come home this afternoon! He's going to do one more round of blood tests to confirm that her organs are working fine and she probably didn't nibble on the bouquet. The bouquet in question is up high, but I'm still going to throw it out and rethink my habit of buying myself fresh flowers. Or upgrade to roses.
The vet also complimented Hermione's colouring...

My baby
I took Hermione to the emergency vet at 1 am, because she'd vomited three times yesterday, and wasn't interested in food. She may have eaten part of a flower - a lily or Alstromeria or carnation, based on what was in a bouquet. Right now, her bloodwork does not indicate the kind of kidney damage the vet would expect to see if she had eaten a poison plant.
Her white blood cell count is high. After two x-rays, the vet isn't convinced Hermione has...

Packing, Day One.
The cats are freaked out by my sorting through items, placing them in boxes or in a garbage bag. None of them have moved with me before, they don't know what it mean...

I love her.
Hermione is growing so fast!
But she is still a kitten.
And a mighty huntress!

Guess who turned five months old today?
I remember when she could easily fit in my camera bag.
I didn't try to replicate the shot - I just put a treat inside of the bag. :-)
She's got big changes coming up - the snip-snip on February 1, then a move to a bigger hom...

Free Will Astrology
"That in a person which cannot be domesticated is not his evil but his goodness," said the writer Antonio Porchia. I invite you to keep that challenging thought close to your heart in the coming days, Pisces. In my astrological opinion, it is an excellent moment to tune in to your wildest goodness -- to describe it to yourself, to cherish it as the great treasure it is, to foster it and celebrate it and express it like a spring river overflowing its banks.
Pisc...

Worse for Wear
The book is dry now, after the mishaps of Sunday night.
It took over two rolls of paper towels and the fan in the background to get it like this.
Net step - keep something heavy on it for the next couple of days. It's a good book, I want to finish ...

Planning ahead
In February, I'll be moving into a townhouse, the first home I've owned. Farewell to renting!
I've been decorating the townhouse in my mind. Yesterday, I went to Ikea for more inspiration. I don't intend to use Ikea for everything, but they have great organizational ideas, and some of the model rooms have colour palettes that I like.
By no means do I plan on redecorating the whole house at once. I'll have condo fees and more utilities to work into...
Zoo pictures
The ruptured disc/pinched nerve took a lot of things from me. Including my stamina, and my ability to carry a heavy camera around. Consequently, my zoo membership expired because I was no longer up to carrying around the Jedi camera. And only the Jedi camera would do.
Just after Christmas, I returned to the zoo, renewed my membership, and took pictures!

The Rocky Mountain goats don't normally get this close to the viewers.
