Twice in the past week, I’ve caught Simon and Percival colluding; I sense the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The first time resulted in an unholy mess. Simon had left half of his yogurt from lunch, and I hadn’t had a chance to put it back in the fridge. Percival got at the yogurt on […]

I’ll blog later today or tomorrow about Simon, but for now I have a new Tristan update. He’s still in the kitty hospital, and I still miss him a whole bunch. With luck, he’ll come home tonight. I went to see him yesterday about noon, and to my pleasant surprise he had already had his […]
I just came back from the hospital’s visiting hours, and Tristan is doing well. He purred quite a bit and even ate a little of his prescription food for me. Today his creatine and BUN levels are both normal, so his kidney function was clearly only temporarily and mildly affected by the blockage. Today they […]
Hello Everyone, Please keep my favorite kitten Tristan in your thoughts. (Percival is my favorite cat in case you were wondering…) He’s at the veterinary hospital right now, and he’s likely to be there for 2-3 days, as he has a urinary blockage that requires catheterization, IV fluids, and close monitoring. Thankfully, we caught things […]
Not to worry, I’m not getting political on you. Inappropriate, likely, but not political. A month ago, I was pretty sure that Matt’s “ghost baby” scenarios were as inappropriate an example of humor as you were going to get around here. Then I began joking about ghost baby myself and had to dial down my […]
I wasn’t actually planning to celebrate Boxing Day, of course, but I did plan to have some fun. My Wednesday sitter called to cancel Tuesday night, which meant that after many busy days preparing for or celebrating holidays, today I was going to cancel my attic-cleaning project, sit back, and enjoy some down-time with Simon. […]
It’s a bit after 11:00 p.m.., and I just wrapped my second Christmas Eve. Simon is asleep after having a very busy day, Matt is downstairs watching Monty Python videos (my present to him) after a sort-of busy day, and the cats are napping after having a not very busy at all day. It’s good […]
We got the exciting word that friends Kelley and Kaya welcomed their first child, a son named Thaylo William, in the wee hours of the morning of the twenty-second. Later today, we got more of the scoop. The short version is that Kelley was 42 weeks and 3 days pregnant, kiddo had no intention of […]
In his tender fourteen months, Simon has thus far had only one true love. Her name was Stephanie, she was a flight attendant on our flight to San Francisco last May, and despite his many, many crushes since then, no one has quite lived up to her or received the same intensity of affection before […]
In the nicest of all ways, I’m being replaced as Simon’s favorite person. It is very clear to me—to be more specific, Simon is making it extremely clear to me—that his heart belongs to Grandma and Bubbie. I know this because on Sunday, when my mom dropped by with mandel bread for us all, Simon […]
