After a long, sometiems agonizing, sometimes scenic drive Saturday morning, I (along with some car-mates) ended up in St. Marys, Ontario to attend the wedding of some friends. It’s strange sometimes to think about people I know getting married, people younger than I getting married, in part because it’s not something I can see myself doing. At least not now, at this point in my life. There’s too much else I think is more important right now.
It was beautiful day, an incredible, touching ceremony, and at the same time, completely exhausting (we drove back Saturday night as well….arriving home around 4 am, 22 hours from when we left the previous day). My bed has never looked so comfortable.
Connor and Flora went back this afternoon. Originally, itwas supposed to be Connor and Lewis, but Lewis has a weepy eye and needs a few more days. Flora is super-independent, so she’ll do fine. She was ready to go back. Connor….well, he’ll settle in anywhere, the little monster. I’m going to miss them both a bunch. So will the rest of the connor-flora fan club, I think. I have selfishly been wanting to keep them, but it didn’t feel right to keep them from potentially finding a family this weekend. They’re too deserving of it.
So, if you’re interested in some gorgeous fawn/orange tabby kitties, you can see them online here at the adoptables site for the ottawa humane society (check them out under the two-month-old age category – they probably won’t be online until saturday, though). Both of them would be great pets, and better yet, friends – so well-adjusted, sweet and into being loved.
bye, babies. xo
We discovered last night that flora is a fan of making fiends. And of sitting in your purse when it looks like it might not be going anywhere. Lana snapped this lovely photo from my front porch last night.
It was also discovered that Lewis is quite the lap cat. Loooooooves the petting.
On the ipod this week:
Neutral Milk Hotel, Appleseed Cast, Neko Case, Pheonix, Remy Zero, Vincent Gallo, Math & Physics Club, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Most Serene Republic, and Koufax
Things that are making me happy:
Kittens. Sleeping in. Drinking wine. Eating fresh berries with vanilla ice cream. Good music. Sharing. Surprise visits. Cool breeze in my windows at night. Adobe Illustrator. Pink nail polish. Getting out my fancy clothes.
Things that are grating:
Fuzzy bugs. Newton’s nose kisses. Things that don’t work like they should. Working instead of playing. Pigeons on my bedroom roof. 12 hours of road-trip in less than 24. Resentment.
