Thoughts

It's been pretty boring since I last blogged, the weather has been beautiful between tornados, so I've been getting some yard work done, killing weeds, cutting grass, planting flowers.

Harry & Betty, cont'd
These two are getting more and more interesting. Betty is just a little love bug, she likes to be held and cuddled and petted. She's still nervous, maybe because of Harry, maybe because she's stuck in this small room, but she yowls ALL THE TIME! I'm afraid my neighbors think I'm abusing her, she sits in the window and just howls. But when I come in the room, she cuddles with me, rubs against me, does some head-butting, but continues to yowl. It's wearing on me.

They play together a lot, and she can be pretty rough on the little guy. He'll squeal at her but they'll still tumble together on the floor.

Harry has learned to crawl out of his box! You'll hear this scratching and then a thump and he's fallen out. Problem is, he can't get back in, so he sleeps on the floor a lot.



This is to give you an idea of how little Harry is. Just a handful!

Now for the permanent residents:

Don't they look like an exclaimation point and a dot? Miss K loves to sleep on the pad to my footstool, she fits. Remy will lay anywhere to get a tummy rub. So peaceful. I'm trying to put Miss K on a diet, she's a little porker. She's eating 1/2 c of dry IAMS hairball Light (as I call it) daily, but it's not helping. She needs more exercise. I attempted to put a harness on her to start taking her for a walk, but I found I need to get a larger harness, one for a 15lb dog, the one I have is too small. She was laying in on my bed yesterday, napping on the pillows. Since it was a nice day, I felt she should be out on the porch enjoying the sun. So I picked her up and took her outside. Maybe that's why she's so fat!

Job Hunt
Got some feedback from a recruiter, the hiring manager wanted someone 'more technical'. Don't know what they mean about that, I was a programmer for over 20 years. Could it be age discrimmination? I'll never know.

Irony
My Economic Stimulus check is going to pay for my first installment of COBRA insurance. Yes, I'm submitting that the the Vent in the AJC.

Hell Is Freezing Over
Bob Barr announced yesterday that he's running for president. I may vote for him. Yes, it's in writing, it's being published on the web for the world to see. I couldn't stand the man when he 'represented' me when I lived in Cobb County, but since he's jumped ship to the Libertarians, I'm liking more and more what he's saying. Either I'm getting older, or Bob Barr just got smarter!

More to come...
As things happen, I'll be posting. Thanks for taking the time to read. You're opinions are welcome but if you have to start calling me names, don't bother, I won't read them. As my Dad says 'Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.'
