My most recent post on this blog was 17 months ago today. It vaguely referenced some recent goings on and also teased upcoming changes. Two of those items deserve followup:
New furry family members (one who will be permanent and two who are temporary)
The new family member is our cat Barnacle, and there is so much I can say about him. And I will in detail, eventually. Truly, he was a heart transplant for us after losing BuddyCat. And then there is the whole ordeal (a few months later) and adventure of his broken leg and recovery. That could be its own blog, really. And… probably should be based on how much we learned. I will fill in here eventually.
The “temporary” ones were his litter brothers (Curly and Starfish), who we fostered until finding a home for them. They’re doing great. Again, there could be a lot of follow-up, and probably will be.
A “thinking about it” becoming “getting a plan underway” toward moving somewhere that we can have more space and more quiet
That happened, too. We moved from West Seattle to the west side of Puget Sound, and have been residents of Kitsap County for more than a year. Zero regrets about the move. And, as with Barnacle, numerous untold tales about it all. I’ll work on the backfill.
Otherwise, in the time since that last post:
- I’ve been through the beginning and ending of a one-year contract job. Which means, oh joy of joys, I am on the jobsearch again.
- We’ve added another feline family member, Asta. She’s Barnacle’s half-sister: same mom, almost certainly a different dad.
- There’s more. It’ll come.
