This is just a quick hello and howdy to everyone. I am in the middle of a super busy week. My beloved co-worker Jess is away for two whole weeks. I miss her so much and not just because she helps me fix my mistakes before my boss notices!! I am covering her shifts as well as doing my own and man, that girl puts in some hours! Especially when some weeks, I only work two or three days. My poor feet are killing me! And I need some extra hours in the day to sleep. Roll on the weekend!!!
Millie the cat is doing pretty darn well. I can’t believe I’ve only had her since Friday. She’s starting to settle in. This is where she sat pretty much all evening. She makes me laugh, she probably thought she was so brave, sitting outside my room. She’s *in* the house… but only a step from my bedroom :)
She does have quite a few items in the ‘cons’ list though.
#1 She doesn’t really like to cuddle. What is the point of a cat unless she wants to snuggle?!?! I can usually force a cuddle for about five minutes and there is purring, but it’s just not the same.
#2 She really, really, really wants to go outside. And that’s not going to happen for so many reasons. Mainly because I live opposite a train station and near a bunch of busy roads. And because she’ll probably try and go back to her old house. So I have to put up with her crying.
#3 She learned how to open the security screen on my window. She did it accidentally but I swear I saw a gleam in her eye as she realised how close she was to freedom.
Pros
#1 I like cats. Millie is a cat.
#2 She has sassy miaows and talks a lot to me. I like talking to her, it makes a change from talking to myself.
#3 Despite the earlier photo, she’s been so brave and awesome about exploring the house. This morning, she brazenly walked out to the kitchen and was only a teensy bit scared when the dogs barked at her.
I have a sort of fun weekend planned but am mostly excited about sleep!
