Home.

Yup. Home.

Have bed, and alarm clocks that work. Have generator (or will, once we get it back from Iain), for when the power goes out, so the alarm clocks will still work. Have new fridge, which has some food in it. Have stove, which makes a lovely pot of boiling water, which turns into tea.

Have internet, cable, and phone. Do not yet have my computer. Perhaps this week, and then I can actually post photos, read comics, and catch up on my email for real.

Have kitties, kitties that are not sequestering themselves in their room quite so much anymore. They both went exploring last night for quite a while, not as scared of the big open spaces. Lancelot made it all the way up the stairs tonight. The little baby gate, though closed, did not keep him out for long... around and through the railing, and into what is currently our bedroom. I have since shut the door, since that will eventually be the guestroom, and I don't want my brother and his girlfriend to die of OMG KAT ALLERGY when they come visit.

I appear to not be allergic to my cats. Haven't taken Zyrtec in 3 days, am still fine when I'm aroudn them. This makes me So Happy. I'm a little confused, but am not going to question it.

Pictures, of kitties and house, to be up soon...

Oh yes, K&Q Rapier Champions was last weekend. Fun times. Did as well as I expected to, not as well as I'd hoped, but still had lots of fun. Saw my dear friend nomadmwe get a well deserved recognition as Queen's Champion. Spiffy fencing goes a long way. Congrats, hunny. :)

Kittehs!

More photos coming, I promise. I took a lot. :) Here are the boys, starting to settle in to Home. Getting more adventurous, wanting to explore the house (especially at 1:30 AM, when it appears the door didn't quite latch when I shut it last night... minor trauma, but everybody's OK now...), and learning to appreciate snuggles.


Galahad, socked out and drooling in my lap...


Lancelot, watchful in the hallway. From the first time he really got out and explored. There's a bit on his side that might look nasty, but it's not... just a shaved spot from where the vets had to put a pain patch from the dental work. Galahad's got one too, but he's so fluffy it's more hidden... we need to trim the fur there, though, so it doesn't turn into a mat.
