felis_lupusZyrtec (or its generic equivalent) is a Wonder Drug. I spent a full day and night at J's parents, with three very loving snuggly kitties, and was hardly congested by the time we had to leave. We can has kitteh! (once we're in a proper place, of course...) The stuff takes a bit to kick in, so I just have to remember to take it an hour or so (just to be sure) before being exposed to long-term kittehness.
Abigail is a dear little thing, belonging to his sister. Not one to be held or snuggle in a lap, she will talk to you, play chase, play chew-on-your-hands or attack-your-ankles-when-walking-by, but was never rough... Aimee (who was sorely missed...) was much, much more nibbly. It took till I saw Abbi in the sunlight to realize that she had one green eye, one blue. Precious. :) The little gray curls on the top of her head are delightful...
We still have the Subaru, for the moment... Gas mileage appears to be creeping southward, but we made it in time for Saturday dinner. Delivered Christmas gifts, saw Grandpa C on Sunday; he was very happy for the visit. Good to see him and Grandma.
J's parents collect glass. Specifically Portland glass (made right heyah, in Maine, in the early 1900s), and Depression Glass, green and pink flavors. They've got a LOT. Complete sets of some. And they USE it. Fantastic. That's what it was made for, not to sit in a cabinet! I had a minor crisis searching for a cereal bowl on Sunday morning, and all I was finding was this beautiful green glass in the cabinets... that's what it's for. I had Special K circa 1929. Delicious. :)
