Babe
Originally uploaded by gshower7
Now that I've had a moment or three to sit and not pack/clean/organize, last weekend was wonderful. Got in a bit later than planned on Friday night, woke up a bit earlier than I'd hoped to on Saturday, but otherwise was a relaxing weekend.

Visited with Grandma and Grandpa C, met Grandma's new kitty Babe, who is only 6 months old, and ENORMOUS. At least 14 pounds, and not done growing. One big smooshy kitty, double-pawed, and mellow as anything. He's lovely. I want one. Or two. (and we can have them now! Soon....) We think he's part Tonkinese, and definitely part something else, big.

Dinner was had, presents were opened, relatives were visited with. Went with F & B to a Christmas party at one of F's cousins' homes on Saturday night. Had a lovely visit and we all made out pretty well at the Yankee Swap. Met some relatives I didn't know I had, on F's side of the family.

Drive home was uneventful. The snow dumping that was working its way up the coast didn't hardly touch Maine. There was a dusting at the new house when we stopped by to check and make sure the heat was still on and not draining the tanks, but that was it. Cleaning supplies and trash bags have been acquired, the battle begins at 1PM tomorrow.

So... this was going to be a lot grumpier. But I have had food, and chocolate chip cookies, and things are better.
ranty ranty rant )

Was all excited when I came home for lunch (I forgot my bread...), too. A note in the door! A package that could not be delivered because I was not home! It's my fuzzy from ebay! Yay! Upon picking up said package from the local USPS, No... 'twas a lovely note from the US Dept. of Fish & Wildlife stating that the fuzzy from ebay was confiscated at the US border (shipped from Canada), because it's in violation of the Endangered Species Act, and *I* failed to declare it. Eh? Not, as it were, my responsibility, I don't think. I'm just the buyer. The seller should have properly declared things, and then maybe I wouldn't have been waiting nearly two months for any sign of this thing (refunds issued, no bad feelings between me and ebayer, but argh.). The fox has been dead for 30 years, I don't think that particular animal is still a threat to the survival of the species... I just wanted a fuzzy to match the bits I bought at Pennsic... I can dispute the claim (papers sent and filed in triplicate, please), which I still may do, and see what happens.

My In-laws are coming tomorrow, I think we're supposed to go out to dinner with them. I'm going to miss fencing practice, probably, unless we move it to Thursday... when I'll miss illumination class. My parents are coming up to see them for lunch on Thursday, and I had to call mom tonight to say "no, please don't come see me at work. It won't be nearly as much fun as you think it will be". If we were actually open, and selling trees and stuff, it would be entirely another matter... I don't know if I'll even be there, let alone in any mood to socialize.

Ok... so that was a little bit grumpy... I think I need some tea.
