Tuesday
What news is there . . . Hmm, well the cat is going squirrelly. I think all this boxing and removing of boxes is stressing her out. She's taken to suddenly bolting from the room like someone dropped a hot iron on her tail. Dave and I are trying to pat and soothe her as often as we can, but we're rarely sitting down for such occasions. The other night Dave found her in the tower bedroom and sprawled on the carpet beside her for a hello and soothing pets. I found them both there and joined the party, sprawling on the carpet as well for a couple minutes, lol. But we didn't stay long before going back to our work.
In an effort to keep her from stressing we have been making sure not to touch any of her stuff and pack or move it. The plan is to wait till the day we take her, put her in her carrier, quick gather up her things, take her to the new house and set her things out then let her loose. Of course, at the end of the day we'll have to put her back in the carrier and quick regather everything to take her back home because we can't actually sleep at the new house the first night or so. So she's getting to visit and adjust while we organize what we can there before the furniture arrives.
You probably think we're being silly or worrying too much about a kitty, but she is a member of the family. She also has a tendency to throw up when stressed and the carpets there are all WHITE. We are trying to preserve both our cat's sanity and the new carpets. There are loads of concerns about the kitty and the new house. Her tendency to get sick (which she also does after eating too fast), and the fact that there is a lovely large Atrium there at the base of the living room and I am so driving myself crazy trying to think of ways to make sure she doesn't think the Atrium is a new larger kitty litter (Groannnnn) I'm also worrying about the plants in it. Which reminds me, I need to look at the pictures of the atrium and research the plants to see if any of them are poisonous to cats.
Speaking of the cat, she noticed me sitting for a change while I have a coffee and type this and so has come to sit beside me for comforting. Guess I'd best give her some cuddles, then get back to the last of the packing. We go to the lawyers this afternoon to sign papers and then it's just a case of driving Mr. Spice crazy till Thursday.
Hope you're all well and happy.

P.S. I'll ask Mr. Spice to post the cover for The Immortal Hunter up here for me. It comes out next week so I guess we should put it up. Did we even think to put up The Rogue Hunter? Sheesh. I've been so behind on EVERYTHING. Can't wait for this to be over and order to return to my life . . . Well, okay, my life has never really had much order, but it's never been this bad either.
