Long overdue update
Mar. 10th, 2014 12:46 pmOMG I can post and view the friends page again at work!!! However, since this has already happened once or twice -- i.e. being able to post/read, and then not, because all of a sudden it's 'suspicious' -- I'm not holding my breath.
I wish I could bring myself to communicate in the morning, but it's simply beyond me. Unless I'm talking to the cats, of course, but that's maybe not quite what one might call communication. And writing anything coherent really is beyond me at 6 a.m.
Never mind, right now I *am* capable of putting coherent thought into writing. Hopefully.
There isn't all that much to report -- basically my life has been rather stressful these last weeks, but right now it seems as if all the unpleasant stuff is actually unravelling and re-patterning itself into happy endings:
1) My parents (yes, both of them, but by now I'm thinking of my father as an unpleasant but necessary collateral effect) will very, very probably be moving into a flat in my building. It still has to be renovated; they'll view the premises this Wednesday, and if they're ok with it (my mother has already seen the place and likes it), the relevant permits will be obtained, work started asap, and the flat should be ready for moving in this summer (July I'd say).It's going to be quite a lot of work for me, but at least I can *FINALLY* help my mother, and she's willing to accept my help.
2) Lola has gone to live with Irene on Saturday. I was very reluctant to ask Irene, but the domestic/feline situation had become completely untenable, especially after Lola was fairly sick in February. And my nerves were completely frazzled -- having to foil attacks and de-escalate tense situations at least five times a day was really getting to me. Fortunately Irene had already been anticipating my question, and was quite willing to step in. Today, i.e. on her third day with the New Mother Goddess (whom fortunately she already knew and liked) Lola is settling in well -- I suppose she thinks she's gone to heaven, what with no boyz and complete freedom to roam her new territory. Ze Boyz (version 2.0), too, seem very happy -- especially Rambo isn't so stressed-out anymore; he was so very afraid of both adult cats, when they had one of their increasingly frequent conflicts.
So, while there won't be much of an opportunity for going on holiday during the next months, until my parents have been safely packed and moved that is, the new cat situation means that I'll actually be able to contemplate a holiday in autumn. Ze Boyz 2.0 can be left for a week in Irene and Janine's care, and I could go to Crete for a week of sea, sports, reading and relaxing. I'm looking at the idea out of the corner of my eye only, so as not to jinx it.
And now some f-page reading :-)
Oh, and here's a pretty boy for your enjoyment -- Rambo, a few days ago. Pretty kitteh, huh?
