Surprise, Surprise!

I got a call on my answering machine last night. For all my bitching about the Morris scrutiny, they said I had been approved. Go figure. I gathered from the tone of the message that perhaps they called the vet first and were told in no uncertain terms how much effort I had put into saving SaraBelle. I can gather they decided not to continue much further after that. So I can get a kitten or other animal from now until the next 6 months from Morris, which doesn't have a huge selection, sadly. I'm going to wait until kitten season before I give a hard look, however.

Other things in life: Its been freaking COLD of late. Temps in the teens at best. When I went away to California someone decided to turn on winter.

For final fun, I picked up a refurbished laptop computer. Not bad at all, but the first Windows machine I have ever owned. It seems to have some good features (including an unmentioned wireless capability) but it had to reboot about five times before it was ready to be used. Kind of an odd thing since it was obviously doing it on purpose. Weird. Anyway, I now have portable computing ability. Yay!
