Newsy Niblets

One of my darling cats went missing for 3 weeks and I was so upset that I barely told anyone about it. I was holding her so close to my heart that I just couldn't share it without my fear of the worst getting too big. (She's nearly completely blind.) I also didn't want to drag anyone through my pain like I have with Penny. I'm glad I didn't.

She came home this past week, perfectly healthy and beyond happy to be home. I still can't believe it! Here she is the night she got home:












Suki the ancient car has been begging to retire. She no longer goes faster than 40mph and has starting shining her "check engine" light in my eyes. Unfortunately, it would be inhumane to put her through more car surgery at the mechanic, so we're just staying in town until...

--insert drumroll--



...my new car arrives!

I found the car I want in a Taos classified ad, and my sister and godmother went out of their way on a busy day to test drive the car, take it to the mechanic, bargain, and purchase this car for me. (I'll pay them back tomorrow when sis brings the car to me.) Thanks, guys! I owe you!

Here is Susie at my sister's house. She'll get to me bright and early tomorrow morning. Woohoo!





And, uh... I ordered a dozen new bumper stickers last night. Heh.
