Been a while
I realized .. uh, earlier today, I think it was.. that I haven't posted
about myself in a while. Which, I suppose, stands to reason: we've been so busy trying to get a house arranged, and around those plans arrange a new car for me to drive to work, and arranging work in conjunction with that, and trying to find money *some*where, and jeez if we get the house there's no way we'll be able to buy any furniture to stick in it besides the crappy apartment stuff we already have.. really, I could use a vacation. My brain wants to explode. Anyway, all that, and then the past two months or so have been absurdly slow loss-wise. I've been losing consistently; in fact, I haven't had any gains at all since a 0.4lb gain in early February. But it's been ..4, .6, .2, .4, .8.. fractions, for the most part. Altho I actually did have my first 0 change week about a month ago. Not that it got me anywhere, it was just an interesting thing to note. However, this week I managed to pull off a 4.2lb loss. Don't really know why, not really questioning it; I figure I deserve it, if nothing else. However, it does mean I'm now officially one-third of the way to my ultimate goal. Which isn't as exciting as two-thirds, but I'll take it. As soon as I've lost one more pound (which I really am hoping will be next week, because falling into slow weeks again will just irritate me) I'll have lost 20% of my starting body mass. Which I guess is neat. It doesn't mean much to me, but it's something I can chart, and I do love charting. Oh, and we had a litter of kittens this week. Stray outside cat who I feel bad for because she got really banged up six months or so ago to the point she couldn't walk on her right hind leg, she got pregnant (of course) and decided to show up at our door with a kitten in her mouth about three days after she had them. No way I could shut her out, obviously. So they're living under my husband's nightstand (her choice, obviously, not his) probably until they're old enough to run around without killing themselves. Altho by that time we'll be moving into the house, and I really am working hard on my husband to keep them, because we'll have the space there. He wants to get rid of them because he fears turning into the crazy people with a thousand cats in one house, but I'm already picking out names. I really hope I win this contest, because I wuv them very much. Anyway, I think that's everything. Just thought I'd say hi, and I really am still here and still going, I just don't have occasion to talk about it much. -Tay 415.4/333.2/170 lbs 188.4/151.1/77.1 kg 29s9.4/23s11.2/12s2 |

When my husband and I bought our first house we had no furniture, just a mattress and box springs, a tiny desk, chair and a bookcase a student at the high school where I worked made for me. We put clothes in cardboard boxes, used an ice chest for a freezer and slowly got things we needed beginning with the refrigerator. It all works out. I'm a sucker for kittens too. Perhaps you can find homes for some of them. Audrey |

glad you are out there, don't worry about the furniture, do without it until
you can save for what you want, and already being the crazy cat people, we have five, furniture doesn't last anyway, Lee, who thinks you can use this a bargaining tool with your DH Tayra wrote in message t...

Inside there's Kitty, Moira, Galileo and Seiyuu (sibs from the same litter; the little girl thinks she's got the best voice in the world and uses it all the time, but wow, is it awful sometimes), and Skinny. All of them rescued, in one way or another (in the kids' case it was their mom who had them inside to save them from being outside, and of course we wouldn't put them out). Then there are several cats outside who have been abandoned by neighbors who took them in, got tired of them, and kicked them out. Fred, Gilligan, Socks, a little grey one, and a juvenile longhaired black and white girl-cat who I suspect got dumped because she's got a fluid pocket in her abdominal fascia. We feed these cats, because we live in a very cruel animal-unfriendly neighborhood (we've caught neighbors shooting BBs at animals outside before; they thought it was hilarious when they hit one and it yowled), and I intend to take them with us when we move, and build them a little shelter in our yard. DH also thinks that's a dumb idea, but he does understand my wanting to help them. Then there's the mother and four kittens in our bedroom. The mom will have to go back outside: she's too wild to be tame indoors. But she could come to the house with us no problem, and I've been trying to convince DH that the kittens can come too, altho I've left it vague as to whether they'd be in or out. I'd prefer them in, because it's just generally safer, and they'll be quite tame. However, that'd be nine cats living in our house. It's a 2100sqft house, so it's not like we'd all be on top of each other, but .. well, he already thinks owning more than three cats makes us crazy cat people living in filth. So I'm trying to find some way to get him attached to these kittens before he manages to find somebody who really wants one when I don't want to give them up. It does irritate me that he keeps offering them when I've told him I don't want to, but at least he usually only offers when I'm there to tell the other party he's just kidding. Mind you, he *does* want to get a huge dog when we move to the house. I'm not sure why one 100lb dog is better than four 8lb cats :P -Tay |

spay/neuter and a good fence with a shelter would make it fine for them to
be outside, Lee Tayra wrote in message t...
