comin' along...
Tue May 10 2011

the new place is taking shape. i've got some prints up. i've patched some small holes, bruises in the walls that happened during the move. we'll see how the paint job looks tomorrow in daylight. the paint was a hair too light...

all in all, very very content to be here. my buddy from college is back in town after a long long stay in another state. she's back in nyc and it'll be good to reconnect and share in the splendour that is summer in nyc. lots of free stuff (art, dance, film, theater) and it'd be nice just to walk through central park like old times.

work has been interesting.

thurs morn i'll try out the kitkat that's in need of a home. i don't work thurs or fri so i can supervise how he gets along with tuxedo cat. tuxedo cat is really turning into a little coward. today, the tech came to hook up internet and phone (threw in regular tv channels for free) and tuxedo man tried to retreat underneath the freakin' stove. he got his head a little stuck...because cats normally can't fit under there. i gently got him out and locked him in my bedroom.

he's still in hideout mode. it's been hours since the tech left. i sincerely hope it works out with the new cat. he's got a great personality, very very laid back.

so. walking home from the library i felt good. content. i'm back to working out, albeit at home...may quit the gym and get a bike. got a few flicks to watch tonight and 2 books (Anne Rice)...

the previous tenant left a full unopened bottle of top shelf vodka in the freezer...

yah!

to Salamander: happy aniversary, it's your birthday...

    Shy is easier to deal with than aggressive if you want to try to bring in a new cat. Tuxedo cat may not even be shy with a new cat - he might be reserving it for strange people. The shelter has been having some good luck with Feliway's plug in pheromone to help destress introductions; it's a little pricey but you might want to consider getting one of the plug ins and setting it up a day or so before bringing new kitty home.
