New Cat

Well, it's been almost a year since I last wrote. NOT a very good blogger, I'm afraid. But I'm willing to try again.
We brought a new cat in the house tonight. Her name is "kitty" and she is from two houses down. She is partially blind and has been "put on the streets" by our neighbors. Not sure why, but since it's pretty chilly out tonight and raining, we thought we'd see if she and Max get along. I'm afraid of what I'll find in the morning. I tried locking her in the bathroom but she wouldn't quit crying. Everyone's asleep so I didn't want her waking everyone up. So far so good as far as Max goes. He follows her around and she will hiss at him if she realizes he's too close and that is that. I just don't want to deal with messes -- especially now that I'm finally getting my house in order. I even have my spices alphabetized! :0) (Owww, how "Kitty" is claiming the couch as her own. We might have to change that name...) I have more work to be done in the washroom and in Prae's room and finally in my room. I feel I need to purge the most there. I've already gotten rid of two FULL black garbage bags full of my clothes and another of the kids' clothes. That felt good! I am paining the bathroom and when done with that will head into the living room. I'm afraid I've been bit by the "home improvment bug" and just can't quit. I'm sure Eli's thinking "It's about time!!" LoL :-)
