plonq | Not much of a presence here recently

I have not been around here much in the past couple of weeks, either reading or posting. The problem is that traditionally I have done most of my LJ reading/writing at work, but now that I've been moved out onto the floor, I don't have the privacy that I enjoyed in my little office. I am either going to have to bite the bullet and force myself to do this from home, or adapt to the new paradigm.

Since I am a stubborn old sod I am going to do the latter.

There has been surprisingly little to report on in my life lately. We picked strawberries last weekend and

atara turned most of them into yummy strawberry jam.

I took Tuesday off work and we caught the matinee of Ratatouille. The story was a bit predictable, but they managed to avoid some of the annoying clichés that one often sees in a movie like this. I give the movie two thumbs up (four if I had prehensile toes, but then I'd just be showing off).

We have a potential adopter for our foster cat. We're going to crate her up and taker her down to the shelter on Monday for a meet & greet with her prospective owner. Leia gets very stressed out at the shelter, and does not show well there as a rule.

atara has booked a private room, and we're going to get there early to let her settle in a bit before this girl shows up for a look.

Don't blow it kid - we like you and all, but we want our change room back.

I am going to miss her when she finally gets adopted. She's a very nice cat, but she picks fights with Jaws or Belladonna.
