And other things...

Well, Fang is setting in to the house. He's totally moved inside now. Petey is without doubt his "big toy" - poor guy is getting paranoid about walking around, as Fang chooses any and all moments to rush up, bat at *something* and race off again. They're sooooo totally jealous of each other - if I'm paying any attention to one, the other comes pushing in for their share. Muffy is doing the Jekyll and Hyde bit now - sometimes she recognizes Fang and is okay with him; other times she just sees this "thing" and of course MUST KILL! So Fang is a little leery of her.

Not sure where Fang slept last night - hoping it was in his carrier (where I put some of the clothes he'd been sleeping on in the porch), but it could've been any number of places. I know he kept us all up late, tearing around after plastic bags, catnip mice and any other thing that looked interesting :p Right now the dogs are sleeping on the couch and he's sleeping on my lap so relative peace reigns.

My brother is doing okay with the cat in the house - other than coughing like a maniac and not being able to breathe very well by the second day. But - only 24 days left...

In other news, my weekend pass for the Winnipeg con came in the mail yesterday!!! EXCITEMENT GROWING! :D  Now I have to start going through my clothes to decide what to take - and get the "in storage" smell washed out of them. ;-)  I have one suitcase  - everything has to fit into that or it doesn't go. That includes clothes, cosmetics, "personal care items", shoes - everything for the 4-5 days I'll be gone. Then another small purse-sized bag for the road - snacks, maps, phone, etc.

And yesterday my computer shut down again. Bought a small fan to keep it cool as that seems to be the problem - it occasionally overheats. I really need to get a new one but have decided I need a laptop and that's not feasible in the near future. But when I do get a new one, it will be a laptop. Much easier for traveling ;-)

Who needs TV when you've got pets? Got all the drama and comedy you could want right there - live!

I love having the laptop rather than the desktop. Even if I don't take it anywhere! (That's what the ickle bitty netbook is for.) But it's great to actually have my desk back.

You sound like me with the packing, I plan it ages in advance!

Oh I have to - I'm so used to wearing baggy old jeans and sweatshirts, I have to stop and go step by step as to what I need. One time I had to race to the store for hose (and I *knew* I'd be going to a fancy dance!) LOL
