Kitty update

Well, Nymphadora has settled in well. She doesn't seem to be in any pain post-surgery (in fact, despite having so few teeth she still seems to prefer dry food!).

But poor baby Calliope has just had one threat to her immune system after another. First she got a touch of the ringworm on her ears. Then I found out she has some sort of intestinal parasite. Now this weekend she's started sneezing and coughing and squinting her left eye which is all watery. So tonight it's back to the vet. She slept almost the whole day yesterday, though she did come over and cuddle with me a bit (and tried to lick my face after I applied some LUSH Mask of Magnaminty).

My girls have been playing a game with the shower curtain where they will attack each other from either side of it. Since Calliope is 5lbs and Nymphadora is about 11 lbs, I think Dora overpowers her in a straight on wrestle. Dora tries to initiate play and Calliope runs away in fear after a minute. Maybe when she's bigger it'll be more of a match. But for now it's fun to watch them in the morning when I'm getting ready for work.

So, such is the state of the kitty union here at Hogwarts on the Hudson. Pictures shall be forthcoming when I take more.

Oh, and before I forget, anyone on my flist familiar with restaurants in Hoboken NJ? I need to find a nice restaurant for a family meal (~10 adults and 2 children) for a Sunday afternoon.

Have a good one, flist.

Christmas stuff

Right, ok, so, I'm not going to send out cards this year and I won't have time or money to bestow gifts upon very many people. But snapecast is doing a gift swap and at least one person on my flist is willing to swap a gift for hot doctor prOn fic. So here are things I'll never say no to receiving:

Sugar free syrups from Davinci Gourmet: gingerbread, pumpkin, amaretto, cinnamon, eggnog, vanilla, caramel, chocolate and hazelnut

LUSH products: Honey I Washed the Kids, Coal Face, Sonic Death Monkey, Mud Flats, Green Wash, Snow Cake, King of Skin, Big, I Love Juicy, Seanik, Nutts and Mange Too.

Green Tea Poki

MEME!

Your Score: Cayenne Pepper

You scored 75% intoxication, 75% hotness, 100% complexity, and 25% craziness!

You are Cayenne!

You're known for your dry wit, saucy remarks, and ability to stimulate (take that however you want). People in hot climates like you for your ability to make them sweat, but you're also quite good for people all over the world. Just don't mention your cousin, deadly nightshade.
