Me and Jag are about to leave on vacation. One quick knitting note before I go. I finished my green multi-multi-multi-yarn Liesl shrug. It fits, it keeps my shoulders warm in the ridiculously cold AC that’s been turned on everywhere, and I love it.

Many many thanks to Robin for helping me and Jag clean out my old house yesterday! It sucked, but it sucked less with help. Also, driving a cargo van is fun. Not as fun as an F350, but fun.

After much thought, we decided to take Miranda with us on vacation (yes, pets are allowed at the park). Given how much coaxing she needs to eat twice a day and how ritualized the whole feeding procedure has become, we had visions of getting a phone call from the vet on Friday asking us if we wanted to come collect our anorexic cat and would we approve an IV in the meantime? And I can’t expect a vet tech to sit there and spoon-feed my cat. This idea may be completely insane, but having her with us is better than spending the time worrying about whether she’s eating while sitting all stressed out in a cage with strange animals making noise around her. And we always miss the kitties on vacation, so it’ll be nice to have one to snuggle with. I’m sure we’ll have some fun stories about this.
