We bought a humane trap today so I (yes, I'll get to do it) can start collecting the ferals and have them put down. This makes me sad. Odd, it wasn't that long ago that I hated cats and was taking pot-shots at them out the back door. Must be empty nest transference.
On Thursday late afternoon, I found out that The Boss pulled the plug on a project I'd been working on. The users weren't holding up their part of the load, so he just said forget it. I was extremely upset for a while, then realized that I'd been tied up in knots trying to get the ball rolling and trying to politely nudge the others to get it rolling with me. I was working nights and weekends.... After the initial shock of the decision wore off, I felt like a great weight had lifted from me. I'm OK with it now.
On a happy note, my Valentine present arrived this week, somewhat late, but nonetheless appreciated. I love my new little gadget box. I can haul all my sewing goodies all over the house and not misplace them. Now all I have to do is find my sewing goodies, because I've hauled them all over the house and misplaced them.
By the way - I found my container of straight pins. They were on the bar covered by some odd bit of clutter. They were probably laughing at me.
I ordered Hubby a Flyleaf cd and it finally arrived. He made me listen to some of it. Not exactly my cup o' coffee, but if it makes him happy...
I'm breathing a little easier tonight. I checked the homework timeline and I'm only one chapter behind. The way she has it arranged, one week is reading, the following week is problems. I like one chapter much better than four!
It's possible that on Friday, Hubby and I might be heading West for the day. Too bad I'll have to be stuck in the office until 6 pm. I'd love to spend the afternoon hanging out with Aunt Jo. Darn that job. If only I didn't need those paychecks...
I looked at Schnauzermom's blog today - it had been a few days since I'd visited her place (been busy drowning) - and saw the photos of her quilts. Oh! They're lovely!
Shoulda, coulda, woulda - I wish now I'd followed through with my original plan to copy all my LHC journal entries here. With talk of LHC being broken indefinitely, and when it comes back, it may not be in its entirety, I'm bummed to think that I might lose all I'd written over the last year and a half. Yes, hindsight is 20/20.

I'm sorry to hear you're going to have to start trapping. It's heartbreaking.
I love your sewing box. How snazzy are all of those compartments! You can put loads of stuff in there. I'll bet you love it.
I wish we could get together. Friday I will be attending the 3-ring-circus that is my sister's wedding. It makes me cranky just thinking about it. Maybe we can get together once I get done with school.
Right now I'm kind of planning on taking the summer off (ie, not looking for a job yet) and getting the pit that is my house straightened out.
I hear you about downloading your journal. I did it several months ago and then my computer crashed and I lost it all. I'm kicking myself.
Have a good week.
I'm sorry that you have to put down the feral cats. But they can take over if given a chance. I love that little box. It's cute and looks really handy too. Aunt Jo posted a comment to my blog but apparently I hit the wrong button and deleted instead of saving it. I appreciate her comment though. At least I think it was her, I deleted somebody accidently.
I'm sure the wedding will be fun. I had an attitude about #1Son's wedding but enjoyed in spite of myself.
What am I saying? I have an attitude about everything!
Maybe this summer. Who knows? We might even pack up and stay over there for a while. I'm sure the cats would love to take a vacation.
I've done that, too, Schnauzermom. Don't feel bad!
I wish I could find my good shears, knit picker, seam measure, and all the parts to my Singer to fill the box. They're SOMEWHERE, I just don't know WHERE!
