Last Day in Seattle
Well, I missed my update yesterday. I was busy with some more work on the SassafrasKat site and also following up on kitten inquiries. Still have more to do with both, though.
I haven’t seen the gray shorthair kitty that I saw the first night and the next morning since then, so I’m in big need of a cat fix. I get daily reports from home on how the babies are doing, but it’s not the same as being there and seeing/touching/playing with them myself. I’m sure the BBs and MBs have changed a lot in the six days I’ve been gone — at their age, they change practically overnight.
Class gets out today about 11:30, despite all the course materials saying 5:00. This is the second time this has happened to me at an IBM class. While it’s nice to be FREE! I am not flying home until morning. In some places this would be great — like when I went to class in Colorado where my social calendar is fuller than full. But out here I’d just as soon known I’d be out early and I’d have flown home this afternoon. Next time I’ll make my reservation to go home in the afternoon/evening whether the course description says we won’t be out until 5 or not.
Anyway, enough whining… After class I’m off to sightsee or shop or a little of both. I haven’t done much of either this week and this is a beautiful area. I’ve been wanting to come out and spend time on the Olympic penisula, but that won’t happen this trip. Ken and I have been talking about coming out in August to see Heather, Patrick, and Brasen and sightsee then. Don’t know if we’ll get up to Washington or if we’ll confine our adventures to Oregon on that trip. One thing that is nice about Montana, though, is that we’re close enough to drive out for a long weekend if we want. So one of these days I’ll get my wish to explore the penisula more.
Little bit of cat cotent… Peanut’s girlfriend from back east is coming next week — probably Wednesday — to stay for awhile. She’s a darling little girl — at least in looks — and I’m looking forward to meeting her in person. Her owner says she’s a sweetie personality-wise, too. I’ll try to get some pictures of the furry lovers once they are used to each other. Comet goes home next weekend, unless Brenda and my plans change. I’ll miss the lover boy, but it will good for him to be back with his Brenda-mom. He’s not used to having to spend his time in one room and not getting to cuddle with his people whenever he wants. I feel bad for him when he’s here because although I give him loves, it’s not nearly as much attention as he gets at home. I know he’s lonely for his other family.
