Friday the 13th!

Even though I am a superstitious person, I have never been one to be fearful of today. I will try not to step on a crack when walking on a sidewalk, and I will knock on wood occasionally, but today, the 13th... I got no problem with it! (knock on wood) :)

Things are moving quickly here, 2 weeks from today and I will be sitting on a beach in Mexico! This will be my first passport stamp, I'm excited! This year Mexico, next year... Maybe Canada for the Winter games... then it's on to Europe! OH and I can't wait to see Russia, good old USSR! :) Maybe somewhere in this brain of mine I can remember a few words of that language... maybe...

After the Mexico trip I get to start looking for a job again... It's been fun not working, but I need to get back to it... the checkbook is wanting some funds... and who am I to deny the checkbook what it wants. Also, it's hard to meet folks in a new town... I think I need the social benefits of going to work everyday.

We are getting settled into the new apartment, apartment living is... well apartment living. This place is a lot nicer than our last place, we have a townhome style apartment, so there is no one above or below us. NICE! The cats have settled right in :) We were worried about Kitty being able to get around, he is getting old and now has arthritis, so we worried that he would not be able to handle the stairs. We had him in the apartment for... oh maybe 10 minutes, when he headed down the stairs, without a problem! Either we was trying to leave, or he was showing us that we don't have to worry. Smart cat! (or smart ass, whatever). He doesn't go up or down often, but occasionally I find him upstairs, or downstairs just hanging out. He still isn't inclined to jump on the couch, but I guess I will take baby steps... he is doing the stairs without a problem! And Hercules loves having the hallways and stairways to run up and down and attack his shadow or the air... or whatever fancies him at the moment (he's my freaky fur baby child) :)
Here's a photo of thier corner, Hercules has a window to stare out from his perch. and they both have thier bed/pillows to sleep on.

That's it for this update... I am going to try to update the blog at least once a week... that's the new plan!

Glad you guys are getting resettled. I think I need to go to Mexico with you. I think I need a lot of tequila right now.
