Day 2

I didn't do anything today.  I was pretty much confined to the hotel room because I don't have a vehicle.  I was hoping my 1987 Mazda 323, E.T., would be transported over here today from Spokane, but, unfortunately, he wouldn't start when the transport driver got to my sister-in-law's house to pick him up.  Oh well.  Now we're having him picked up by a truck with a winch, but, after 24 and 1/2 years, we may have to look for a new car.  Pooh.  E.T's been the best, most awesome car ever.  He's just the best.  Once again, oh well.

Weather report: gray and cold (duh).

We did a walk through at the new house this afternoon with our realtor.  Everything seems to be on target.  The sellers still have a lot of stuff to move out before 9:00 p.m. Friday night, but they seem to think it is under control.  I got the same feeling.  We have sort of inherited an outside cat with the house.  He's a very nice cat; orange and white, quite sweet.  He 'adopted' the folks who own the house now.  Their neighbor agreed to 'take' him, but he still shows up at our house looking for affection and food, which is just fine by me.  Mark likes the cat, too, and this will be a good cat 'situation' because the cat does not like to be inside.  He likes to sit on the front porch, and so do I.  Best of all, he has been neutered.  Yea!  So, now, after 25 years, I get to have another cat.  Whoo-hoo!

Tomorrow is going to be an easy-going day.  I will probably watch some movies and chill out in the hotel room with the puppies.  Brenna and Ty are really adapting well to living in one room.  And they are behaving themselves very well with regard to outside noises in the hallway, except for when the Beagle goes by making his Beagle noises.  Puppies are so funny.

And that's it for now.  Mark is snoring; Ty is whining for attention.  Brenna/Pumpkin is asleep on her bed.  I think I will call it a night.
