Cat-Approved

Between evacuating the old house and getting into the new house, pet restrictions on our housing options meant that we didn't have our pets with us when we initially moved in. Our dog Bark Lee was with us for most of the month before that, but our cat Pyewacket had to stay with relatives.

Bark Lee settled in pretty fast, bu Pye has had a harder time. She spent most of her first day hiding behind the door in the upstairs bathroom, then spent most of the past two days in the closet of my wife's office. But she's finally taking some time to explore the house, and was perching on the edge of my table just now, surveying the remaining boxes in my office.

There's still a lot to do in this office. I directed a lot of boxes here with plans of showing a lot of books and CDs that had languished in the garage in our last house. But we're low on shelving, so right now they're just sitting in the closet in boxes. The rest of these boxes are the accretions of old tech that we have carried with us. I'm hoping to take some time to carefully scrub them for disposal if I can't repurpose them.

Tomorrow is Pride in the new city, and we're hoping to meet some new friends.
