I forget whether I mentioned, but I got a new computer. I’ve still been using the old one for a few things, and am likely to continue, and I need to find a new place for it to live that isn’t on the floor right next to my desk. Anyway, while I was burning some CD’s, Lil Stipety was enjoying the heat thus generated. And of course Beeks photobombed.

Stipes worried I was going to oust him from his position. Which indeed I subsequently did.

Any time someone asks me, “How are your animals?” or something similar, I tend to take a picture of what the nearest animal(s) is/are doing. So here’s Beekles on my lap:

One day that was obviously last December and totally not in April, brother and I were doing something in the rec room that had nothing to do with taking down the Christmas tree in April, and Stipes came to help:

That same day, Beeky was adorable:

And I received four letters all from the same business with addresses typo’d so badly I have no idea how they made it to the right place:

That made me laugh so hard.

Meanwhile, an update on the cat bites:

04/25:

If you set down a sweatshirt or a jacket or a coat on another surface, Galileo instantly materializes and sleeps on it. INSTANTLY.

I’d only set this stuff down on the bed because I was going to grab them and go right back out soon. So then I had to wake Little Cat up again and harass him off what I needed to take with me.

04/29:

One time I looked over and saw Lil Heeks’n’Beeks sneepin’ so cutely on the bed that I took a picture from afar:

04/30:

We skipped baf day because I was feeling so awful I didn’t think I could handle bathing him. So now he’s grungy and so am I! He also doesn’t really understand why I’ve been lying around so much lately.

05/03:

Surgery went very smoothly, and recovery hasn’t been too dire either. Galileo kindly curled up next to me right when I got home. He usually doesn’t like me this much, but he’s that kind of nursing cat.

05/05:

It was a laparoscopic operation, so I got four incisions. They’re looking pretty good!

Today Waybee is determined to sleep on my lap no matter what position I’m in, and we do a little song and dance every time she tries to settle keeping her off the incisions. Still in decent amounts of pain, but it’s getting better.
