Welcome!

I've finally decided that I am a writer - all the other things I do just pay the bills. Someone eloquent once said that if you do what you love, the money will follow. Well, let's just see about that.

RIP Aggie

RIP Aggie
Aggie was my fifteen-year-old cairn terrier - or maybe I should say I was her 55-year-old person! She was my faithful companion, spoiled rotten and I am still trying to figure out what to do without her.

This is Peter the gingersnap tabby! He's seven years old and has just been promoted to Peter the Very, Very Good. He is working his way up to Peter the Great...

Bee is Peter's buddy. He's eight years old and has made himself right at home. I guess cats really do come in pairs or sets of three!

And Jasper makes three!

Jasper is our new guy - the Cat From Another Place. He's four years old and we think he likes it here - so far, so good!

On my last nerve...

I am counting the days until I move to the other apartment - I am hoping that it will be a lot quieter.  I'd even settle for a little bit quieter!  I've gotten used to Pizza Guy and his coming home at 2:30 in the morning.  Aggie and Monty are even more tolerant of his walking his boxer shortly thereafter.  Everybody's got to work - I can deal with that.  But over the past week, the noise and traffic (I'm by the sidewalk and the back stairwell) has been horrific.  Apparently, the hot chickie upstairs (who incidentally dyed her dog pink - another story) has a new paramour and he drops by anytime between one and five for a - what do you call it? - booty call.  Okay - not my business, but it's the insistent knocking on the door that is making me nuts.  First, there's clump, clump, clump up the stairs.  Then, it's knock knock knock knock knock knock knock on the door.  No answer.  Then again, knock knock knock knock knock knock knock on the door.  Seven knocks - not six, not eight, but seven.  Still no answer.  Seven knocks again.  I don't know if it's some sort of code or what.  Last night this went on for eight cycles.  Fifty-six, count them, fifty-six knocks.  I felt like throwing open my door and yelling, "If she hasn't answered by now, buddy, she's either not in the mood or dead."

  2. Hi Dawn,
    I love your post. I have to say that your patience is pretty strong if you survived 56 knocks. Sad to say that no-one is knocking at my door now that I moved.

    Oh, do tell the story about the pink dog someday.

    Quiet is nice, so good luck in your search.

    Yoli :)
