My server has been glitchy all day long, probably due in part to the extremely high winds we've had--gusts up to over 30 mph. A *big* branch came down in front of my door, blocking it and banged up the fence a little but nothing bad. Shockey came and cut it up with his chainsaw, so now I can get outside again. Some fairly bad storms are predicted for tonight as well.

Letter from K.

Brother is recovering nicely from his neuter on Monday. I kinda hated to do it (because of the general idea of forcing my will on his like that, I think) but I know I did the right thing and in the long run he will be happier and healthier because of it. The vet was very pleased with his overall health -- 9 3/4 lbs., a good weight -- (he's FeLiv negative, yay!); the only problem was ear mites which are easily cleared up. He's a year old (or nearly so) and current on all his shots, so he should be a happy healthy boy now. It was a bit more than I had planned for but they are letting me have a couple of weeks to finish paying, since I had already paid 90% up front. That helps, plus they know I will be bringing in the mother cats as soon as the kittens are weaned (which will be *soon* Please!!!)

Posting this now while the server is up.

Tonight I am watching "Screened Out" on TCM, since I have no real reason to watch anything else. I'm giving up "you-know-what" and also the Sopranos, which you know is incredibly rare for me. But this is Pride Month and these movies are seldom (if ever) seen on tv, so I am making a rare exception.
