Short update.

I hate my job. Love working in the city. Love walking by starbucks with the rest of the morning employees.

Did yoga last night - love it. Andy did it as well. He was having a bad day and I told him it would make him feel better.

Andy got a call out of nowhere from an old highschool friend who still lives in Alaska last night. This guy wants to move to Australia or New Zealand because he's had enough of his own country. That's really strange to me. But I see his point. I often have the thought in my mind - is going back to the States really a good idea?

So we'll be moving mid-next week. I'm taking a day off to do it but maybe I should try and take a few more off... Just to settle in. And because I hate my job...

Shamus says hi. He's been sleeping on the bed at night nowadays. Which is awesome. He sleeps on Andy's legs. He goes through a real "I love my dad" phase followed by "I hate my dad" phase. I like it when he loves me best. There's something amazing about him - you pick him up and smell his belly and he smells like teddy bear. Oh man being a cat lover in love feels so stupid. But it's so nice to have him around. On the weekend he (and I) freaked out about a blue tongue lizzard. It was hissing at Shamus and Shamus would just poke it softly. We were all watching Shamus so he couldn't do what he really want to do - play with it until it didn't move.

I support responsible pet ownership - protect the wildlife. Shamus is an inside cat - so he hasn't developed those hunter skills yet. We'll probably let him outside at the new place - but I'm going to get him a collar and a bell and hope that he just chews on a few insects. But he'll be coming inside every night - I don't want possum offerings left at the door.
