Everything Changes

One year ago today I adopted Mimi and Gizmo, couldn't imagine my life without them!

I may have to change Gizmo's name to Evanrude.

When he purrs, you can hear him from about 10 feet away, just like an outboard motor.

Today was a nice day, albeit a little stressful.

I rented my first ZipCar and picked up Vern and headed out to Farmingdale, Long Island to pick up two new additions to my family, Mimi and Gizmo. They are purebred Persian cats.

I had been looking to adopt one cat, or maybe two kittens. It turns out that a friend from work had two that she had basically had to lock into a room for a few years because of her severe allergies to them. I took them because she showed me a picture and it just made my heart melt!

So I have them here now and the poor things are really terrified. Mimi was hiding under my shower curtain and Gizmo hasn't left the carrier. I took a box and cut holes in it for Mimi and she got in it and went to sleep.

So, I had hoped to take a few pictures but I don't want to scare them any more than they already are. So you'll just have to be patient.

Hope everyone is well.
