Live, and let Live policy

With the advent of this smaller house, all of our animals make for an interesting time. When the cats first got here, I kept them trapped in one room while the dog was in, then I would trap the pup in her kennel and let the cats run the house. Well, two days ago I instituted the live and let live policy where the dog is always out, and the cats are not locked up. One of the cats chose to spend the day in one of the closets where the dog couldn't get her, and the other cat spent the day sleeping under the blankets on our bed and then complaining to the dog when she got too close to him. It is pretty fun to watch. I am hoping that eventually they will all get along, but the truth about most dogs and cats is that it doesn't usually happen. I am sure that I will have more stories later.

An addendum to the profanity comment on BHR: You don't want to hear all the racial profanity that the younger generation says to each other, it isn't very nice and incredibly degrading, although they don't think of it like that.

This summer

I decided not to work this summer because I have a 12 month paycheck, and I have to admit that at this point I am a little bit bored, but excited because the house we are renting is finally inhabitable with no boxes, except the one that I am using a a trash can in the office. It is so nice to finally be settled. My other is now on graves, so I get to see him for only a few hours everyday.

My family and nieces came by to see the house and it was really nice to see them. They even got to see/meet my other, who is usually working so he is never available. It is nice to be a little way out of the city where it is a little quieter.

Work starts back up in about another three weeks or so, and I am going to make the most of it until then. I am also intrigued by the influenza of 1918, and have started a book that tells about it. That, then, has made me interested in the first world war, which not a lot of channels or networks have told us about. They always focus on the second, of which we were a more integral part. Anyway, I will let you know what I find out about this fascinating time in history.

OK, I have been trying to write on my blog for the last couple of weeks, and this new system is never recognizing me so I have to keep going to the help e-mails anytime that I want to do something in this program. I am so incredibly frustrated that you have no idea what it is like to log in every time. Grrr!!!!!
