Annabelle has a new trick with her dry food, which is a mix of Meow Mix Seafood, Meow Mix regular, and Rachel Ray: if she doesn't like it, she moves it from her dish and leaves it on the mat.  The mat is covered with dry food.  I guess the search is on for a new dry food.

My choice for NYC Mayor did not win.  The Democrat on the ballot is our current mayor, who won, but I am not much of a fan.  I was happy about the national Democrat wins, and I hope it will stir the GOP into reconsidering their protection of the POS squatting in the Oval Office.

End of political rant.

Cable guy's coming out this afternoon to look at everything (I think our boxes have to be upgraded, plus they think we've stopped getting the full signal at the house that we should be getting), and the insurance adjustor's coming out tomorrow morning.  That was supposed to have been last Sunday, but that didn't work for any of us so we rescheduled.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Do you think your current home will be rented out again, or do you think the owners will sell for a tear down to put up a new house that looks like a dentist's office?  (We didn't get a photo of the replacement for the Annette house yet....)

Do you have any see-lebrity neighbors in your new neck of the woods?  {I forget where you said you were moving....)

Do you have any see-lebrity neighbors in your new neck of the woods?  {I forget where you said you were moving....)

I don't think they can rent it as it is - there is much to be addressed or the renter will be very unhappy.  If they address the issues and tidy it up and spend the bucks I'm sure they'll try to up the rent even more than I was paying.  I've always been told that Marsden has no intention of selling, but who knows.  It's a very nice house, shows well, but it's two bedrooms - unless it's a family with one kid, then it's difficult.  I was their ideal tenant and if they'd actually attended to the problems over the years, rather than just letting things go and causing me to have to deal with them, I probably would have stayed here.

I have been a Schwan's customer for many years.  We like their frozen salmon, apple pies, multigrain mini loaves of bread, and some other things.  I used to order in advance online, but they had some reliability issues here and I'd get a phone call or text saying they weren't going to be able to fulfill what I'd ordered.  That happened one Thanksgiving when I was counting on one of the apple pies, so I just stopped ordering ahead and will see if the driver has what I need when he or she rings the bell.

They've changed the way they do things (at least, with our local Schwan's delivery).  If you wait to order/choose when they get here, they impose a $5 delivery charge per order.  If you preorder online, the delivery charge is only $1.75.  However, if you preorder at least $50 online (and that has to be the total after any discounts and coupons), that fee is waved entirely.  I rarely order $50 worth, and I don't order every time they come, but I have been trying to order online so that I at least don't have the extra $3.25 part of the delivery fee.

I asked Val to bring the carrier into the apartment, and as soon as Annabelle became aware there was a little cat inside, she started rolling around, almost flirting with Thatch, and then she tried to find a way into the carrier.  Thatch started hissing and acting alarmed, as she climbed all over it looking for a way inside.   So, I took Thatch out of the carrier and he and Annabelle faced each other and she watched him with much curiosity .  There was no hostility, absolutely none, just a mutual casing of the other.  she's now eating and he's finally come out from under the cat tree.

I'm going to let him roam for a bit and get his bearings.  He's a very docile kitten, and really sweet.  When his foster parents put him into my carrier, he was absolutely quiet while I filled out the paper work.  His sister and the other fostered cat came to the carrier and said goodbye, then his sister, perhaps smelling Annabelle on my shoes and pants, played with my shoe laces.

He's now roaming about the apartment and Annabelle seems to be trailing him out of curiosity.  He hid behind the toilet when I came into the bathroom and Annabelle got on the toilet seat and reached her paw down and stroked his head. I hope we are going to be fine.

He's now roaming about the apartment and Annabelle seems to be trailing him out of curiosity.  He hid behind the toilet when I came into the bathroom and Annabelle got on the toilet seat and reached her paw down and stroked his head. I hope we are going to be fine.

I think so.  I didn't realize Thatch was living in a foster home with other cats.  That does make it easier.  Good for Annabelle.

And the sparks just flew.  I think he's afraid of her and the new space so he lashes back at her attempts to make friends.  This will be interesting.

Oh.  Can you get them playing with separate toys at once, or hold him on your lap, if he wants to stay there, while you work one toy for Annabelle?
Title: Re: LUGGING AND LIFTING
Post by: Jane on November 08, 2017, 05:18:39 PM
I'm sure he misses his foster home, his two playmates, and I'm probably no help in the situation at the moment.


I guess he's confused but it's good that Annabelle is so welcoming.


Yes.  I expect he will come around.  It is better he is hesitant since you know he gets along with other cats.

My sister and niece have four cats and even though the newest cat has lived with them for more than three years, they still have moments of hissing and attacking.  Fortunately, it's not very often and not very violent at all, but it still happens. :-\

To my delight, a request for two pops orchestrations came from London this morning.  This will keep me busy for the next week.  I also received a scan of the new digitized score for the overture to How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.

Still, keep those check vibes coming!

Well, he wants to be left alone and Annabelle keeps trying to get to him.  I think they need some space for him to find his way around the apartment without her interference.  I believe her intentions are friendly as much as I believe he needs space to miss his old home and make his new one here.  She just jumped over the barrier and, while she was peacefully observing Thatch, I could hear his breathing getting heavier and he was starting to hiss.  He's the little fighter.
Title: Re: LUGGING AND LIFTING

Maybe he would be comfortable for a little while, with the new bed, in the bathroom.

I'd lock him in the bathroom tonight, only I'll be up several times, so I've locked her in there.  If he wants to roam, he can, and if she wants to tell, then I'll deal with that when it happens.

From the unfavorable Hollywood Reporter review of "Hello Again."

"The movie does, however, offer the novelty of seeing Audra McDonald singing while simultaneously being orally pleasured. Whether that's worth the price of admission is a personal decision."

Duly noted.

Yes, Thatch needs the opportunity to completely explore the place and hole up in little places while he gets comfortable with the scene.  As all cats do in a new place.  It doesn't sound like Annabelle is anything but curious and welcoming, and wanting to get to know him, but it's a very strange new world for him.

Toothwise, fine. Yesterday was just x-rays and consultation. Although I'm definitely feeling poorer.

The dental office scheduler and I were trying to book appointments. My dentist is always busy and the upcoming holidays only make it tougher. Do you know that they wanted me to come in on Nov 17, the day of BK's opening night? Well, that's out. I expect the procedure will knock me out--all dental procedures tend to do so these days--and I want to enjoy the show.

Back from a VERY long day.  First I went to the new house with three more boxes of books, after stopping at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for a thing to put silverware in.  I unpacked the three boxes of books, then had some telephonic conversations, then took Beverly Glen over the hill - what a difference to Coldwater Canyon these days.  No traffic at all.  And it was only an extra five minutes on Sunset to the Shermans.  Richard seemed in very good spirits today.  We had a grand visit and he loved the Levi postcards.  He can't wait to see the show.  Then I began the horror show of trying to get across town.  Sunset was all backed up so I took Doheny down to Santa Monica Blvd.  That was all backed up so I got down to Melrose and THAT was all backed up but not quite as bad.  I endured Melrose all the way to LACC - what should have been a fifteen minute drive was fifty minutes.  Once there, I had a sandwich at Cafe 50s, then it was time for rehearsal.

We were missing one of our kids due to a little pet emergency, but no one should be missing from here on in.  The run-through ran just what it's been running - there was some weird old energy going on in the show, but everyone is finding the balance and how far to go with their characters, and we're still trying to find moments and beats but it was pretty smooth, save for one set change in act two.

Jeanne it is definitely the pills, better than malaria though.  I am feeling better now.

Good. How long do you have to take the pills?

At first I thought I needed 40 days of pills.  I need to double check but it looks as if we won't be in malaria county for the first 10 days of the trip.  We have to take them a week after we return.

If I had tested for a reaction before booking this trip we might not be going ;D

Firngers crossed it will be better tomorrow.  At least it is tolerable.
