Long Neglected

The absence of writing does not mean anything, it means that I still have nothing to say.  Pouring my soul out to an online presence (one I had hoped to keep off Facebook, but has somehow made it's way onto my newsfeed) is not something I am keen to do...

Update since the last:

-On March 28th, our 7 year anniversary, we had our beloved Mustang put to sleep, quietly in our laps on our couch.  Our vet and one of the vet nurses (whom we adore) came to our house and did it.  They gave him a sedative injection in his scruff, and then when he was quiet and calm started an IV and gave him a fatal dose of anaesthetic.  He died without ever knowing fear or further suffering.  We laid his body in our hallway for Tasi to smell and see, so that she would understand.  We believe she did, she only cried for him for a night.  We then let her sleep in our room on our bed for the next month, until her wake-up times started to get earlier by 15 minutes every morning (my personal cut-off was 5:30 on a day off...).  She has adapted to single-cat life remarkably well, better than we could have thought.  She enjoys the extra attention, but we worry that she is lonely....

-J has successfully completed her first year of her program (of 2).  She is hoping to do some work this summer (as am I!), so we will see how this all pans out over the next week or so.  It's so nice to have her around more and not constantly distracted by homework and projects, I have her all to myself when I'm home!  We have a big project list for the summer, since when we're going full-tilt through the year there is no time to do the big house projects.

That's all for now...
