Where did this week go?

What a week this was! I'm pretty sure that it should be Monday, but here it is Friday night. How did that happen? Halloween is over now, so what do I do with 5 pounds of extra candy? Did all of our neighbor kids move? I guess they were all at the mall-crawl. Oh well....

So I had a breakthrough of sorts today, with our weird, scrawny little stray cat. I'll take a pic and post it for you. He/She (can't get close enough to tell) is a fairly young looking dirty little calico cat with some serious issues. We've all been bitten, and she growls and hisses continually, yet doesn't leave. I called the animal control folks, who informed me that Teller County has no cat ordinance. That means they won't help me. I called the Shelter, they informed me that unless I want to capture it, bring it in, and lie to them about not wanting it any more, they can't accept it. Besides, who would adopt it? It's a no-kill shelter, so I would be sentencing it to a long life in a small cage. That would be bad. Anyway, back to my breakthrough....

I sat out on the porch today, because it was a spectacular day, and hand fed this poor creature kitty crunchies by hand until he was purring and rubbing on my hand. I still got bit, but it was definitely an improvement. Did I mention he stands at the door, day and night, hoping for food. What can I say.... I'm weak.

I guess I should be going to bed soon. I have to get up at the crack of dawn and drive Dane down to his last scuba diving class! Yay! He's so stoked about this.... He seems to be doing really well, too. It's sad though, because its an all day class. I'll need to find something to do all day. Shopping comes right to mind.

Maybe I'll go by and visit with the new mama-to-be! That would be fun! I went by the other day, but she was leaving for a nail appointment. Bummer. Maybe we can do lunch. I wonder if she's back from her game in Texas? Have I mentioned how proud I am of her?

Well, it's crowding midnight, so I'll leave here. ttfn, and I'll write back soon!
