Back to computer work today. We test sent our current newsletter
several times before we could work out the bugs and send it out to
everyone. It can be seen at http://japancatnet.com/springsummer2009news.pdf Also worked on answering mails from people needing help with
rescues--David and I took turns! There are always so many mails to be
written, and many of them attached to cases that require problem
solving. Somehow tired brain isn't as satisfying as tired body, when it
comes to feeling good about having accomplished the hard work for the
day. Takako is working on the details for the fund raising party, and I
sent out a bunch of mails inviting students and other people that we
know. Would have liked to have had more time to plan ahead, but that
always seems to be the case. Our new idea is to have the same style
parties every year at around the same time, so that we'll eventually
get it down to a science!
Valerie and Melody have been going on short excursions into the kitten
enclosure for play time with the little maniacs, but Mel is not amused
by their antics. Fine when she's the run-jump-pouncer, but unacceptable
to be the pouncee. She and her sis will be going out to their new home
soon, so it's not so important that they make friends with the others,
but I do like to see them have an opportunity to stretch their legs.
They were zipping around the house for a while, but I'm with Mel on the
aversion to being treated like a trampoline, and with so much computer
work needing to be done, we decided to see if the girls could make do
in the enclosure. Val has been a trouper, and except for a few growls,
settled in to explore the area. Melody is just starting to be able to
relax a little, particularly when she finds a good spot to perch and
watch the world.
That's Buttercup on David's back, during one
of her indoor sessions. The Powerpuff girls have really been favorites
of mine, and I look forward to Bubbles' upcoming visit, when the trio
will once again be reunited for a short time. Anyone interested in
seeing my blog entries from the lost days, can catch up on those at our

David, as always, was a great help in keeping my chin up while I was watching and hoping for my blog to reappear! I have to admit that I had my doubts, but Eeyore says it best: "It's a remarkable thing," he said. "It is my house, and I built it
where I said I did, so the wind must have blown it here. And the wind blew it right over the
wood, and blew it down here, and here it is as good as ever. In fact, better in
places."
