The Herbal meme was amusing. I like the photos of the herbs :)

Although, I don't really think of myself as leading an "edgy" or "dynamic life" :D

We're adjusting to life with just three of us in the apt. Roz had slowed down a lot and was sleeping a lot so interaction levels were lower in some ways, but L and I still expect another cat in the shadows at times, and there's more space in the kitchen now (we had moved the litter boxes so Roz didn't have to walk as far...). Peredur's doing pretty well overall, just having to adjust eating patterns (Roz used to eat some of his food and vice versa).

For those who have been wondering, no, we won't be getting another cat right away. Maybe after we've done more work around the place, and I don't think any sooner than after Pennsic.

Sunday was sunny so we got some yardwork in. Choir practice went well. Kungfu classes continue, and we continue to survive them, mostly. Kinda rough last night and today. For some reason I have a pain in my right eye and side of the head... oh well.

Hm, doesn't seem to be any hay needing loading today.... oh, we ordered a couple of bows and they came in yesterday; opened the box today. They're nifty-looking, horse bows. Should be fun to play with, once we get a target set up.

Making some progress on sewing some simple linen shirts for hiking. Two are done and two more just need hemming/finishing bits.

Need to order some things this week, while L still has enough brain matter, before work takes over more than usual. Like, a new tent! Another canvas one, but a hair smaller than the oval marquee, so we can fit more other stuff into the minivan.

And I should start tackling Southwest (craft room) again, getting stuff sorted in there so we can maybe do craft stuff in there. Or at least get from one side of the room to the other without too many gymnastic moves. Our summer SCA clothing is in trunks in there too, insulating the wall under one of the windows. I'm planning a re-design of at least my wardrobe so that I can maybe get rid of another bin at Pennsic. My goal is to get two-week's worth of clothing into one trunk....

Yup, life is definitely on the edge.

What sort of tent were you thinking of?

Glad to hear things are adjusting as well as
can be expected.
:hugs to you both:

Wall tent.

Thx :)

Good call. We got one last year. We love it, and
it was inexpensive too! I don't know if I shared
the linky with you, but:

It's OK to take your time--when it's the right time, you'll know :-)

Sometimes you don't really have a choice about 'when' you find a cat. Almost all of the cats I've ever been owned by came 'through the door in the hedge'. Only Magic (pictured) was a "deliberately go out and get" cat, because Imber Oakwood was pining so much after both Lion and Widget went on within 3 months of each other.
The 'Cat Replacement Agency' has their own way of working...

Yes, my family acquired a cat that way... literally, he followed me home.

Not as likely out here in the countryside though. Both Roselynde and Peredur we went out for -- I rescued her from a pet shop, and L met Peredur at a local shelter.

Also, I'd like it if we can get a pair this time.
