Updates

WOW. It’s been a long time since I’ve updated. A lot has been going on in general lately. The Cat Hospital keeps getting busier and busier. We’ve hired an extra technician on to keep up with the fact that we have a second doctor. It’s good business, but some days are overwhelming! But as time goes on we’ll find better ways to streamline and get more efficient, and before long we’ll have a bigger practice with more space.

At home, there are now 5 critter members of our family. Of course, there will always be the Divine Miss Mollywobbles. We also have Ultra-Violet the wonder Frenchie, Plymouth K. Car (a.k.a. Rocky Balboa, a.k.a. The Orange Menace) and miss Mya, the beautiful Manx kitty. The newest addition is Miss Mary Jane, a beautiful Columbian Red-Tailed Boa. Her tail is more of a brownish hue, but she’s still quite beautiful. She is 12 years old, and she’s a rescue. We spent nearly 2 weeks custom-building a cage for her that had padlocking lids, as she is big enough to be a threat to little Mollywobbles, and potentially the cats. I can’t even relay how many people asked me “what if Mary eats Mollywobbles?” Well, pardon my irritation, but Duh. If you don’t know me well enough to know that I would have made intense preparations to keep Mollywobbles safe, then you don’t know me very well at all.

The Yeomen of the Guard is nearly ready to open. It’s only a week now. It’s going to be a fantastic show. I am thankful to have been a part of it, but I learned a very important lesson through the rehearsal period of this show, and that is this. I am useless to myself and others without my requisite dose of Kim-Time. I have done community theatre throughout my life, and I enjoyed it. Then I moved to professional theatre, which took less time AND I got paid for it. Now that I’m back to community theatre, and there are 6 weeks of rehearsal, I don’t know how everyone else is doing it. My kids are suffering… Mollywobbles and Violet have been at boarding for a week already, and will be so for two more weeks. They’ll be fine there…. Taurus takes excellent care of them. But I’m guessing they miss home. I sure miss them. But I don’t even have time to feed them.
