So this week we've got Thanksgiving, so there will be simple cooking. I'll probably do a good chunk of that shopping on Tuesday. We adulted and on the recommendation of the appliance repair guy (who came and re-repaired the oven), we are replacing our washing machine, which has survived just over 12.5 years. The benefit of getting a new one, is the added technology features, and the much bigger capacity, allowing us to wash things like the comforters, without having to go to a laundromat (which is fine, just inconvenient). Estimated repair cost (without labor) is almost half of the on sale price of what we got. We'll be getting it delivered and hooked up pretty soon.
We added another cat to our house, more like took over the care of another cat that was family related. So we're pushing into the crazy cat people territory. There has been quite a bit of adjustment to the cat dynamic. So we'll have to be patient as the various levels of cat hierarchy organization are re-built. We've updated all her shots, got her tested and have a follow up booster already scheduled. Then we also have an estimate for some dentistry. It has balanced out the house by gender, with Myself, Loki and Máni on one side, and Shannon, Moonshadow and Freyja on the other. Hopefully this settles out soon.
I also had to say farewell to my brother as he headed out west. Clearly I have mixed feelings about this.
