Some improvements, some not

Jamie and I built a trellis a few weeks ago. You know, to make the yard look nice. At the end of the post, you'll see what the city did to make the yard look nice.

Really! Some proof, from a few weeks ago:

Me and the Bishop

The BCP

I was confirmed in the Episcopal Church yesterday. This is the Bishop signing my confirmation certificate in the BCP. Woo!

Jack's treatment continues. He had a setback last week, but is doing better now. We're taking things week by week now, instead of month by month.

Mongrel horde update

Jack, complaining

Jack, roasting

The mongrel horde

Jack's treatment is going well and he is doing pretty good, all things considered. He does have to wear the collar of shame because he won't leave the side of his face alone. They're still not sure if the nerve damage on that side will heal. We'll see. But he does have a blink reflex and is starting to be able to chew solid food. All in all, he is in a much better place than he was last month, even with a funny haircut.

Free snow, shovel all you want

Emma in the snow

Emma's happy to be in the snow, she just doesn't look like it here because I was trying to get her to sit and she'd rather follow me down the driveway. We've got about 8-10 inches and more is on the way.

Woof

This is what Jack does 22 hours a day. Exciting.

Tree 07

The rare tree cat

I think it's the blanket he likes.

Tree, 07

The tree really isn't on fire, I swear. Bonus points if you can spot the Spaz.

My new shelves

I've moved my office upstairs. This is what it looks like from the guest bed.

The new door

Here's what the new door looks like. I've not yet got new blinds for it; I'm making do with what was on the slider for now (four sliding sections).

No more tree!

In late September, I had the large tree next to the house removed. See the large pile of mulch stuff in the below photo, to the left of the front walk? There used to be a really, really big tree there. Now there is this really strange phenomenon going on in my house. It's called sunlight in the dining room.

I swear, I didn't touch the nip, man!

Spaz has reservations about the structural integrity of this wall. Or is it the wall that's holding him up? Maybe a little too much catnip for the Spaz Beau.

How much for the Spaz in the window?

I finally have a new door to replace the plywood, but I don't have a photo of it yet. We installed two replacement windows the same day. Spaz models them for you here. They are much warmer and more sound proof, which is nice, since Valley Rd. can be busy.

Jack likes David Ev@nier's work

Here's Jack. He's trying to be helpful by sitting on a manuscript that I was working on. The book is The Gre@t Kisser by D@vid Ev@nier. Jack really liked it. It will be released in a few days and is available on r@germedia.com. (To navigate to the web page, replace the @ with an a.)
