Quickie update

Grandma's funeral was yesterday. It was very nice, and the ladies of her church put out a truly yummy spread for lunch. I think I could live on cheese and deviled eggs. We had a fairly large turnout, compared with other elder funerals I've been to. My grandma was very loved and well thought of.

I just finished 'A Great and Terrible Beauty' and need to go buy the companion book 'Rebel Angels'. Also, Cassie Clare's book is out and I have to decide if I want to get it. (Listens to hear if the hisses outweigh the squees, or vice versa.) I want to read 'Ironside', but it won't be out until the end of April. Bugger. I want Roiben!

That's all for now. I think it's time for a swim. :D

When It Rains It Pours

We got a call from the cat sitter. Mom's kitty, Punkin, was not doing well. The sitter took her to the emergency vet and ultimately Mom decided to put her down. She's 18 and has gone from 6 lbs. as of last October to just over 3 lbs. now. *sniffles* Punkin is the sweetest little cat. I'll miss her very much.

I also got a call from James letting me know that he's had to press charges against a boy Meredith knows. Meredith had told this boy that she didn't want to talk to him anymore and later James reinforced the message. Still, this kid has followed her to and from school, and the other night he grabbed her by the neck when she tried to walk away from him. When he followed her to school, the security officer saw him with a box cutter. Last night Mer spotted him waiting in the neighborhood for her to come home, and she had to wait until he gave up (at 11:30!) to get to the house. So, James called Mer's dad and they talked to the police. The kid will be picked up for assault and stalking. I'm not sure if he's 18 or not, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be charged as an adult or a child. *headdesk* Meredith hangs out with such winners.

Tomorrow we are giving this computer to my grandmother's church, so after that I won't be able to go online until I get home. I'll miss you all!
