So, still have all 3 kittens. They are wonderful, but I wouldn't complain if someone wanted to take 1 or 2 just due to effort needed by one guy who isn't home as much as they'd like. LOTS more pictures posted in the kitteh area. They had so much fun with the bubble-wrap! Today when I let them out of the basement (so I don't have to constantly be protecting the few remaining plants and other breakable items in the house), only 2 appeared though the 3rd was audible... then I noticed the ceiling panels were bowing one by one. Q-Bert was trapped up there! It was hilarious - no idea how she did it, but the other 2 were fascinated watching me try to pull her out. They've gotten big enough that they're no longer as scared of the Roomba, mostly just annoyed by it (Baxter plays chicken with it, too).
My non-working life has been full - weekly game nights with friends, swing dance lessons and parties (no, still a newb at it!), weekly ultimate (frisbee) games, and lots of ad-hoc events mean there's never a dull moment. In fact, I miss my neighbors! Cooking more at home, using the kitchen. Finished the Harry Potter book (I don't usually put a book on pause to read another, but so many people were talking about it, I felt peer pressure to read before major plot points were revealed. I loved the book, but can tell that it's a kids book as knowing these plot points can ruin it whereas the "adult" books I read doesn't really matter as much what happens, it's all about the journey).
Better call it a day, but there are still pics from Spain to arrive next (so close to being caught up!). Thanks for your patience and for reading!
