I told Twitter my thoughts about the election and my feelings on the coming year. Now I actually have to start worrying about other things, like the year-end chair report and handover notes and finishing up all the work before I run, screaming calmly vacate my chair for some other sucker vibrant, energetic new leader.

Now I'm admitting the truth behind some of my absence: a kitten. Yes, my OTW work was so stressful I chose a kitten. Not a tumblr kitten, or a kitten video: an actual kitten.

Kitten! )

Pash doesn't enjoy stillness so much; I caught her mid-stretch here. She is not diseased, so the vet says, so we're keeping her. She has so much energy and of course we can't let her have the run of the apartment yet because Vox might eat her. I can already see Vox plotting her death when she even gets a whiff of her presence. Loki, of course, doesn't care much as long as Pash leaves him be. He's so Zen. Why can't Vox be Zen? No, instead, she needs Prozac. Sigh.

She looks like a Vox/Loki combo which is hilarious considering Vox is way more likely to chew Loki's face off than ever have kitty sexy times with him.

On the way to becoming a crazy cat lady, although I don't know what to say about [personal profile] zachariah in that case. He totally enabled me by getting all fond when he played with her.

Yay, kitten. :)
