April 23rd, 2002 11:53 amBack at work again - oh, so thrilling. I hope Cassie's OK - she's a bit nervous on her own, although that seems to be mostly at night. She was perfectly happy to spend most of yesterday slumped on the landing only getting up if it looked like someone was going to go into one of the bedrooms so that she could check it out :) I've got Friday off so I can take her to get her tubes tied which'll be nice although I guess we won't get much time together. Still, a relatively quiet weekend (only role-playing and a gig (!) both on Saturday). I bought her a scratching post yesterday which she's already very keen on - she must have had one before or something - but she still doesn't seem to have settled on a particular sleeping place. I've set up a box in the living room with a blanket and some cushions but she's not very interested as yet in that cat way of hers. She eats like a champion though.
So anyway. Weekend. As you might have gathered, spent a lot of it fussing over Cassie and checking she was settling in OK but did fit in one or two other things!
Suz made it round a little later than planned, we drank tea and I started working on a website for her - it's nearly done but we've got to do some work on the photos and stuff before I stick it up there. Marta made it over, with post snacks as usual and we all sat around catching up. I made broccoli and chicken cheese with help from everyone and they even washed up afterwards :) I'm afraid we've become so grown up that we drank no value cola and didn't even play any silly games! We did watch Clueless though, cos it turns out that Marta hadn't seen it. That's a great film :)
More role-playing on Sunday. Cassie showed no interest in coming to roll for her character (I've just acquired a familiar) so I did her roles. Two pretty hefty random encounters but we managed OK. It's always vaguely worrying for me that Ruth can now take 3 hits which would automatically knock me out - she’s on 46HP and I'm on 15! I'm keeping well out of melees - I'm now levelling in wizard so I can zap things from a distance in comparative safety.
Monday, chilled with Cas in the morning then off to do a bit of shopping - a few DIY bits, some cat stuff, nothing exciting. Met up with Alex in the city and bought him home for dinner and TV and hugs. Mmmm. Cas even climbed onto our combined lap at one point :) I can' t wait til I don't have to commute and Alex can stay over if we fancy.
