digging out

[seldear]

So, I've started cleaning my room, prepartory to selling a whole lot of stuff and throwing out even more.

Along the way, I found:

- a battery charger for which I bought a replacement just this morning
- wedding invitations dating back to 2005 (azheva and laughinghatter's)
- wedding invitations dating back to 2001? (aldiara and alsha's)
- a 'homework booklet' from my Yr 12 English teacher that she gave the class upon our graduation in 1994
- 15 years' worth of Christmas cards
- 15 years' worth of postcards
- a helluvalotta hair
- way more autographs and photographs than I know what to do with

I haven't even started in on the BPAL collection (it's all going into a box and I'll sort it from there).

There are some things I don't know what to do with - like the cat comb (*sniffle*), more cards and postcards of places I've visited than I'll ever send out (anyone want one?), and bubblewrap enough to package my bed in.

I should start tidying up the clothes on my bed tonight. Work out what's winter wear and what's summer and put the summer stuff away...

Sometimes I still expect to see her when I come home. Or have to remind myself that I can close the door and she won't come scratching.

It's quiet about the house without her. Takes some getting used to.

And today, in the pet shop, I saw the most adorable black and white shorthair. His name was Zorro and he's a rescuee. I was very tempted. But I'm thinking that I need to talk to the sistren about another cat - because the last one was mine, but the next two need to belong to the household. Which will be a tricksy thing to get past B2.

Gosh...that sounds quite...

Never mind.

She's not a cat-lover?

Behave, Daz.

B2 is a cat-lover...she's just not the kind of person who wants to help pay for food, litter, and vet bills, let alone help look after the cat.

I know what I did with some of my left over kitty food, etc...took it to the local humane shelter.

Of course, for me, I knew i wouldn't be getting another cat, you might be different, and if you think you might get another one, then it's just stuff to hold onto so you don't have to rebuy it

Oh, shelters! That's an idea. Although I'm not sure the humane shelters will accept donations like that here in Australia. May have to call and find out.

Also, the food was 'senior food' for cats, so even if we got a new kitty, it probably shouldn't be fed the same food.

I don't think I knew that we graduated in the same year! It seemed like a large majority of "our group" graduated the year we all started chatting.

Keep the comb maybe. I kept Annie's collar and it's still sitting up on my bookshelf.
