We have a new black female kitten named Sprite to keep Sadie company and to be her playmate- they are slowly getting used to each other, and tired each other out yesterday by running and chasing and playing.

We have a new couch- it is sage green with two tan accent pillows and a red “pop†pillow with a beautiful design on it. The couch is micro-fiber so spills clean up better. The old futon and cider blocks are gone- thank goodness- now there is something to relax and watch tv on that is comfortable in our apartment, though we spend more time sitting in candlelight with the radio on to the Martini playing Frank. Our apartment is much cleaner now, without the 40 square feet of recyclable boxes, and without the things we donated to charity and the other things we recycled. It looks like the apartment of a new married couple instead of two college vagabonds.

I decided to get my hair cut so that I can try to look less like dull drab woman and more like a young women of my age and culture. With that, piece by piece, parts of my wardrobe need a bit of modernizing as well. Sara helps me with both of those, and Doug grins at the results, and it feels to me that I am adding a freshness to the way I present myself to other people in my profession.
