Zoey gets fixed on Monday. She passed five months old last Monday, and has definitely matured at least in the grownup teeth department, but she's not all that much bigger now compared to a month or even two months ago. She may just wind up being a tall, kinda kompakt kitty with a bigass tail.

The kid has tomorrow off, so she had her posse over from 4:00 until a few minutes ago. The missus and I just got home ourselves from something kinda sad with a lining of sweet, which I won't go into because there's been quite enough of That Sort Of Thing on this journal in recent weeks.

On the other hand, in honor of Veterans Day, I will be working tomorrow, like most veterans, unfortunately, will also be doing.

I will also be feeding aminals in about eight hours, so gnight one and all:)
