The Scene: Clancy relaxes in catloaf position as he looks out the window. I lean on the platform below him with my arms folded underneath me. “Clancy, look! I’m MOMloafing!” “Momloafing isn’t a thing.” “MOMLOAF!” “You’re irritating me.”

As I Was Saying…
“…there is a possibility of seeing some sleet or snow here today. I kind of figured that winter on the east coast does not leave without flipping over another table and smashing a few more bottles on the way out.” Okay, so here in Raleigh winter just sort of tipped over a couple of chairs…
The Raleigh World: Two Months
I’ve sort of ghosted from my humble little blog recently. Sometimes I get so busy living life that I neglect to check in. So what have I been up to in Month Two? Visits to the Farmers Market and Library, so I can nourish my body and feed my curiosity. Also, I was considering…
The Raleigh World: One Month In
Today marks one month since Dos Gatos Locos and I rolled into Raleigh and began making a new home here. As with the day we arrived, today’s weather is warm-ish and rainy (thank goodness it’s light showers and not nearly the gully washer that greeted us). We are settling into life in North Carolina: the…
Day Three In Raleigh
Yesterday afternoon I unrolled the yoga mats and did my first practice in the new apartment. I had to get up around 2:30 a.m. to confiscate the Boys’ ping pong ball. The air mattress may have another leak in it. I heard Charlie digging around on it a couple of times yesterday. We’ll all be…
Alameda To Raleigh: Day Six
Y’all. I just drove from California to North Carolina. With two cats. And one very understanding and awesome friend. We got to the apartment a bit after 3:00 this afternoon, but not before driving through the heaviest rain I remember driving in. In the 13-1/2 years I’ve had Luna, I never once had the windshield…
Alameda to Raleigh: Day Five
Yes, I had to look that up because I’m not even sure what day it is anymore. Today was all about the rain and trying to keep the tarp secured. Solid rain all the way from Memphis until we were about 20 minutes west of Nashville, with a billowing tarp that was making me hella…
Alameda to Raleigh: Day Four
After last night’s drama, today was relatively peaceful. I elected to skip the gabapentin dosing for Charlie and Clancy since trying to pill them created a lot of stress (not to mention some bloodshed on my part). Without the drugs, the Boys handled the 7+ hour drive like seasoned pros (they are telling me they…
Alameda to Raleigh: Day Three
The cat-pilling didn’t go much better today, though I did get most of both in Charlie and one in Clancy. My fingers paid the price, though. Ouch. I was concerned at the lack of litter box use (for #2) and worried that Clancy would have another volcanic blast. But we needed to get going, so…
Alameda to Raleigh: Day Two
Fam. This has not been our best travel day. I pray it’s our worst. 6:00 a.m. Time to give the Boys their pills. Neither one will eat a Pill Pocket, even an empty one. So I spent 15 minutes wrestling with each of them, trying to pill them the old-fashioned way (open mouth, shove pill…
