Athena has stirred up a lot of emotions for a lot of folks. The neighbor downstairs apparently gathered a petition to send to the landlady to get Athena back after hearing that she was released to CSULB campus. She said she has almost 80 people on the petition. (But, shouldn’t the petition came from the people who actually live in the complex?) Another lady who spotted Athena’s listing on Craiglist warned me about a local guy who’d go around “adopting” cats to torture them. Then she continued to help Athena find a home. If I can go get Athena from...

ETA #2: The girls couldn’t place Athena in a shelter so they dumped her at Cal State Long Beach. Apparently there is a ground where people feed all the strays and feral cats. Thanks everyone for the help to try to place Athena in a good home even from the shelter. ETA: The manager came back on Saturday afternoon, and once again lost her shit about the cat. The girls had to take Athena to a shelter straight away. We have all SUNDAY to get her to a home. The girls are going to take her to a shelter on...

According to the girls, the lady lost her shit and...

Athena popped in for a bite. She spent a good 15 minutes after that getting some love from me and Brandon and exploring our place. Keep in mind, this is NOT really our cat. Can you imagine what this blog would turn into when we have our own kittens? LOL. And for the host… Nutella + Strawberry = Awesome. Wish I could add red wine to these fantastic flavors, but I didn’t think my other dinner guest would agree. That other guest is the antibiotics…which I was instructed to take with food. Yes, my darlings. I am back on yet...

Christmas passed away a few weeks ago. What we heard last was that her kidneys had shut down and she refused to eat. Brandon’s mom failed to update us later that they put her down soon after that report. She was 16 years old. RIP Christmas. You will forever be Brandon’s favorite kitten....

It’s beautiful outside. So Cal is having a summer weekend again. Brandon is out and about. But here I am at home. I told you my boss has this coughing cold, right? Of course, I caught it. I was at the office until 9 p.m. last night with a cold in development. I was staying late in hopes that I would get most of the prep work for the Wednesday conference done so I don’t have to go in today or on Monday. I don’t really remember eating the giant cobb salad Brandon brought home for me. I however remember...
