Life:
Well hello there! So sorry for disappearing this last week. Life has been...overwhelming. I'm just trying to keep up.
Everyone is ok, thanks goodness. But work has been kicking my a$$, royally. I was charged with, among normal responsibilities, getting a grant out that has seven subcontracts. Anyone who knows grants realizes that is just...crazy. And it was, for over a month, it was crazy!! But the proposal finally went Tuesday afternoon. Then I was faced with catching up with all the stuff I had been putting on hold and, as it's spring, everyone is suddenly chomping at the bit to arrange summer salaries. It's just been...overwhelming and exhausting and just too damn much!! But I'm surviving and my annual review went pretty good. So, it's onward ho!

| Just chill-axin' |
The kitties continue to be awesome! They have truly relaxed and settled in. Though loud noises still scare them, they are much more loving and interactive. We've even had family over to meet them and though they were not friendly, A didn't run and hide (though L did, give it time...). We just started trying to expand their diet from Friskies (essentially kitty McDonalds) to anything else. L is such a poor eater. She is so little. Though A is a much better eater, neither one is shy about turning up their nose and walking away. So, for now, it's Fancy Feast (kitty Applebees?)...with mixed results. L digs the tuna. A, not so much. A likes turkey, L turns and runs. Little steps...
This weekend has been extra special, as I celebrate my 45th birthday. Hubby went out of his way...dinner Thursday, presents and cake, a show Friday (Paul Reiser, very funny!), and another present Saturday. And in light of a good month of 10-11 hour work days, I took tomorrow off (my actual birthday was not doable). So it's not over yet! I plan on spending tomorrow reading and relaxing...
And likely feeling guilt about all the things not getting done at work!
Blogging:
I've got to catch up a bit, complete my April re-cap, my A-Z recap, prepare some posts for the next few weeks. I've just been too worn out when I've gotten home to even focus. Despite my lack of blogging time, I've been reading pretty good, so I was thinking about joining in the Readathon this week...maybe I'll sign up. Or maybe I'll just take part on my own. Who knows?!?
What I Am Reading Today
I was reading How To Build A Girl, by Caitlin Moran, but was having trouble getting into it. So, I switched to a library book I picked up...and I'm almost halfway done in less than a couple days. Funny how things catch your interest like that, huh?!
Hope it's a great week all!
Shannon
