Nicole's Notes

Looks like I might actually be able to go back to work in the foreseeable future. Just in time to take off for my Christmas holiday! Oops.

Today was the first day in a week I was actually able to open my mouth wide enough to thoroughly brush my teeth. Let me tell you, it felt glorious. It's bizarre how the little things make life better.

The Xmas gifts I ordered online have been arriving. It's such fun to get stuff in the mail, even when they're not, technically, for me. I'm not sure how I'll get it all to Toronto, but I'm sure I'll work something out.

I bought some books for myself (using the gift certificate Jason got me for my birthday). I tried to find something along the lines of "What to expect when your cat is expecting", but no such luck. Books about holistic pet care, books about how to adopt a cat, books about caring for aging cats, but nothing about pregnant cats. So I bought a couple of general cat books. The Humane Society book is good, but has nothing about pregnant cats. Lots of info about having your cat fixed though. Go figure.

They also had elaborate instructions on how to make an outdoor cat into an indoor cat. Huh. We just brought her indoors. There. Done. She's shown no interest in returning to the wide wide world (especially since it snowed), although she does want to explore the rest of the house (we're keeping her on the first floor only - I have no desire to wake up with a cat on my head).
