stuff and what a nightmare couple months

god, i feel like there's barely been breathing room for the last two-ish months

tony's leg/back issues have improved dramatically since his surgery. at his post-op, his surgeon was really happy with his progress. he's still using a cane, but he's able to generally move/get around pretty well and is able to drive again. he gets some electric jolts in his sciatic nerve sometimes, but it's not crippling. his spine will still be healing for a bit, but hopefully things level out

work has been work. i applied for the marketing assistant position, but i doubt i'll hear anything soon (even tho it's been up for 30~ days so far) b/c of the holidays and it's just a slow process in libraries to begin with. our part-timer (benjamin) moved to goodyear to go full-time, which is pretty cool for him

kitten situation (as seen from my pic-a-day posts lol) is here to stay. oryx has been getting bigger and lankier, losing her baby teeth (three so far!), learning her name, harassing tony with affection, playing fetch with q-tips and fluorescent mice, learning not to bolt out the front door, sleeping above our heads in bed, had her first chatter, has been trying out meows, seems to like to hiss/growl to play, and has generally been a delight to have

she's still learning a lot of things the big cats know not to do, but she's been pretty good so far. she likes sitting on the side of the tub and watching the water/bubble. i brought in a bunch of crunchy leaves to put in her playpen and she fuckin' loved that shit. she'd mrrl at me to bury her in the leaves so she could 'ambush' me

beans is still not a fan, and she likes to chase him down, but they're tolerating each other. i've seen her and finn kinda play a little, but it's not often (he's usually sleeping tbh) and it's mostly finn just trying to stand on her

she is, weirdly, not treat-motivated. any i've offered her she hasn't wanted. she DOES like churu, tho

we didn't plan to get another cat, but the cat distribution system told us now was the time apparently. she's been a good distraction/something to focus on with all the chaos, though

i just recently got over a pretty gnarly two-week sinus/cold thing. basically had to go home early for three days in a row (i'm at 12 'occurrences' over a 52-week period......) and one day i stupidly took nighttime meds and had to go into work and i don't recommend that to anyone
