Insomnia strikes!

And I am now awake, and can't get back to sleep.

I'm in an odd mood. I think I'm in a place of emotional flux and change. I've moved the last of my stuff out from my room in Oxford, and now I really am living with jez. It's not a temporary arrangement. It's long term, I've nowhere else where I live, and while that's nice, it's kind of scary.

We've also been looking at kittens. I miss having a cat. I really really do. On the other hand, now I've found a breeder who has said she'll reserve me a pair of kittens for November, I'm panicking. Kittens mean settling, they mean solidity. They mean not taking off around the world (although I've now tied myself down to two years of education, so I can't do that anyway) and if they are joint owned kittens, then that's a statement about the relationship.

Odd. And scary.

Kittens, and HAPPY thoughts

( Did I mention that there's this Play-Yourself game going on? Well, we played last night... )

Erm. Yes. So. Moving on...

pierot and I have been given the option of kittens. I've been speaking by a nice lady who breeds Cornish Rex cats, which are cats with very short and curly coats which in the past have been shown to not affect people with mild allergies to cat as they don't shed really, and can't spread their fur and dander about as much. We're going to meet the parent cats and the kittens and see how his breathing goes. If he gets the whole aching lung thing, then no cats. If it doesn't affect him, then Debbie (the nice lady with the cats) is keeping aside two of the kittens for us.

I'm now pondering. I've missed having a cat. I like cats. I like them a lot. On the other hand, having cats would mean that some of our friends who do have severe allergies are not going to be able to visit. It means that we aren't going to be in a position to say 'sod it' and take off around the world. On the other hand, there would be cats, and I really do like cats. I'm still pondering.

Oh - I have pics of the kittens at the moment. They were only born a couple of days ago, so are very little.
