Whirlwind

Greetings from Emily. I think she looks comfy in this photo. :) Perhaps she wants her tummy fur to be admired? Life got "exciting" after our last post. I was on vacation when a coworker called me at home to let me know that admin was restructuring. The day after I got back to work my department had a meeting. In brief, I still get to work but we have a lot more responsibility. I'm already feeling overwhelmed.

Today my area had its first snow fall. It seems a bit early to me. Or maybe it is only our last winters have been very mild and I'm spoiled now.

Willow is enjoying a new crinkle toy I found at a local pet store. At first, I didn't think they liked it. When I saw her lounging in a sunbeam with the new toy in front of her, I knew it wasn't a total waster of money. Emily and Willow were both very comforting when I got sick a couple of days after the big work meeting. I can't figure out whether it was a bad cold or a mild case of the flu. Except for a lingering cough and fatigue I feel better. They were snuggle bugs and stuck with me while I hacked, sneezed, and snoozed on the sofa for several days.

I will close with this photo of a cardinal I saw on my walk last week. The fresh autumn air actually helped me feel better for a while. Here is hoping life settles down (oh, please, just a dull, uneventful week or two) soon. Take care and hug your felines.
