Holy cow, when you say move out of your schoolroom, you mean it! I had no idea you had to use so much of your own stuff, even a desk? My sisters always had a lot to bring home over the summer, but never to such extent. I am glad to hear you are done with it and looking forward to other "venues." At least your colleagues are supportive.

Maybe the new kitty will be prettier once she fattens up a bit.:-) Ya know, grow into the pointy chin, rounding it out a bit, have a waist that vies with the large ears as to which sticks out more, etc. Good luck with finding her a good home, unless of course, Mama Kitty takes her on and won't let you send her away, with Neko coming round. *meow*

Take care,
