Here’s a funny thing about our kitties: Parker is very social, not afraid of strangers and always getting into things. He’s also incredibly neurotic and clingy. Winnie is skittish and shy and much more methodical. But she’s not a lap cat. She likes to be with the people (that is, Doug and me), but not on the people.
Winnie #1
it’s the week of Winnie. A coworker recently pointed out that I had a lot of pictures of Parker and not so many of Winnie, and accused me of favoritism. This is 100% untrue. The problem is that Winnie tends to hide more, or settle in one spot and stay there, and is not as out and about as Parker is. But she is adorable. Part of it is that her eyes are constantly dilated, which somehow equals “cute helpless kitty.”

We went to the Desert Botanical Garden today. It’s a very cool place anyway; as an informal educator, I really appreciate the thought they’ve put into their designs. But today they were celebrating El Dia de Los Muertos. There were artists and musicians and food, as well as special activities for the kids.

One of the things I did during that first week after we moved was to get a new library card. I’m finding my way in my new library, although the fiction section goes around a few weird corners and is hard to follow. I’m also getting used to the fact that they don’t separate out their genre fiction, and all paperbacks are kept separate. Not big issues, just took a little time.
