Having fun in San Diego
I'm visiting some friends in San Diego, and having a blast so far. Last night we went to a club downtown to see a good '80s cover band, and I wasn't driving so I could get good and drunk (but not drunk enough to have a hangover - yay). This weekend we are also going to the Wild Animal Park and a winery. So it will be a full weekend, and one I don't want to end.
Meanwhile, I have decided to be just friends with Mr. NY. We have differing philosophies about how obligatory our chats are, plus I want to give him the option to have kids, and I don't really want them. I thought I would grudgingly agree to have kids with the right person, but I've reconsidered that.

dating
datingWell, Mr. NY is letting me down. He missed a prearranged online chat session Sunday night. No explanation. And he is acting as if he is not getting any of the displeased e-mails I have sent him, including one in which I said I didn't think we would work out if he couldn't be counted on to keep his promises. (This is the second chat session he has missed.) He is still e-mailing me all happy and breezy and obliviously. So I tried sending him a message from one of my other e-mail addresses - we'll see if he gets THAT one. Grrrr. I thought I had broken free of him, but he doesn't seem to be getting the message - literally!
I think I'm going to give up on dating and just concentrate on my cat. At least I can always depend on him!

I've met a guy online I really like. He lives in New York now, but is moving here to Arizona as soon as he sells his house. He's a lot older than me - 52 - and black, so my parents might freak. But who cares? :-)
He's very handsome and well-spoken, and he loves cats, just like I do. I can't wait to meet him. We talk just about every day, either on the phone or through instant messaging. He seems sensitive and sweet, with a great sense of humor, all criteria that I think are musts. He doesn't seem that much older than me. We really seem to click.
About the only thing I don't like is that he wants to have kids, and I would prefer not to. But if he is otherwise the perfect person, I would make the sacrifice to have kids, and I'm sure motherhood would grow on me.

Giving up on leash-training my kitty
Tags: murray leash-training
murrayleash-trainingI had gotten a walking jacket for Murray, to try to leash-train him. At first he seemed to be getting used to the jacket, and I had some hope. But now he's decided that when I put it on him (which he's started fighting), he'll just lie down in the same place where I put the jacket on him, and he won't move until I take it off. That pretty much defeats the purpose of the jacket, so I'm going to send it back. I guess Murray is just too old (six or seven) and set in his ways to be taught. Too bad. I was hoping to expose him again to the sights and sounds and smells of the great outdoors, which he's been deprived of since he stopped being a stray and moved in with me. But, oh well, I guess he's adjusted very well to being an indoor kitty, so hopefully he doesn't feel like he's missing out on anything.

My vet says not to worry about Murray's patch of thinning fur. He said the change in seasons may be a factor (though it doesn't SEEM to be getting any cooler, LOL). The vet must be honest, because if he really wanted my money, he would play upon my fears and act all concerned and say that a bunch of expensive tests needed to be run.
So - I will just keep an eye on things and TRY not to worry! :-)
Today I'm just working a half-day, and the first thing I will do when I go in will be to go to lunch. A FREE lunch - the bosses are treating us today as a thank-you for all our hard work on getting the new layout system up and running. Free lunch rocks.
