Nov. 4th, 2006 08:15 amThank you all for being so sweet and supportive. After two days of feeling bleak and tearful, I'm good again. I slept a lot, and C has been lovely.
It snowed yesterday and the trees outside are sprinkled with white.
Felix is in my arms playing with a straw, as I write this. He was perfect at the vet's. Like with Fisen, the vet* commented on what a sweet tempered cat we had, and that he rarely had cats come in that let themselves handle that well. Good news is that the tail problem isn't serious and that Felix is in a very good condition for his age.
This was the first time the Bonesy boy was alone. He was soooooo happy to see Felix again. Waited outside the cat carrier until Felix was let out and then he followed him around like a big grey shadow, nuzzling and sniffing him, until Felix started to feel stalked.
The glass fusing course afterward was a bit...uhmm...blah. We suddenly found out Thursday that the course was in another city, which means that we have 30-45 mins drive each way. The teacher has experience with glass in general, but almost no experience with fusing. The lesson was too long, and the school has no fusing oven. Instead there is an ancient clay oven, where the teacher is still struggling to hit the right temperature for fusing. And there is very little theory, which is okay if you're taking the class just to get a few small decorative items to take home, but not okay if you actually want to know what you are doing and why something worked while something else didn't.
I haven't been writing and the apartment looks like a bombsite. I want to tidy it before C comes home from work, he's been having some rough days working and taking care of me.
----------------------------------
*When the vet found out that I was from Denmark, he started gushing about Danish bread, more or less saying that it was probably the best in the world. That earned him an extra star in my book. He already has a lot because of the way he handles the cats, taking his time with them and not using force.
