And amazingly the past week or so has shown me how much Sofi has been boycotting me since the kitten's arrival.
She has resumed playing FETCH which she has stopped altogether.
She has resumed napping and sleeping with me. She had stopped napping with me altogether and slept grudgingly at my feet while the kitten would climb purring and settle on top off me.
She has resumed taking her place by me or by the vent when I am using the computer.
and a new twist as she now sits in my lap....a lot...which is a nice change.
Gadget has not only found TV
(...and I'm hearing David Bowie singing China Girl)
And enjoyed The World Series (with chips)
...but also learned to play fetch (presumably from watching Sofi) and John can toss a toy mouse or crumpled paper ball down the stairs and she will bring it back up to him.
"AGAIN!!!"

Best of all is when we are having morning coffee online...this pops upon my screen...
And Sofi has once again taken her place as rightful Queen of The Manor and seems fairly happy about it!
Annual Chili Supper and Scary Movie
Admiring the trick or treat black tree that Nicki had decorated with netting and spooky stuff and rubber skeletons of spiders and bats and birds and rats and human bones...including a grinning skull for a topper! Strung with orange and purple lights.
It was a lot of fun...
And there was freezing cold (24 degrees) and our first snowfall!
Little frozen vampires and skeletons and unicorns at the door.
Candy leftover for the first time ever!!!
The chili was WONDERFUL (as always)
The MOVIE of the night was the latest
ZOMBIELAND 2
and she had made coffee and iced pumpkin bread for afters!
The very best part for me was when we were all gathered in the living room watching the movie.
EVERYONE
Even Nacho (the one-eyed Pomeranian) and Franco (the newly acquired cat)
laughing at the antic of Woody Harrelson, warm, full of chili and maybe chocolate...
FAMILY
and all was right with the world, for that moment.
A few hours sleep and suddenly it was
The chipped pumpkin orange nail-polish now looking...well...just chipped...gaudy and orange.
I learned that wearing facial masque for 3 hours straight leaves your skin soft as a baby's butt...so there is THAT,
And I was pretty useless for the entire day.
Woke way too late (almost 11) this morning with Sofi standing on my chest
"Are you going to feed me..or WHAT???"
~Sofi
And a slow start to
(...how nice...they seemed to have named a day for me...)
But while Mexicans everywhere are honoring their dead...I'm working on this house so people won't think I have...
Died, that is...
A Cinderella Day filled with dusting and scrubbing and laundry and dishes...stripping the bed and fresh sheets...and later a good bath!
Let the Holiday Season begin!
More Anon....
