A few random notes, since I haven't blogged in almost a month, but I've installed blogger on my phone so I may post more often.
We got ourselves a little Muppet, his name is Tony but we don't like that name so we just call him T. I've missed having a cat around, and T fulfills the emptiness that leaving Duke behind made. We went to a shelter called The Lost Dogs Home. The Lost Dogs Home has kitty condos, where the litter is in a hole in the wall, so they can have privacy while doing their business. They have dogs, puppies, cats, kittens and even horses. I was allowed to hold any cat/kitten I wanted to, and I held many to compensate the missing of my NY babies. We then turned the corner and saw more adult cats, and then I saw this cute little face, and knew I just had to have him, he had the sweetest face and I told my husband, I want him, not "can we take him home" but a firm, decisive I know what I want and I want this little muffin. So we, meaning me, adopted little Tony, they were having a half off deal, where all animals were only $70. The fee covers the desexing, or spay/neuter in the States, which was already done and the micro-chip, a requirement in Australia. Owning animals is different here then in NY, all animals must have tags, no ifs and or buts. Brisbane City Council sends you the official tags, in the meantime we're getting him used to wearing a collar, he's not happy about wearing one. T is a handful, running around like a loon. He's so full of energy as many kittens are, and he loves his new toy, shoelaces. We bought him these boot laces that are yellow and black and he carries it in his mouth to you, because he wants to play.
I got my drivers' license!!!! Well, I went to the Department of Transport and waited while the lady transferred my NY license to my QLD license. I still retain my NY one and hopefully sometime next week I should be getting it in the mail, I check the mailbox often as the Post here is worse than in the States. For the new QLD drivers license, you cannot smile, at all, it's a biometric photo and you are not allowed to smile, the same goes for the AU passport, which thankfully I won't have to do as I will retain my US Passport with my lovely smile. :)
I have a cold, thanks to my husband, though it's not as severe as his was, I am congested and have bought Vicks Sinex nasal spray, you have 2 options, eucalyptus or regular menthol, I prefer what I'm used to, so I took the menthol. Kleenex tissues, aloe vera are my best friend, it it gets worse, there's always Robitussin.
