madam/sir

let me do the math... it's 2013 now and back in... 2006(?) i was first invited to go to berlin. yes, i think it was 2006. so it's been 5 years.

BUT good news!!! my travel has been approved for a trip to berlin (i assume a week long) the first week in february. i have two new colleagues starting so we're having a team meeting. i'm really glad because in person meetings are always the best way of getting to know each other. i just have to get a letter from my midwives to confirm that i'm well and healthy enough to fly. the head of HR doesn't want to risk being accused of 'making' me travel if i'm unfit.

i guess this means i need to get around to de-stinkafying my backpack after that cat pee incident. it fell pretty far down on my to-do list. i'm hoping it's not too late to salvage it.

i have a feeling that it may be extra hard being away from b during this stage in life, but we'll be fine. i just hope i don't feel the baby kick for the first time while we're apart.

you're a golden beam breaking into the ocean deep.

Great post! One of my 2 cats (both neutered males) had taken to painting all of my walls, furniture, and anything else he could reach. I was horrified when I got a UV light. He never did that in all of the 9 years I've had him and didn't when I got him a buddy (they love each other and did so right away) but when a strange black cat started showing up outside both of my cats went nuts and the older one (9) started his wall painting, as well as the curtains out in the kitty room. I couldn't keep up with it.

My cats are indoor cats so it's not like the stray is actually going to get in here but they both hate him (and he is weird...my neighbor's cats hate him too). I've tried cleaning with a pet urine enzyme and then spraying some "No More Spraying" but that hasn't worked.

He's a sneaky little bugger too; he waits until he thinks I'm not looking and then does it. He's learned that the minute I see him backing his butt up to something he gets yelled at. It wasn't until I found "Cat Spraying No More" that I was able to finally get rid of this tiresome behavior. Now my house doesn't smell like a litter box anymore :)

Here's a link the their site if you're interested in checking it out, I highly recommend this: http://nomorecatpee.com
