I was waiting all my life to find my home

1. I have a new phone. It was impossible to transfer any of my data—including talismanic text messages—because my old phone belonged to a generation that didn't back up to the cloud, but I have been told that I might be able to get pictures and texts off it by plugging it into my computer and treating it as a USB drive. I'm willing to give it a shot. There are messages on that thing I do not want to lose. Anyway, new phone. It is a newer vintage, but suitably archaic and flip-top and doesn't know from internet. I am much happier with it than I could have been.

2. By the end of this week, we will have kittens.

I am simply very happy with that.

They are so very good for the brain, I think.

I grew up in a house with three cats. Then my mother's allergies worsened to the point where, when the last cat died, we could either get a new cat or we could keep my mother; we kept my mother, but then I was in college and graduate school and never lived anywhere I could get a cat, and then I was ill for a long time and living with my parents again and a cat was right out. Now I live somewhere stable and healthy and, most importantly, cat-friendly according to the lease and the landlord's consent (and a rather unbelievable pet deposit, but we are prepared to deal with it) and we will be picking up the kittens later this afternoon. I'm really looking forward.

I look forward to pictures!

There will definitely be pictures!

(Rob took some already of the kittens when they were being fostered. If you can't see them, ping him until he puts you on the filter.)
