There is no group next Monday. Thanksgiving vacation. Plans call for me flying to LA on Thursday for 3 nights. It will be nice to be leisurely so I can spend some time on my own instead of feeling tied to the apartment.
Huzzah!! I am started on the process of having a trust/will/financial plan created. First meeting with the very nice attorney who is working with Elinor. She is a former sociology professor before law school, and is an expert on the politics of the religious right in America. wow. i borrowed a copy of one of her four books.

i'm seriously thinking about getting a custom cat tree for Ketzl, who is meowing in the background, wanting to go out at night but he won't any more tonite. there is a custom outfit and it would be real wood, no glue and sturdy. now the flimsy ones we got when he was little sport extra posts held together with bungee cords, propped with boxes, shims, etc. i feel as though he needs extra stuff cuz i am gone all day. now he is playing in the paper in a large packing box. more meowing. ketzl got into a bit of a tussle in the grass outside this morning. good thing i had the door open so i was able to react quickly when i heard the yowls. nice tricolor long hair was the adversary who ran away quickly. it was a heated exchange.
livi texted that there was snow in DC today. we are both such Calif. girls. i called as she was dressing to go see the Israeli Philharmonic and she said the snow lasted all of 5 minutes. hey, flakes is flakes. ok, flakes are flakes. shelley says it is cold and wet and also snow. but they are used to it in ohio. tomorrow's highs in the high 60's. it is California, after all. we will put up with chilly mornings and evenings.
