Two pictures of Babe playing last night:

Today's photo-a-day is a quick snapshot of something that arrived in the mail today - my imp's ears from BPAL. Frankly, I don't actually care very much. A month ago, I'd have been glad to see them, give or take a day. Today? Um. I'll enjoy them some other time. I'm not in the mood to play with smellies, nor to taunt my allergies at all, and I'm too upset to fuss through them. Plus I have to go back and look at the notes for each one before I'll know which to try first when I am in the mood anyway. Anyway, the photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyrielle/354504588/
Uploaded a bunch more of Dad's photos, this time of the maples coming down (and a couple of cats). They are still uploading as I post this, there are 11 to go, so if you see this real soon after it goes up you may miss some. But I'm off to bed, so posting now. Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyrielle/archives/date-posted/2007/01/11/ to see them (and the three photos linked above, but such is life). (I am putting comments on photos so it may be worth reading some of them, though the 'maple down' batch of 15 has the same comment repeated, except for two that have additional commentary right at the front.)
Also in today's mail, I got the paperwork officially saying I'm the personal representative for the estate. So I need to get a number of things done tomorrow so that I have an account to pay their bills from, and so on. Bleh. Well, no, seriously, bleh. Now I have two months to work out what the value of everything was at the time of my Dad's death. And I don't want to, because I still want to go back in time and somehow save him. I know. Irrational. But it's easy to face the day-to-day necessities and hard to face the probate-related ones. (Some days, it's easy to face the 'memory' aspects - and others it's not. I try to do memories and photo uploads of Dad's stuff and so on when I'm up for facing them. Alas, I really need to deal with the legalities whether I'm ready or not.) I already warned them I may work only a half-day tomorrow - before I got home and found that yes, the paperwork had arrived. I don't know if the afternoon alone is enough time for me to get enough accounts straightened out to pay the bills and all, but I'll give it a shot. Meh.
More fun playing with Babe and Basta tonight. Basta is mostly a cuddle-bug but will sometimes play lazily (hard to believe this is the same mighty huntress who would try to catch birds on the wing when she was a young cat - and who was very good at catching birds not on the wing - even well into 'old age' she did this, but I don't think in the last 5 years or more - after all she IS 20). Babe, on the other hand, will go crazy-kitty, as the earlier photos show. She did again tonight but I didn't have a camera on her this time. Oh well!
Also reread most of The Black Gryphon. Not the most useful way to spend the evening in one sense, but good for de-jangling my nerves, so there's really a lot to be said for that.
