You know I really appreciate all the support I've gotten from all of you.  I
may not be around as much as I used to, but I think of all of you nearly
every day.  Hopefully my life will settle down (finally) in the next few
weeks and I can get back to being a proper Catslave.

First the kitties.  Spooky turned 2 years old on Aug 16, Shinobu turned 17
last March and Dorrie turned 12.  Lucy Fur will be 6 on October 8.  I can't
believe I've had Spooky that long already!  He's a big, black, furry beast
whose favorite food is french fries..

I've been offered temporary full time at my job.  He's only guarenteeing it
through October.  I am hoping that my performance will convince him to hire
me as his Production Manager.  He is considering it so we shall see.  The
money isn't really good right now, but if I get the PM job, it should be
decent wages anyway.

Yes I lost a lot of money this week.  I sure didnt' need that setback, but I
am doing my best to rally and am hoping that this is the last of my
horrendous bad luck streak that started a couple of years ago.  I am
confident that all your purrs and prayers mitigated all the terrible things
that could have happened to me and I really feel quite lucky to count all of
you as friends.

I should have a new place to live in the next month and hopefully my house
will be sold by then as well.  My, but life can change drastically in the
blink of an eye!  I can't wait to move though, I feel that it will be
closure to a chapter in my life that is now through.

We have been purring and praying for all of you in need, even if I haven't
directly responded to you.  I do read the group nearly every day and I do
chat with many of you on Yahoo IM.

Please remember me in your purr vigils, so that all goes well for the next
few months so I can finally get back on my feet and get back to normal (or a
reasonable imitation thereof).

Purrs and Prayers
