Timmy paws

I can't believe I forgot to mention the most interesting thing about Fiona-kitty. I've never seen another other cat do this. (No doubt half a dozen of you will pipe up to say your cat does it.) When she is very happy and relaxed and comfortable, she sits up on her hind legs and holds her front paws together as if holding an acorn, rubbing them together a little bit. To some people this looks like a praying pose (and it does rather resemble Prayer Pose in yoga); I've always seen it as typical squirrel behavior. Fi-cat has done it all her life.

Squirrels--for reasons I will leave to Chris to explain since I'm not sure I know them myself; he's told me, but I keep forgetting--are called "Timmies" around our house. Therefore, this behavior has now acquired the monicker of "Timmy paws".

Lease!

I have here, in my hot little hand, a signed (faxed) lease for my house.
Renters are a couple from California that is moving up here so he can
take a new job. She came on Saturday and looked the place over, went
home and convinced him they wanted it. She called Monday to say "Yes,
please!" but I had left my cellphone at home, so I called her back
Tuesday. I copied a lease off the internet, filled in the blanks and
faxed it to them Tuesday afternoon. He called that night with some
questions. I agreed to both of his (minor) amendments.

Then I spent all of yesterday being twitchy because they hadn't called
or faxed back the lease. Chris told me I wasn't allowed to panic yet; as
Minister of Panic he would tell me when to panic.

Lo and behold, though, when I checked the fax machine this morning, she
had sent it yesterday evening, probably just after I left work. This is
a great relief for the household financial situation. It does, however,
push "finish cleaning out the old place" higher up the priority list.
