Day two... learning to work the laptop

First I pulled off some files from the desktop with the help of StarWalker BitCat the ComputerKitty (hey, this computer has to learn the spelling of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde's names!).  He began by sitting by my chair since my therapist had stolen 'his' chair (bad, bad therapist!!).  Then he hopped up to the back of my chair so he had a good view of the monitor.  He slithered down the arm into my lap for petting's and purrs until I actually began burning the cd.  You see, Star has to supervise anything involving cds.  It's terribly important that he check out a cd going into the computer and coming out!!

Now I have Thomas laying beside me to ensure that the laptop is working properly.  He has made sure that all of the cds have been correctly installed on this computer.  Thank goodness that I have such helpful cats!!

Long time...no write!

On January 4th I had a total knee replacement on my left knee.  Since then I've been recovering with my four boys helping me out.  Unfortunately, until today, I've only had my desktop!  Right now, Sir Thomas of Snuggle is being distracted by my son so that he doesn't get on top of the laptop!  Since I pulled it out of the box he has thought that he should be 'playing' on it rather than me.  ::grin::  His brother Zaphoid Beeblebrox thinks, of course, that he should be at the end of the bed having his ears cleaned.  I'm going to leave you with this for now... I have to finish setting up, getting pictures onto this computer, programs on here, find a mouse, etcetera etcetera, etcetera!

Happy New Year!!

We stayed home so that I wasn't exposed to any germs.  Once my husband was asleep, Thomas decided that I was the driveway.  You see, Thomas enjoys entertaining you by rolling back and forth on the driveway.  So he was rolling back and forth on me, wriggling with joy, when I noticed (ouch!) that his nails needed a trim.  Fortunately I know how to do that by cutting the clear part of the nail and not the white. 

So I clipped his nails and he settled into the crook of my arm. Ah, baby Thomas.  ::snicker::  While my husband is playing with moving our bed, the cats are being conspicuously absent.  I'm not sure where three of them are, but Star is in here, creeping about until he found a box lid to sit in.  I've work to do myself.  I hope that everyone had a safe and happy New Year's celebration!!
