NOMI IS TWO!

Nomi's photo from the Humane Society

Nomi came into my life in August, after many cats.  Yes, too many.  There was Boo Radley, who was the best of the best.  Then Esme, and then Auggie.  And then I promised everyone to stop getting cats. And I immediately adopted another cat.  But this time, it was a great match.  Nomi is an incredibly sweet soul and I am so glad that she is in my life.

Now all I know is she was born around March; so I decided that today is her 2nd birthday.  She didn't get a cake, but she got some extra loving and even MORE playtime, if that is possible.

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NOMI!  (I still can't believe I own a cat)

Nomi's first couple of days were spent in the bathroom

But she soon got used to the apartment.

And she finally slept next to me. (I still can't get her
to sleep in my lap, but next to is a good enough).

She spent a lot of time the first week behind the
DVD player.  She was only 7 lbs so she could squeeze in.  She's now 8 lbs and can't fit in there :)

Television fascinates her.

She even traveled with me to Florida,
where she spent the most of her time
under the bed.  Or in front of the window
 staring at totally different stuff from New York

She's gotten a little chunky but she is quite regal.

And she plays fetch.  But sometimes she purposely
 tosses her paper ball under things just to get at them.

And I still love her.

Sleeping on the MTA

Last night coming back on the A train I fell asleep. Which actually is normal. I however normally wake up a couple of stops before mine. This time I didn't. Now my stop is the absolutely last stop on the A. So luckily it wasn't that big deal. However what was disturbing is that the subway cop had to wake me up. Thankfully he just lightly touched my shoulder. The other people sleeping in my car were men and he woke them by banging his baton against the poles.

Now today on the express bus to the UES I fell asleep in the bus. Which is pretty normal. However this time if it wasn't for a a quick eye peek I almost missed my stop.

I guess the moral of this story is I am f***ing tired.

Addendum
Fell asleep on the express bus coming back and missed my stop entirely and am now touring Riverdale and Yonkers. I'll get home in about another hour...
