As a federal contractor, the new FY always means a bit of uncertainty and stress as we wait to see if our contract gets funded. We did get funded, but at a reduced level this year, so it's bittersweet. In the current political climate, I think I should be grateful that we got funded at all and that we're unaffected by the current shutdown.
I speak often of peaks and valleys, and I feel I've recently gone through a valley when it comes to my blogging hobby. I have my website to a point where I can just leave it, though, and it's fine. I feel I'm on the upswing, and I'm feeling the blogging muse starting to get restless.
Speaking of hyperfixations... er, hobbies, I guess I'm into aquariums now.
One of our cats died in April — while we were away visiting family, no less. We recently got a new lil baby from an adoption event, though. His name is Orzo, and he's a little lynx-point-colored kitten, and I will post more info soon. See The Goblins for more information.
The weather is cooling off, and I'm really ready for fall weather. I'm ready for sweatshirts and hoodies and dreary, overcast days with a good book.
