Tath has settled in, as I can tell by my bouncing bed in the morning.  I wake up suddenly, what is going on?  I have two spring loaded fur balls on top of me, both are busy either batting my face or jumping.  I have to check this out, it is still dark… lights on, 5:30 AM… yes… 5:30 I just checked the clock on the way back to my still moving bed ... And the floor is freezing against my toasty warm feet.  What are they doing?  Duh, they are chasing pompoms, and the bright happy little orbs are flying everywhere… where did they all come from... rolling eyes... write note to self... do not give out so many pompoms to kittens at once.  ENOUGH!  Two fur balls stop for a split second to look at me with black eyes that are sparkling brightly... Oh yes, I am in trouble... when did this happen?  Just at bed time they were hissing at each other and growling because Tath was curled up on the pillow next to my head… No, he will not back down from Thena... And no he doesn’t care if she is double his size at this time, he is a growing boy... beware Thena, I can see a trouncing coming.  Yes, she has a temper and knows how to use it, got a taste of it at the vet’s office when she smacked me with a paw... Yes, I hissed at her and she backed off… I have odds, even if she is the one with claws.  I warned her… I have a cat cage, and I know how to use it.  She hates that cage.  She would much rather be chasing Tath or having him chase her ... No, she is not always nice to him… big bully.  He is just a kitten.

The counter wars are still going on... I have lost 4 water glasses and a couple glass covers so far... I am picking up papers off the floor continuously because she brings pompoms to the table to bat them around amongst the papers.  This morning I poured milk in my cereal, went to put the carton away, and came back to find a pompom in my breakfast (she is quick).  I am happy to report that it was a new pompom and not one that had been mauled.  To tell you who is causing the most mischief, Tath is watching and learning what goes and what doesn’t as Thena gets tossed off the counter, every 3 minutes or more, gets told she is being a bad cat, almost gets sat on when I try to use the facilities, and gets pulled out of my pants so I cam wear them myself after.  Tath often looks at her with this, you should know better look in his eyes… then he goes and steals her food.  He is running around the house looking as if he swallowed a baseball, and he is growing like a weed.

I will have ‘Integration’ finished this afternoon, if all goes well, along with the first chapter of ‘Hunter’s Challenge’.  That means Eniko will find it in DB before the end of the day.  I am then going to spend a few days relaxing, plucking kittens off of me, reading and watching rounds of curling.  By the end of next week I should have the second and third round of edits done on ‘For The King and Elven Empire’ done and it will go for final edits with Sarah.  I would say the house needs a general shake up, but it has had one, now it is time to see if I can put it in order for a few minutes before it all begins again. By this time next week I will be writing on ‘Surrounded By The Light’.  A Novella that will be released at Christmas.  By the end of the month I should return to where I left off on ‘Tratchars’, yes that book has been started and I believe I am almost 15% into it.  Ennacas is a bad girl, but her family will put things right.  ‘Tratchars’ will be released in February next year.

Well, it has been fun, but before Thena throws Tath through the picture window I better move away from the computer, because after Tath comes the computer in the back of her mind.  Yes, attention is definitely needed, I just heard something land in the kitchen.  Until next week… wish me luck.
