So it's been a rough few months.

First, Dory, my sacred guardian and protector passed away
 August 8th. She was eighteen. She was the best friend I have ever had.

Sadly, just before she died she wound up with fleas. She must have had them for about week, maybe two. 
So for the first three weekends after, I made an attempt to rid my apartment of fleas.
The last attempt involved getting rid of five totes worth of clothing.
Washing and sealing three totes worth of clothing and getting rid of multiple boxes of stuff
(yes, I am a hoarder) cleaning out and spraying down all but one closet
(electronic gear in that one) and then bug bombing every room in the house.
All of that failed to de-flea the apt. Finally, we brought in the pros and
after thirty days of vacuuming (as per instructions) my home is flea free and mostly reassembled.

Two weeks after Dory passed, someone walked into my place of employment
with a kitten. My rational brain said, "are you f**king crazy?"
My emotional brain said, "KITTY!!!"So after a week of no fleas
I brought in Moonie (named after Moon Zappa, who I interviewed on me radio show.)
Interview here.
Meet Moonie, the new Toad Hall House Kitty.
