Well so its been a few weeks now, and we’re starting to get settled. The apartment is still a bit of a mess, but its more like we live here now, although we still don’t have a dining room table. I always forget how much moving sucks until I have to do it again. It’s awesome to have all of my stuff back, (especially my yarn!!) but I hate having to think about where we are going to put all of our stuff. I never thought I’d say that I miss Willowtree in Ann Arbor, but I do miss the closets. We have two, and it is not enough. I need more places to hide things.
Anyway, back to the point of the post. Yesterday, we took a trip to the Humane Society and picked out a new little buddy for Orbit. The Humane Society here is a really nice place, all the animals live in little houses that are open air, so that’s nice for them. I only have two complaints. First, they are not very organized over there, we waited about twenty minutes long than we should have because their receptionists sort of sucked and didn’t notice our cat and one other cat waiting to go home with someone. Also, they just walked off with about ten people waiting to be helped, for seemingly no reason and were gone at least ten minutes. My second complaint is that they aren’t very thorough about who they allow to adpot animals. All I had to do was give them my name, phone number and address. When I adpoted Orbit I had to bring a copy of my lease so that they knew we could have a cat at our apartment.
Moving on, he’s a little orange tiger kitty and we named him Hilo. I wanted to give him a Hawaiian name since he is Hawaiian, but none of the “names” I looked up worked. Hilo is the name of a city, to which I’ve never been, since its on the big island. I just liked the way it sounds, I think it goes well with Orbit. As far as I know it doesn’t mean anything, but its cute.
Even though he’s supposed to be a buddy for Orbit, she doesn’t like him too much yet. It hasn’t been 24 hours yet, though, so I’m hopeful. Already today its a bit better. Orbit has come out from hiding to observe Hilo and even came and slept on my lap for awhile, so she can’t be too mad at me. We’ll see how it goes.
Well here are a few pictures of my new baby:

What a cute addition to the new life
I also like the blanket! Glad to see things are so far so good for you, hope we can catch up soon!
Aww.. so cute! I suppose you could nickname him “Helio” which would go well with Orbit. And it sounds like his real, Hawaiian name.
Cute popoki!
