Today was the first day of Orientation. It was simultaneously exciting and bizarre. I love beginning with a new group of students...they have so much enthusiasm...and I do a lot of stuff to keep them excited, but I also have to be the rule monger and tell them all the things they can't do to get kicked out.
So, at least the bad rule lady has finished rearing her ugly head for now...and only good, supportive lady will be the face forward for a few weeks :)
And I finally got a hold of my neighbor who took on the newborn kittens last week. Here's the update from my saint of a neighbor:
"My babies are awesome. I feed them every two hours (yes all night too), then 1/2 hour after each feeding, I have to stimulate them to go potty or they wouldn't survive. Mama cat does that so, I use a wet, warm cotton ball and it gets things going. Then, I refill their hot water bottle. They have learned to purr at me. Their ears picked up on day two, so then they could hear and know my voice as "mom cat." They should open their eyes soon. This happens at one week of age."
So I'm in a much better space than I was yesterday...good news and a good day of welcoming in the new students.
