If you said, "Carly Simon, 1971," you get 15 bonus points. If you said, "From the catsup commercial," you get an additional 5 bonus points for having a sense of humor.
Today, I am full of anticipation. If you said, "Well, he's full of something," no bonus points, but thanks for the chuckle. It's gonna be a good day. I am feeling better. Not 100%, but definitely better. Getting over a cold with asthma takes time. While in the car yesterday, I sang along with the radio. Not loud, but I could push out some sound.
Tomorrow, I get together with "the big group"... that is 7 of us. First time since we played out late spring last year. Mark, Ron, Danny, Gil, Carl, Tom, and me. They got together two weeks ago, but I was sick... I missed seeing my friends. I may not have full voice, but I'll sing what I can and the other guys will do their part (and some of mine). I am already anticipating what gear I'll take.
A file photo from the last time the 7 of us were together.
This morning, when I got up and started getting breakfast ready for Murphy and Stella, they played together. Nicely. No growling or hissing. After their breakfast, Murphy and I went outside for our "walkabout and guy time." Back inside, when I sat down, Stella jumped up on my chair and into my lap; a first. And right now, they are sitting by the patio door, looking out...
They share plenty of toys, but that is Murphy's chair. It has a cooling pad on it, for his comfort; we move the chair in front of the door so he can look out. This morning, Stella joined him; well not on the chair; he fills that.
Murphy gets to go outside, in our yard, not on a leash. I am anticipating that the time will come soon for Stella to go outside - in a backpack, in a stroller, or on a leash (with a harness - if we can find one to fit her wiry physique). Stella often looks through that patio door glass to see what we are doing. Yes, Stella survived on her own, in a parking lot, before we rescued her. While I'd like to think that she knows she has a good deal here with us, I have no idea if she is a flight risk. And, I don't want to chance it. At this point, she has made no attempt to get out the door when I am coming or going with Murph. I'd like to keep it that way.

Glad you are feeling better. This crud that is circulating lately is pretty tough.
Stella will probably enjoy your back yard, but she also knows that she has a pretty good deal at your place. Having lived on the street, I'm sure that she recognizes Disney Land and being the resident princess.
We can hope! Stella definitely likes to be near us; we're still working on that trust thing so she'll want to be held. Right now, that is on her terms. She has been a bit leery since having to go back to the vet to get checked for anemia (which she clearly didn't have).
