It's been quite a week and it's only Tuesday! Yesterday was a day of ups and downs. My computer adapter cord was severed after much wear and tear. Most of the wires fordisconnected. I'm not quite sure how it happened, but after teaching Grade 6 English, there was absolutely no function. I was up in arms because everything we do at school is done in the computer. Since we have IB curriculum, we make up our own worksheets and papers. Usually I back up everything on a flashdrive, but I haven't updated it in quite a while so I had a lot of important documents on it with no access to them.
My teaching partner, Budi, was the hero of the day. He made a few calls to some people he knew and was able to find a new adapter cord for me. It was delivered to me at school this morning. What a relief. He knew that I was stressed and that I do most of the documents that get sent to parents like our newsletter.
Yesterday I also got my two kitties. My friend (the grade 2 teacher) has friends in Bogor that had a litter of kittens and were looking for good homes to put them in because their cat was pregnant again. She brought two of them to school for me. They are very sweet and have a great temperament.
Scooter is a golden and white tabby female. She's my cuddle bug. She likes to sleep on my shoulder or burrow under my chin. She's a whiny thing, and for good reason, because Scamper, my other cat is very aggressive and likes to wrestle and nip at her.
Scamper is a grey kitten with black tiger stripes. He is beautiful but quite the trouble maker. He's an attention hog, and nice for the most part. However, he gets quite restless and pounces Scooter, looking for a good war of physicality. By the time they get all their rambunctiousness out of them, they are curled up on a pillow and fast asleep.
For those of you that don't know. My neighbor is nursing a four week old kitten back to health and it will join my house, now dubbed Kitty Kingdom. He's a precious little thing. He is white with black and brown clusters. His name is Scout.
They are a great addition to my house. I love the companionship that they provide.
