update

Ivo was a bumblebee for Halloween. He went to 2 parties. That Saturday - the 28th - evening, we were all in Chang Hua for Nate's 40th bday and kids' party. It was great - they even had a haunted house and all the food looked like other things; fingers, spiders, even a kitty litter cake!

Earlier that day we temporarily adopted a street cat. It had been living on the roof of our neighbors' across the street for at leat 5 days. Meowing and crying all the while. We think that it may have been born up there and then abandoned. Anyway, finally he got to a place where our neighbor could reach him. He freed him to the street a couple doors down. More crying and he came back here, he was so tiny... we fed him and took him to the vet. The kitty was 4 weeks old and healthy - worm-free. After a few days, I got hives. Once I stopped interacting with the cat, the hives stopped too. But it was too heartbreaking not being able to give little kitty any love. Luckily a coworker of Ryan's took him in!

The next day, we found out that Karin had broken her knee that same Saturday night. She'd been playing baseball. She's had surgery to reconnect her knee cap pieces and seems to be healing really well. She can't get around very well tho - her cast is terribly heavy. So she's home for a while. She thinks Ivo will be walking befor she is;/

Ivo doesn't really like when I use the computer. But somehow he's ok with it now. Maybe he knows he should cut me some slack since he woke wide up at 3:30am and nothing I did got him to go back to sleep so we came downstairs. It's now 4:45! He just had a big poop - yet still seems wide awake.

I'm gonna post some pics:)
