SHE'S HERE...SHE'S HERE!!!!!!

Friday has finally arrived!  The only problem is that I haven't heard from the pet relocation agency on this end.  I had emailed them on Wednesday to see if they had an estimated time that our animals would be released from quarantine.  As of Friday morning I still had not heard anything from them.  As I had mentioned before, I am built to worry.  So, I emailed the contact again.  At around 9:30 I received a phone call from him.  It was a very difficult conversation to have.  I kept losing him thanks to my really awesome cell phone...

Don't be jealous!!!

Anyway, after several disconnects and call backs I found out that they were in the process of getting their paperwork together to release them.  The paperwork couldn't be completed until 10:30 at the earliest though and due to Shayne's (the dog boarder) schedule it would be early afternoon before they could be released since they had to be released at the same time.  I was just happy that they were being released!

So I figure in the meantime I would go ahead and get laundry going.  That sounds easy enough, right?  Have you ever tried to do laundry in different country?  I hadn't until Friday, September 30, 2011.  Let me just say that laundry did not get done that day.  The machine looked like I should be able to operate it - it looked like a normal stackable washer/dryer combo.  There are two dials with nothing but numbers on them on the washer part and three buttons with pictures.  Hmmm...yeah.  Like I said, no laundry that day.  Patric said we could figure it out together.  That would be interesting!  So, instead I did stuff on the computer.  =)

At around 3:15 PK finally got here...YAY!!!  I brought the carrier in and opened the door.  I expected her to come out and hide immdiately.  Not so!  She came out and started exploring right away!  She wasn't even that interested in love.  I was so caught off guard that I didn't have the video camera ready like I wanted.  I did get some still shots...

One of the first places she found was the back of the washer - a great hiding place.

Then she found the view!  =)

Then I got the video camera out and followed her around a bit.  I think she thought I was a little crazy but whatever...

Patric was even showered with love when he got home from work!  This cat was definitely happy to be with us!

That night we decided to go somewhere different for dinner and for a change of scenery.  Right next to Patric's office is a HUGE mall called 1 Utama.  He goes there for lunch - there is some sort of connection between the mall and his office building.  Anyway, this mall puts the Galleria in Houston to shame!!!  I was going to take pictures but I had no idea where to begin.  There is a store for every brand of clothing made.  We ate at Kenny Rogers Chicken Roaster - not bad.  There are a ton of choices for food.  I have no idea how many floors are in this mall.  I absolutely can't wait to go back and explore this mall!!!  It just happens to be about 3 minutes from the house we are hoping to move into.  How great is that???  The Curve AND 1 Utama...that seems like a lot of blog material in itself!  =)

We didn't stay long because I was really tired so we came home.  It was nice to come home to PK!  Then I went to bed and all of that changed.  She has never been a cat that sleeps in the bed with us all night.  She will come visit but then she goes and does her thing - whatever that may be.  Not Friday night!  She decided she needed to stay with us ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!  And for the most part she wanted to mess with me.  One point in the night I woke up because she had her head under my pillow trying to get at my hands to make me pet her.  Another time I woke up with her sitting on my chest head butting me and purring in my face wanting love.  Every time I rolled over she was somewhere near me making it difficult to move without disturbing her which meant she thought it was time to get love.  Needless to say it was a restless night.  But she missed us and was happy to be home...I'm happy that she is happy!

Saturday will be another big day!  We get to go furniture shopping and will get to go see the dogs at Shayne's house!  See you at the next post!

Monkey update:  day six...still no monkeys, but I really didn't go anywhere so I can't really count today, can I?
