Heading back to Oregon

Well, I think my adventure is over. I'm tired of traveling and also need to get my kitties from their foster home. Autumn and Meghan committed to giving the kitties a foster home thru the end of March - I was hoping they could keep them longer, but they can't. There's also bad news on the kitty front. Tuft has always been an escape artist. About a month and a half ago, he snuck out and somehow managed to break his leg. It isn't healing well and he may need surgery, so he's fairly high maintenance at the moment. So I need to get back and deal with the kitties.

What I'm going to do, I don't know. I was hoping that during this trip I would find inspiration - either stumble on an opportunity or pass thru a small town that I fell in love with and wanted to settle in. But it hasn't happened. So I need to get serious and make some decisions. Find a job and a place to rent somewhere. Anyone have any good ideas?

In the short term, I need to find a place for the cats (and for me). Would anyone out there be able to provide them a home for a while? Know of a short term rental or housesitting job?

I'll be leaving Denver and heading back to Oregon this week. Not sure when I'll get there, it'll be somewhat weather dependent. If there aren't any bad storms coming I'll take the direct northern route and should be there by the weekend. If there are storms, I may take the southern route which will take longer. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Sheila,
Where are you now? Is it springtime down there yet?

Hi Sheila,
New opening at TNC. Just in case it suits you.

I have found that a great deal of people are in need of responsible, trustworthy house/pet sitters. I've been doing it a lot this year - but I have no pets. I don't consider it a job, just favors for friends. I enjoy staying in different parts of the city every once in a while. It also takes care of my dog fix. It's good for me to spend time with a dog every once in a while.

Good luck out there!

Welcome home!
