This is only partially OT.

My Afternoon homecare has been a bit "unpredictable". I've had the
same PCA for that slot since Sept '06 when Joanne was injured. Due to
financial issues she didn't get her car inspected in time so she
didn't dare drive from NH border to W Mass. where I live. The person
in charge decided to replace her. They found a woman who lives in T. I
was told she was cat friendly.

Sherry the sceduler came out with her so that we could train her.
Sherry and I warned her that Spicey is my Guard cat and takes a while
to accept new aides. Well the next day she walks almost on top and
Spicey removes some of her skin. Next day same thing. She said Spicey
must be declawed. Which I objected to and explained why. She was
adamite (spelling fart here). Then it was suggest I crate her. Tak,
Joyce, and Charleen know this isn't possible. Part of why Spicey was
on edge with her because I kept having to re-explain how to do things.
I was as patient as possible but I know Spicey picked up on what I was
feeling.

Today thanks to Sherry and Cindy resolving her inspection issues I
found out Cindy will be back Weds. Which is great because Cindy is
Spicey's GBP (Great Bestower of Peparoni.).

That must be a great relief! That other woman certainly wasn't a good match
for you and Spicey.
