I would love to get rid of this box in my cleaning efforts, but they boys really effin’ love it. So the box stays. For now. I’ll have to see if I can get away with putting it on the floor, so Mum has somewhere to sit tomorrow. For the moment, I’m trying to make a crafting decision. I’ve started… Read more »

I finish a pair of socks, and what do I do? Immediately cast on another pair, ha ha. Which is to say, I met my second goal of finishing the pair I had on the go forever before my birthday. We’ll see if I can make good progress on this pair over the weekend. I’m doing top down for a… Read more »

The boys have been chilling in a nice large box all day. There’s plenty of room for both of them, and perhaps the kittens as well if they were here. Though I’m not sure four cats in a single box would be a great idea, ha ha. We confirmed with the boys’ foster mum that yes, we’ll happily take two… Read more »

We went kitten a-visiting, and yeah… I think we’re going to end up adopting two of them. We’ve reserved one, and told the foster mum we were 80% on having a second. We’ve talked about it with the kids, and they understand that will mean a bit less money for treats — and they’re okay with that. They both presented… Read more »

Another day, and another day closer to normal ops. Which is to say, the children are back at school tomorrow, hallelujah! *laughs* Naw, they’re excellent humans, but I relish having less people near me. Likewise, Z will be going into the office more now that we have an office manager to train up, so yeah. It’s gonna be su-wheeet. I… Read more »

Vivi decided he was napping near me today. I mean, he does sometimes, but usually he goes elsewhere. To add another layer to it, Raven is in Z’s seat, meaning Z is sitting on the edge of the couch so as to not displace the furry one. It’s nice to have them downstairs a bit more, instead of just sleeping… Read more »

I don’t mean to post photos of only Vivi, but Vivi tends to be posing all the time. And to be fair, at this moment, Vivi is very cutely posed, but Raven deserves his moments too. He’s a very good boy. Not a lot otherwise going on. Knitting and making slow progress. Christmas bonuses dropped, and um… *dabs* I don’t… Read more »

So yeah, not going to finish this second sock tonight, but at least I’m on the leg part now. Which means all the hard stuff is done, and it’s just slog. Having said that, I effin’ love the heel on this pattern. You’ve got a lot of short rows to make up the heel turn — but you don’t pick… Read more »

This isn’t my photo — this is from Vivi and Raven’s foster mum of her current clowder. And lucky us, we get to visit them next week and see if any of them would be a good match for our household! First dibs! I’m really excited. If we do connect, we’re not going to bring anyone home until after their… Read more »

Vivi has been snoozing over on my half of the bed all day — in spite of me interrupting his sleep several times for smooching and once for cuddles. I only feel bad that I’ve not given Raven the same, but I think he’s sleeping behind the television. I’d rather not try to get back there, ha ha. Not a… Read more »
