Z spotted Raven crammed under the footstool. He’s getting a bit too big to fit in there, but it’s still cute to see kittenish things. They are definitely getting more bigger and heavier, but still. Baaaaaabies. And while she isn’t their biggest fan, the advent of the kittens has been good for her. She’s slimmed down a bit because she’s… Read more »

The A/C lads came and got stuck in this morning… only for us to realise they’d been sent with the wrong bits. They got the unit they brought up on the wall, then we realised it was much weaker than the one we were supposed to be getting. So I’ve got some tidy holes to admire until they come back… Read more »

A/C guys started work today, and had a really good first day. The three upstairs units are all in situ, and there’s this artful tumble of wires waiting to be hooked up tomorrow. The downstairs unit also needs installing, which hopefully won’t shift me from my desk space for too long. If it does, it does — it will be… Read more »

I must say, it feels nice to get back to doing some cross-stitch after having a break. I haven’t decided what my next ‘big’ flag is going to be, so I’m enjoying doing a round of smolhearts to get me back into it. Of course, that requires washing and pressing and framing lots of tiny things… but that’s for future… Read more »

Raven has taken to napping on the couch a bit this week, which is sweet. He’s always super chill about me tucking him in, blankets or shirts or towels, whatever happens to be chilling in the environs. Kept myself more or less together today. My head feels heavy, and maybe it’s a headache? It’s really hard to tell, and I… Read more »

Last night, I got -extra- murdered by the vertigo. Z had to call 111 for advice, and honestly, it was probably borderline as to whether or not we called 999 for an ambulance crew. But it started to push back a bit with Z’s tender ministrations, and I was able to go to bed instead of another session curled up… Read more »

I was trying to get a nice picture of myself and Vivi and ended up with this… which honestly? Is the more accurate explanation of the last day. I got slammed with vertigo around this time yesterday, and put myself to bed super early as the way to cope with it. Doctor’s appointment today showed no infections, no earwax of… Read more »

So uh, I found out today that bb is coming this week, so I have to buckle down and get this finished. I’m nearly there, and as long as I hand it off before tomorrow evening, then it’ll beat baby into the world. I mean, it’s not like they *have* to have it beforehand, but it would make me happiest… Read more »

Today has been on the colder and rainier side of life — bliss. Unfortunately, we’re hitting the point in the evening where the temperature tends to jack itself up this time of year… but at least it’s not as bad as two weeks back. And tomorrow has our electrician coming to take stock of things before installing the electrics needed… Read more »

Well, this was the third tip to the trip this week, though only my first. It was a nice day for it, and Z spotted one of his local friends and exchanged pleasantries. We still have at least one, if not two more trips to make with the current stuff in the garage, so hopefully we’ll manage that tomorrow. We’ll… Read more »
