This year is obnoxiously hungry for the lives of pets… we had to say goodbye to Poison this evening. The vet confirmed that she had a number of serious issues, and we already knew that subjecting her to rafts of tests would stress her badly, and wouldn’t actually achieve anything. So we made the call. She was so small and… Read more »

Was giving Vivi tonnes of cuddles this morning, and somehow we ended up in this position for like, an entire minute. I very gently placed my mouth around his paw, he very gently placed his other paw against my eye. So sweet. Both of the boys are realising that they love a good hard scritch, and I’ve been using it… Read more »

So yeah, MRI this morning. It went well! I was in and out in like, 15 minutes, and Z was permitted to stand in the chamber and like, hold my foot for support. In spite of my claustrophobic nature, it was almost relaxing — even with all the bangs and thunks and the like. Mum was well impressed that our… Read more »

So, winding the bobbins. Making a smidge of headway. Then my brain whispers, ‘You need an inventory spreadsheet’. Sigh. *laughs* I mean, it makes sense, because I’m almost assuredly going to sort by colours this time. I am super chuffed, because for the first time in ever, I actually got a book on its release date; Amazon has really been… Read more »

There was a time, not so long ago, when the boys couldn’t stretch that far if they wanted to. Both of ’em combined could exceed it, but still. I know, I keep going on about how big they’re getting, but it’s like any furkid — every little change is met with d’aw and the like. My arms are getting a… Read more »

I had gone upstairs earlier to paint my nails, and I deeply offended both of the boys. Vivi legit yelled at me from the bed because I wasn’t paying attention to him. Then they both piled on the window ledge to glare at me for my terrible neglect. I know, world’s worst cat mom, I’m so cruel for not petting… Read more »

I went upstairs earlier and they were both on the bed, so I scootched Vivi over to be next to Raven so I could pet them at the same time. They literally were holding each other’s hands a couple of different ways, which, daw. They’re such good friends. Not a lot today, just sort of lumping about. Can’t think of… Read more »

Kittens. Basket. Not a drill. I mean, it’s ‘wrong’ ’cause it’s a round shape, not a box, but still. So cuuuuuute. S’been a good day. Made some good strides in making sure I won’t be so ghastly behind when we’re back from our two weeks off. Managed a proper visit to Mum; she didn’t expect me, but she was more… Read more »

So uh, the one day I leave the house, of course we get super rains. I mean, it’s awesome to actually see some of the wet stuff, but I wore the wrong trousers and reminded myself why I wore platforms with my too-long jeans in high school. *chuckles* Yesterday’s picture ended up being oddly prophetic. It has been -ages- since… Read more »

I have to say, referral to ENT aside, the NHS continues to delight me. I’ve got my MRI next week, which was a quick turnaround from referral. Even quicker happened today; I’ve got my appointment for retinal inspection tomorrow. The diabetic nurse was referring me for a check, since apparently there’s a higher risk of retinopathy with diabetes? But yeah,… Read more »
