The first ever picture I saw of Raven and Vivi on the Stray Cat Rescue Facebook page had the two of them similarly in an office chair. So when I came down at noon and saw them thusly, it certainly plucked the heartstrings. 😀 And yes, noon. I had, apparently, turned my alarm off, and Z decided he was going… Read more »

Vivi was panting a little this morning, so I’ve been making sure to check on him over the day to make sure his breathing is okay. So of course, I just combed the house twice, got Z to join me… for Z to spot him standing in the window behind me with a ‘Oh hey, sup’ expression. I startled him… Read more »

So like, was off to a really good start this morning. Actually washed my hair, other bits of personal grooming, etc, felt on top of things. So of course, had a middday vertigo attack. Rude? The rudest. Z tended to me well, and instead of taking 4-8 hours to pass, we had it more or less licked in just over… Read more »

I had, some time back, bought some of those ergonomic crochet hooks. I realised today that using my old cheap and cheerfuls is a much more functional and edifying experience when doing hearts than the fancy ones did. I mean, ‘fancy’ — like pretty much all crochet hooks, they weren’t terribly expensive. I guess I just like the OG grip… Read more »

I had an order come in today, and then couldn’t find the product in question. So I’m making up one right now; hopefully that will make the missing pot of markers show up. Plus, I’ve had an itch to make some markers, so this scratches it nicely. Today on the whole… definitely awesome. The A/C is installed and working, and… Read more »

I’d gone upstairs because I had wanted to paint my nails, which multiple cats demanded attention. I managed to snap this picture before Vivi noticed the phone and got all up in his own face, because goober. But really, they’re goodum boys and girl, and I love them well. I also love that the a/c is installed! It’s not operational… Read more »

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 »
