Too Much

      No Comments on Too Much
A photo of our cats, Vivi and October. Vivi is the tuxedo cat sitting on the left, while October is the white-and-tabby girl laying on her back with a paw thrown in Vivi's shoulder.

I am doing Entirely Too Much™® this week. First it was emailing the Prime Minister, which wasn’t too bad. Then I got it in my head yesterday that I should book in a video call with my Member of Parliament, so that’s booked for Monday. I’ve even done a wee bit of article herding and added a few notes, though… Read more »

Antsy

      No Comments on Antsy
A photo of my cat, Vivi. Vivi is a tuxedo cat with a large white blaze on his face, and a little pink nose. He has brown eyes. He's laying on his back in my lap, with one of my arms around him. He's generally unimpressed with being held, but he's in no rush to move either.

I’m feeling weirdly antsy right now, and I couldn’t tell you why. I guess it wouldn’t be as weird if I could, heh. It almost feels like I’ve forgotten to do something, though I can’t think of anything that I’d forgotten. Which… well, y’all see the circular logic there, ha ha. I’m sure it’ll be fine in a bit, whatever… Read more »

Boxes

A photo of me! I'm a white lady with long brown hair, glasses, and a lip ring. I'm half-hiding behind my hair, and I've smiling.

Spouse has an excellent box to open — it’s his new laptop. And because work was footing the bill, she’s a real beaut, ha ha. I’ve slight envy, but that’s natural; in reality, I’m still mainly happy with my setup. And really, I am glad he’s getting something shiny. He deserves shiny. Really, that’s the only thing of note today…. Read more »

Do Nothing

A photo of my cat, Raven. Raven is a tuxedo cat with white paws, a white blaze on his face, and a little black nose in the middle of it. He has brown eyes, and he's looking up. He is laying with a slight sprawl on a brown desk, and he has an upturned blue bowl between his front paws.

‘Tis the last day before the kids start back at school post-Easter, so yeah, did my best to do as little as possible. For example, I’m in Wastelands Sims mode right now, making a little apartment complex in Fallout 4. One of my friends had mentioned doing apartments, and my brain was like… well, I guess I need to as well…. Read more »

A photo of our cat, Halo. He is mainly white with tabby markings, and he's pictured here yawning widely with his eyes squinched shut. He's laying in the bathtub, because cats know a good thing when they're in it.

We had a nice afternoon over at Mum’s, house, having just arrived home and settled down. Best beloved had mentioned taking this picture while we were over there, so yoink! Halo fangs: get. Really, a quality do-nothing day, just in a slightly different location. Tomorrow’s a bank holiday as well, so more doing as little as possible above and beyond… Read more »

Flop

A picture of our girl cat, October. She is white with tabby markings and green eyes. She is sprawled out on a brown desk in front of a window, and next to a rainbow storage tower.

Outside of a trip to Tesco, been doing my best to just flop out and murder all the things in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. I do it, knowing we’ve got a good selection of sandwiches for everyone tomorrow, and that’s what we wanted. Smallest’s new lunchbox arrived today — she bought a Bento box. She’s excited by the concept, but… Read more »

Vivi Dangerbox

      No Comments on Vivi Dangerbox
A photo of our cat Vivi in a cardboard box from Amazon. Vivi is a tuxedo cat with a primarily white front, and his brown eyes are looking in my direction. The box is on a narrow ledge at the front of a glass-fronted cabinet.

Vivi loves his boxes, even when they’re not in the best of places. I’d tucked that one on the ledge to remind me to take it to be recycled, so of course that’s when he decided it was the right time to camp on it — not when it was on the much wider couch. Cats, innit. We’ve got a… Read more »

Bleh

A photo of me. I'm a white woman with brown hair, glasses, and a lip ring. My eyes are rolled back in my head to go with my not impressed facial expression.

Stars, so. The UK Supreme Court passed a ruling this morning giving the thumbs up to gender essentialism, which, gross. I’ve been taking advantage of my current Fallout 4 play to distract me from feeling too doomful. Youngest also helped by coming through to take advantage of the PS5 being available, thereby blocking me from watching the news on loop. But… Read more »

A photo of me with our cat Halo. He's a white boy with tabby markings, green eyes, and a pink little nose. I'm a white lady with long brown hair, glasses, and a lip ring. Halo is in a blue play cube, and leaning out of it to rest his head against mine.

Halo is a sweet massive baby. He’s still not okay with being picked up or held, but he loves getting and receiving pets. I took this picture this morning in the middle of a lil purrfest (of which I also managed to get a recording of, so, win). Tuesday is also the day of the weekly ISG chat, so that… Read more »

Catbutt

A photo of the back half of our biggest cat, Halo. He is white with tabby markings, though all you can see of his markings is the racoon-esque banding on his tail. He is partway in a gray play tube... and only partway, because his brother Vivi was there and didn't move once he crammed in. Said cat and said tube are on a brown blanket on my bed.

Pictured is what happens when you’ve got four cats who are more or less happy being in each other’s pockets. Vivi was laying just inside the tube, so Halo crammed himself in the remaining bit — and laid on his brother. I’d put my hand past Halo to check, and yeah. Vivi was like, whatever. Naw, the closest we get… Read more »
