I scooped Vivi up for some pictures, and all of them ended up with him slightly blurry. Which, hilarious — like he’s trying to protect his visage or something, ha ha. Maybe he’s developing some sort of kitty superpower, who knows. Been a busy day all in. We went to Smaller’s school to talk to the speech and language therapist…. Read more »

I was trying to get a picture of the jaunty way Vivi was standing… my effort failed spectacularly. Ah well, call it art and move on. One thing I can’t move on from is the news from the vet. Poor Halokitty’s blood test result came in like, 3 times higher than normal range. So now he needs a heart scan…. Read more »

Not much to report today, being a Sunday. Blanket is nearly 2″ along the edge, so that’s nice. Gonna get back to it. <3

Z surprised me the other day with some more pins for my board. The trifecta of bears is extra special, because of historical silliness. We were playing Lord of the Rings Online with one of my besties and her husband, and we were fighting bears, so I started falsetto singing BEARS BEARS BEARS to the tune of ‘Girls Girls Girls’, and… Read more »

I closed the cats out of all the upstairs rooms today, because I was putting down pest spray. Which means they’ve draped themselves over my table, the couch, and even my chair if I’m fool enough to get out of it. *chuckles* Not much past that. Glad it’s the weekend. <3

Halo is looking very fluffy right now. He’s not that fluffy, but he’s fluffy enough. He’s fluffy enough that I started having a panic that he hadn’t been sampled for his blood test, because I couldn’t see where they would have gone. Then I, finally, spotted a bare patch under his chin. Whew. I’ve had a nice trickle of Etsy… Read more »

You would think that knitting a corner to corner blanket in 4-ply on 4mm needles would take forever. Well, it’s not the work of an instance, but it’s some excellent self-soothing. That’s about it, really. Brain is super checked out this evening. 🙂 <3

Today has been a bit of a fail of a day. We were late getting to the vets. The pre-appointment found that Halokitty currently has a heart murmur, so was in for a blood test rather than neutering. And then poor October, the Queen of Claws, had enough fleas that they wanted to treat her and wait before doing her… Read more »

Smalls amused me earlier by commenting that they thought October looked sad. In almost the same breath, she haw haw’d that Halo is ‘getting his balls chopped off’. Yup, tomorrow is Cone of Shame day. I look forward to seeing how adorable October looks in her little onesie we bought her. Today I am… hard to explain. Worn thin a… Read more »

Halokitty has been mugging all around the house today. I have taken a slightly ungodly number of pictures of him, but hey — he’s more than due. For such a handsome boy, I definitely don’t get as many pictures of him as I do of his sister. It’s Mother’s Day/Mothering Sunday here, so doing the cheerful bare minimum. Mum came… Read more »
