So it turns out my appointment today wasn’t my ENT appointment being bumped up — it was a separate appointment with Audiology. I had a lengthy hearing test, and now have confirmation that I’ve lost a fair amount of hearing in my left ear. Rude. Then it turns out that ENT cancelled my bloody appointment because if I’m seeing Audiology,… Read more »

Halokitty was chilling in the bathroom this morning, so I took a picture. And then decided to art it up, because my wall needs cleaning and this way I can pretend I’m stylistic, ha ha. Plus, it means trying to actually learn basic Photoshop skills I’ve neglected over the years, so. Bonus. Past that, just trying to keep the dizz… Read more »

My friends back in Texas are posting all these ice pictures, and we have what I consider Texas winter temps here. Which is to say, I’m wandering around without a jacket outside, and shoes to go to the bin? Nah. Anyways, the main thing is that I’ve survived the week. It’s been a bit of a rough one with the… Read more »

Z bought me a pack of stabbytastic pins for my birthday. So I bought a set of small pinboard strips, and placed the goods on it. I miiiiight have one more pin somewhere on my desk, but I also might not. I’d been putting them on my purse originally, but I knocked them all off — even with having superglued… Read more »

Okay, I had to cheat slightly to get all four of them on the bed. Vivi was napping on the table behind me, so I scooped him up and deposited him upstairs. I caught him at the right time, ’cause he gave me a flat look, curled up, and stayed very put. Only other thing of vague excitement is taking… Read more »

So uh, three of four cats are on the couch, and Raven appears to be serving as a pillow to a degree. Considering how clingy Raven has been today, I’m especially pleased to see him curled up with the babies. Not that he’s taken any issue with them, but I felt like maybe he was a little stressed out. He’s… Read more »

I’d gone upstairs to check on the big boys earlier, and caught them like this. So cute! I mean, it’s always mile a minute kitty cuteness around here, which means I’m absolutely living my best life. Past that, just trying to keep hydrated and being glad that I see the ENT folx week after next. I need some answers for… Read more »

The integration continues in a lovely fashion. The closest thing to a problem is that Raven is suddenly finding that he needs some alone time. Which he’s getting; either he’s hiding in my sock drawer (which is actually verboten, but I’m permitting for the mo), or just the entire upstairs bed by himself. The other three are currently downstairs. October… Read more »

So. Four cats sleeping in my bedroom. Awesome! Less awesome is Raven’s repeat insistence on napping in my sock drawer. I mean, yes, it’s cute and probably smells like me, but him and his brother are yarn/sock thieves, so this insistence of his annoys me. I chucked him out of the drawer once and pushed it as far closed as… Read more »

The babies are settling in well. Raven still isn’t interacting with them much, while Vivi seems to think he’s a harried babysitter. Which… more or less what we guessed would be the case initially. The little ones themselves are happy to demand pets, and to wander around, but they’re not too keen on being picked up yet. That’s fine —… Read more »
