Warning: contains naked cat belly. It's just an evening bath. Nothing to see here. It's FINE. We're all fine. NO I'M NOT WEARING PANTS. Don't you people keep saying pants are bullshit in this house? (To Butterfle): WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING? BRING ME SOLO AND THE WOOKIE! You all suck. There's no privacy here at… Continue reading A Feline Drama in 4 Parts

fAngus Update and Vacation
I've been busy doing as much NOTHING as possible, so I'm remiss on updating the status of fAngus's recovery. The torture continues for him, although just before vacation he was able to drop off the awful antibiotic (the one that could burn a hole in his esophagus if he didn't eat immediately after and make… Continue reading fAngus Update and Vacation
fAngus’s Unexpected ER Adventure
Last Thursday in the middle of an extremely busy work day (including a go-live of a software product my team has been working on for a long time), I was interrupted by a cat who skittered across the kitchen floor at a dead run, yowling. It sounds funny, but fAngus only yowls when he's in… Continue reading fAngus’s Unexpected ER Adventure
Traveling Chickens, Covid, and Teenage Sleepovers
Suddenly it's nearly June 15th, and the last month has been...eventful. Not that events excuse dropping the blog for a few weeks, but for a while there something had to go, and I saved up pictures and notes to write up later. Today is later. In May I went to Cocoa Beach, FL with my… Continue reading Traveling Chickens, Covid, and Teenage Sleepovers
Negatives and Positives: a Spectrum
So...I get quite a few spam comments that are filtered out by this platform (thank goodness) and I always review them before deleting because often they're entertaining. The recent spate of "is cbd oil good for..." followed by a variety of ailments have been fun to read. This one, however, made me shake my head.… Continue reading Negatives and Positives: a Spectrum
Wildlife Here is Determined to Drive Me Nuts in the best ways
First, let me just say now that I'm moved into the house (on five acres across from a golf course): I did NOT realize how die-hard some folk are about their golf game. As I write this it's a whopping 37 degrees Fahrenheit and alternating between rain and sleet. Yet there are multiple groups of… Continue reading Wildlife Here is Determined to Drive Me Nuts in the best ways
Twin Missives
I moved fully in with the horde a week ago, with Ragnar, Minerva, and fAngus. We now have five couches. FIVE. COUCHES. WHYYYYY. We are all adjusting, and things are good. So now I live with the twins, who both have fun things to share today. I anticipate more of these, especially since Stone (yes,… Continue reading Twin Missives
Packing my Office, and Other Random Weird
I'm working on packing in between breaks for silly things like work and seeing people and sleeping. I hate packing. I hate moving. Sigh. But I'm excited for the result, even though I'm sad I'll no longer see the neighbor's new black lab puppy growing up and awkwardly following his older packmate around their yard… Continue reading Packing my Office, and Other Random Weird
Planning in the Dark – an update of sorts
This isn't a funny post (although I bet I'll have a few after I get the furballs moved, because the horde is understandably concerned about fAngus protest-pooping and Minerva eating their stuffed animals when we move). It's more of a reminder to myself. In my Pagan calendar, the period of time between Yule (12/21ish) and… Continue reading Planning in the Dark – an update of sorts
Sunday Spam
The spam I get in the comments section of this blog is often stupid, sometimes horrendous, and occasionally too funny to ignore. Some of today's selection, the bits that weren't about how to get CBD products, seemed worth repeating. Most of these are under the same "Hairstyles" bot (uses different IP/email addresses but same handle),… Continue reading Sunday Spam
