I'm northern - gaming, knitting and everyday stuff with cats and being an IT librarian. I'm fannish, but haven't written anything in years. I read SFF books.
Today we decide which track to take in investigating a new register system after the fiasco of interdepartmental miscommunication I told you about last week. We can: grab a system already okay with IT and deviate from recommended card terminals.>

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place.

Phew, finished the sleeve. I only have the facing and sewing the zipper on, but before that I have to block the sweater. And my drying space away from cats is already taken by that older sweater.

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

I am a bad person and dressed all the girls in pit babe costumes in my Trails game. Except for Renne. I couldn’t bring myself to - she really doesn’t want that attention, and I won’t make her.

Washed Zevran’s lower back again, since it had dandruff. Easier than washing all of him, and if it’s just every few months that’s fine.

I got a small fluffy rug for the cats (non-natural material so that Zevran doesn’t eat it immediately). Fiona is checking it out.

Sadly, no car this week. Maybe at the end of next, according to dealer. Too bad, I had hoped my next grocery trip would be by car.

This week is a lot calmer than last week at work. Plus I'll be able to work from home Wednesday and I have Friday off.
