Went out to see if my building is the only one without power, and there’s a MASSIVE murder of crows chilling out back.
Nighttime photo, where the sky is solid grey. There are trees in the back, covered in a huge murder of crows. Dozens of crows circle overhead.

Did the first draft for NaNo a couple years ago. Now I’m working on rewriting it a bit in a second draft. Then maybe printing to edit, and finding beta readers. #writing #indieauthor
A picture of text on a reMarkable2 tablet. It’s describing a scene where the first MMC meets the family of the second MMC (who is unconscious).

Havoc finally decided to give the new bed a try.

Cozy night in with the girls.
A grey tabby cat curled up asleep on a fleece blanket with a ghost pattern. A black cat watching a projector image that’s out-of-frame. She’s sitting on a black sheet, in front of a grey headboard. An orange pillow and duvet are visible to the right. A fluffy orange car laying on an orange duvet, backlit by a projector image out-of-frame.

Mina does NOT approve of the power washing going on outside my window.

I went for a walk in the neighborhood today to get my Sad Boy Enrichment™️ in, and there are so many cute houses and gardens I’ve never really seen when I drive through. I love it here. I also came across a tree who seems to have also fallen for Fools’ Fall last week.
A deciduous tree that is still mostly green leaves, but a good portion of the upper boughs have turned bright red. There is a faint scattering of shed leaves on the ground below. The sky is solid grey, and it is raining lightly.

I forgot to post this when the roommates and I went to Minnehaha Falls a couple weekends ago. It was so nice after so long away.
A short waterfall spilling into a low river from dark rock. The image is framed by greenery, and a sliver of grey sky is barely visible at the top.

Somebody’s comfy.
A grey tabby cat curled up with her back to the camera. She’s laying on black fabric, with a green pillow in the background. There is a grey fleece blanket covered in black bats in the upper right corner.

Sharing is caring! 💜
A black cat and grey tabby cat laying together on a window-mounted bed. They each have a foreleg stretched over the other. The black cat’s eyes are closed, and the tabby is looking at the viewer. The same black cat and tabby on the window bed, only both are now facing out the window. The black cat is stretched out against the tabby’s back, with her foreleg curled up on the tabby’s shoulder.

I think the window bed is a hit!
A black cat and grey tabby cat curled up together on a rectangular window bed. The window overlooks a nondescript crosswalk.

Been in a hotel since Friday since the electricity was supposed to be shut off for repairs, and I couldn’t cancel the reservation after the power company apparently cancelled. The girls are loving the king size bed.
Fluffy orange cat sprawled out on white sheets. There is a green wall behind her head, an orange headboard directly behind her, and a balled-up white blanket to her other side. Close up of a fluffy orange cat’s paws, showing off the curly fur between her toe beans. A black and grey cat curled up in balls on a white blanket. There is a hotel closet and AC unit in the background. A white blanket is in a pile on a hotel bed. A black cat is curled up asleep on the left, and a grey cat is curled up on the right.

Mojo still isn’t a huge fan of not being home, but at least she’s started coming out from her hiding space between the bed and the wall.
Photo of an orange cat wandering a hotel room. A grey cat is in the background, near the foot of the bed. Fluffy orange cat loafing under a floating nightstand. There is a gallon jug of water near her, and a CPAP hose dangling off the nightstand.

I have no idea what kind of flowers these are, but they’re so pretty.

Working my way through “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” since I never got a chance to as a kid. I’ve had some excellent company.
Photo of a still from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” projected on a blank white wall. There is a fluffy orange cat in the lower right of the photo. There is a bedroom door to the left, and the photographer’s bedding is a dark green.

Finally got my projector working. Now it’s time to break it in with extra large @secretsleepoversociety.com.
A large projection of Jacob and Julia from Secret Sleepover Society. Jacob has short, dark hair, and is wearing an orange blazer over a dark t-shirt, and dark jeans. Julia has short blond-ish hair, glasses, and is wearing a dark, custom-tailored suit. She also has a blanket on her legs, with one of her and Jacob’s cats curled up asleep on her lap. They each have a streaming microphone in front of them. There is a cat tree behind them.

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...

🤔 Seems accurate.

Someone’s a big fan of bird TV. 😂

Mojo had a quest for me today.
A photo of a long-haired orange tabby asleep on a cardboard scratcher / bed. She is curled up and lighted by a sunbeam. The long-haired orange tabby still curled up on the scratcher / bed, though her head has moved closer to the front of the bed, sort of hanging off. The light has changed so she’s no longer in a sunbeam, but she still glows with indirect sunlight.

Mina has tragically met her end in the Nap Zone. Thoughts and prayers. 😔
A black cat’s arm and paw stretched out from under a black curtain. She is laying on a white blanket on a light wood floor.

🎶 Birthday girl in a box 🎶

Havoc turns 13 today! I got her when she was 12 weeks old, all the way back in 2012 when I was still in college. She’s been my lifeline through tough times, and a source of frustration, worry, and laughs through the years. I love her so much. My heart. 💜
Half of a grey tabby’s face peeking out of a grey storage box that is stacked under another of the same sort of box. Both boxes are in front of an off-white wall and white radiator. The edge of a black curtain is just barely visible, as well as a bit of a black and tan box on the floor.

I need everyone to shame the soot sprite. She somehow disappeared in a near-completely empty house. I thought she got outside (and almost had a panic attack), only for her to reappear on the kitchen counter like nothing happened when I got home from errands and looking for her. #cat #moving
A blurry photograph of a black cat. There is a trash bag and empty laundry basket in the background, as the photographer is in the process of cleaning out to move house.

A “love pawsona” results screenshot, showing the poster is a hamster type - sweet tooth, adorably awkward, cheesy, can’t stay still, *nervous chuckles*, ticklish. There are bullet points of other personality traits below that, and potential partner pawsona matches.

Mina has been OBSESSED with the birds nesting in the bush outside my window.
A close up photo of a black cat with yellow eyes. She has a small patch of sparse white hair on her chest. A black cat looking out a window. She is surrounded by desk clutter - a heater, a fan, water bottles. A laptop and monitor are also visible on the edges of the image. Same shot as previous, though the cat is looking to her right. A black cat laying on grey-brown plank flooring, looking at the camera. She has bright yellow eyes and a white spot on her lower belly. She has the string of a nearby hoodie in her paw. There are blankets behind her. The hoodie is in a box to her right. A skull-patterned rug is just visible in the lower right.

In unrelated news, Mina continues to look like she fell out of an anime.
