Today’s words: 1076. Sweet. I’d be happy if I could manage that daily. Or every couple days. Or once a week? 🤷🏻♀️
And a cat for Caterday:
Spark hiding all his ginger except for his tail.

Taking a break from doomscrolling for Caterday! These two normally do not get along (or, rather, she is a hissy bitch)… sleeping butt to butt is new.
Spark and Smudge, momentarily in a truce. 😼

This is… very interesting. I’ll be trying it tomorrow. I planned to literally burn everything I have in print… having an option for the audio is quite fine.
Just a heads up for peeps, if you bought a Neil Gaiman audiobook from Audible, they are allowing refunds for them with no questions asked and no matter how long ago you bought them. I don’t even have an active subscription and they gave me credits back for two titles purchased in 2020.

Just passed, it was a Three Cat Night (dunno where #4 was). Now? Lap occupancy in the paws of the old man cat. Waiting to see if we get the predicted snow tomorrow. Bring it on! Yankee in me rejoices.
Peeps in California dealing with the fires: please stay safe! Terrifying situation. 😫

Although I do not celebrate Christmas in any form, the slowdown over these days is nice. Give me solitary peace and quiet and I am pleased. Had to get out today and it was gruesome. Even so, 2000+ (!!!!) words written, yay! So that’s good.
And, here is a cat. This is Gracie, my brother’s baby. ❤️

Today’s word count is just shy of 300. Even so, 800-ish words in two days is quite fine output for my current mental state. The greatest day I ever had was nearly 6k. Nowadays? I’ll settle for 500.
And: a cat. Sandy-pants is a crazy little goose.

Yesterday’s word count: 586. New words. Not tweaking or editing, but new material. Better than I’ve managed in ages.
Amazing what random plot bunnies will do. Now to see if I can manage more.

Caterday once more… Smudgers, whipping me with her tail, giving the squint-eye. Not long after, she ambushed my arm and then departed. Which was good, because I needed to get up.

Wow… this is brilliant! Kate Bush: super quirky and (for me) 100% better than the vast majority of the garbage coming out these days.

This makes me intensely glad I punted Spotify into the gutter. Soulless, garbage fucks. Infuriating and depressing. At least Apple Music is included with my cell plan, so unlimited music… for now.

Missed Caterday, but my senior cat Iskander has now decided it’s time to cling and is now attached to my hip. He is 14, and still a certified weirdo. Dude, it’s not that cold (actually, for me it’s not cold at all), but the personal space heater is appreciated just the same.

Sandy is a sucky baby who loves his blankie. Still. 14 months old and still a super-sucker. 😼 (Strange flashbacks to Spaceballs… sad but true.)

Trying to write, editing/tweaking instead. Heaps of distraction in what I call PMS (Panera Middle School). Thank goodness for the iPad Pro, since the FFHA (filthy fucking homeless asshole) who burgled the house & stole my MacBook Pro apparently dropped it and it’s now unusable.
But…Caturday!

Every time someone says listening to audiobooks isn't reading, we should tell them a ton of spoilers because we do we know? We haven't read it.. 📚💙

Piddling writerly accomplishment today was some editing and text conflict resolution caused by changes. One day I’ll make up my mind about how I really want this monster project to go. For a consolation prize, have a cat picture. This is Tiger, a “stray” who has lived in our yards for over 5 years.🤷🏻♀️

More cats for Caterday. Spark and Sandy, the two youngest of the inside crew, the older one with whom I had been making friends outside for a few months and the baby, who was adopted six days later. Both are now over a year old. 🤍🧡🤎😸😼😻
I guess Bluesky is for cats. 🥳

Caterday… best day of a crummy week. Kitties make everything better in their way.
Four kitty children, three strays who have lived their whole lives in our yards (mine and the neighbors’), and a lovely little feral I’m trying to make friends with. 😼
🎵 Roll, roll, roll in the hay! 🎶
