I realized today that parts of Artemis's face have turned white. I think she is about 10 years old but she might be almost 11.

I hate the expression "If I can do it, anyone can."
Not only is it unkind, it's not true. We all have different strengths and difficulties.
I, for example, am never gonna climb Mt. Everest. It is just not in my wheelhouse.
But I make a hell of a cool beaded necklace.

So we've moved to the permanent office space. They gave me a cube clear on the end, but unfortunately it's the end everybody walks by.
And we have bright lights again.
I'm gonna order some of those migraine glasses.I mean it's not an autism/ADHD worst case scenario, but it is not great either.

So I tried to take Cricket to the vet this morning for her arthritis shot and she managed to squirm out of my arms and run downstairs and hide behind a bookshelf.

Super close up of cricket's ear. You can see where it was torn, maybe in a fight. She's our retirement kitty now. No more fights.

Visited Keepers of the Wild animal sanctuary in Valentine, AZ. They have several big cats, including a tiger/lion hybrid, rescued from Tiger King. Here's a leopard that a woman raised from a kitten, then gave away when he became "too much to handle" at about age 3.
