Is it normal now to do a blood test on an 11 week kitten? Feels scammy to me but I haven't had a kitten in over a decade so...?
(Just feels like leukemia would pop up symptom wise on it's own pretty quickly without needing an expensive/invasive test for ALL kittens for it??)

Glorious day full of sunshine and light when your cat does the Big Poop!*
*managing in/out flow gets pretty weird when your pet is almost 21 years old! 😬

Both loathe and love this ornament from Michael’s. Creepy is fun! I like creepy! Creepy is also creepy and maybe I don’t want this living in a box in my house year round. 😬😳

Got my stitchy advent calendar from kittenstitcher in the mail. Absolute BONKERS cost, BONKERS. In my defense, it was only available right after the election & was VERY limited. A ‘end of the world’ type purchase if you will.
Look at all the wee envelopes. Very fun. :)

Had a genuine gut punch of a moment when I realized that every single thing I have worked on for a few months is completely gray and maybe also about dead things. Fuck you, grief! You sneaky fucker. 😕
Have course corrected with some pink socks and goofy turkeys. 🫤

My 20 year old cat drags her lamb* around with her all day. It’s a toss up as to which one is more ragged at this point. Heh.
*not an actual Lamb Chop but pretty close! 😀

Boo, thrilled as ever, full on diva mode, like *I* am the one who made her go outside. Snapped a pic because tomorrow we say goodbye. 😢
Almost 19, survived a stroke this spring, still stomping around and being the most annoying, stubborn little creature ever. Bless her. 😞

Week number SIX coming up of unrelenting cloudiness and dampness/dewpoint stuck in the 70’s.
This summer is starting to give me some S.A.D. like it’s mid-winter or something. 😡

Pretty sure when I don’t compost quickly enough, things mutate and try to escape. Or kill me.

Whelp, survived with my eyesight intact. 👍
We'll see if I make it to the next one in 2045. Maybe! :)

I made things for Valentines. 💘
It’s such a bullshit holiday but god that pink/red/white color combo really slaps after a dark dismal January. Doubly so if your mother happens to die. 🫤
(Cross stitches 🧵 have 2023 on them bcse I date them when stitched, not finished into a display piece.)

Not me eating a $2 sumo mandarin every day for a couple weeks like I’m the goddamn queen.
If I had $$$ I’d buy every single one I could find in the area while they were in season. So so so good!

One of my goals for 2024 is to tackle the cross stitch wips because, ugh.
I’ve gone from being a person with never more than 2-3 projects going at a time to…many more. 🫤
THAT BEING SAID, I did complete 50+ pieces last year, so I just need a more focused productivity, not MORE productivity. 😁
