I'm still offline social media for my ~*mental health*~ but I needed to show y'all my finished colorwork mittens I made for my favorite aunt.

One of the things that keeps me going right now is that every night, my small cat daughter brings me her ratty crinkle butterfly toy and gently screams until I acknowledge her hunting skills.

I took a class on tablet weaving this weekend in my continuing journey to do every fiber art. It was fun and also such a brain twister to get the pattern set up.

Important work lunch discussion today was who was your first anime boyfriend/girlfriend?
Mine was Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing! I have a t-shirt of him and still own a Deathscythe model.
Other answers were Goku (truly the people's boyfriend) and Sasuke from Naruto.

The couch is done!
Lol, the reupholstering is done but I'm still waiting on the new foam for the cushions. Hopefully it will come this week!
I also fucked up my back and now have to lay on the couch with a heating pad today. Hopefully that and a hot ass bath will fix my problems.

Day three of the couch project and the injury list now includes one nasty splinter, countless stepping on staples, many small cuts, and one ruined shirt.
But hey, it's looking good and hopefully it will be done today! Still waiting on new foam for the cushions but recovering cushions is easy peasy.

The great couch recovering project is going well; only three wrench pinches, two minor stabbings with a staple puller, and no dropping of heavy items on toes or cats.
I'm so tired of pulling staples.

It's Val's 5th birthday/gotcha day today!
She has already had some extra treats, put on her Valentine's heart collar, and will of course be receiving a fancy tuna dinner followed by a round of laser beam.
Here's to many more years with my sweet (goblin child) Vally girl!

My photo memories delivered today with the final triumphant stack of all the foreign language versions of Pandemic Legacy 0! The print production was truly a nightmare. The files were horrible to proof because of some errors in the 5th plate K setup. Everyone involved was so over it by the end!!

Almost accidentally threw away this artifact that had slipped under the box flap. I think this was from the super cold day we went? Turns out football is even more boring live!

Finally getting rid of the box for my 2001 iBook (that I used to write Gundam Wing fanfiction on in high school bio class). It used to be a keeping box but got a bigger one so it's just been sitting in the corner of my bedroom for 4 years. Good bye, old friend, it was a good 24 years.

There is so much suffering and anger in the world right now. I can not change this nor do I think platitudes about "better days" are always helpful. But, I do think looking at my cat's cute face helps me stop staring too long into the emotional abyss so maybe it will help you too.

Val has been incredibly happy that my sister/roomie and I are back from our North Woods vacation. We are so rarely both gone at the same time that it means she gets really clingy afterward.

Finished up the amigurumi mouse and stuffed it with cotton batting scraps and catnip. Val immediately started bunny kicking and biting just like her old mouse!
