I'm northern - gaming, knitting and everyday stuff with cats and being a librarian. I'm fannish, but haven't written anything in years. I read SFF books.
Fiona is being, like, "I can't be expected to eat next to this ...aberration!!" so she gets her food on the counter, like she did when Opal was new here. I guess she's just super sensitive to vet stuff.
This summer I will be supporting the Mongolian Olympic team because this is their uniform and it is a thousand times better than anything Nike has ever made.
Sigh, I bought the smallest size body for her but it’s still too large. She is 2.2 kg so she’s grown more than a kg since she came, but apparently not enough for a body. Guess I’ll try doing this without and see if it’s fine anyway.
for everyone who has been enjoying dyspraxia chat today (or is in any other way neurodiverse or different in your body): do read Susan Sontag's Illness As Metaphor
every single illness and difference that we had no ready explanation for has always been interpreted as a character or moral flaw
(I met a neurologist at a party and told him I'd managed to forget how to ride a bike - which was quite upsetting for me when I discovered it, as it had been a VERY hard-won skill as a child - and he said "ah right that's diagnostic for dyspraxia. Non-dyspraxics really can't forget.")
LOL. They actually want it - I did not expect that quick of an affair. Asking price, which is just fine. I’ll call my agent back and there should be contract writing pretty soon if things work out.
Whoops, a prospective buyer wants to see my condo today (first showing is Sunday). I guess I’ll clean now! It won’t be super excellent and there will be two cats, but the person is forewarned and wants to come anyway. (He’s going away on vacation and can’t do Sunday.)
Got myself a seat where I can keep an eye on my bike easily. I’ve never brought a bike on the train before, so I kind of expected a rack or something, but at least there’s a “seatbelt”. :)
My plan for my condo showing in one week is to hang out in the park with the cats on leashes under a tree while it's going on, since it's summer. (There must be no trace of cats while showing the condo.)
