@elainelee.bsky.social was at the Dimension 20 show tonight and was delighted to hear you were in attendance. Wish you were doing a signing of Starstruck somewhere like the comic book museum though would love my copy signed. Have a lovely visit.

As of today I have been in this country for 9 years. Also as of today Cally has been gone for 2 months. Both of these things are bringing up a lot of emotion. Sigh.

It has been a thoroughly awful month or so. Two weeks from tomorrow I get an unexpected two week vacation home. Sad circumstances (cat having passed) but with other terrible things happening it will be good to take husband and just go be in the sun for a bit.

I need a theater buddy in the UK. I have a lot of friends but due to various different circumstances none of them have theatre money. I have theatre money and a spouse who doesn't like the theater much bc being anywhere but the floor gives him vertigo.

Anyone have random songs that just mark a time of great sadness in your life? Like not even necessarily sad songs but at the moment you were hurting they were your sad anthem? Last time I had a big moment it was Bridge over Troubled Water (I know not a sad song) and it had me in its grasp.

First day without our Cally cat. Had a vet come round the house and sort her here but I've taken the week off work because I am not ok and I refuse to struggle through crying to deal with work stress. She is so missed. She was deeply ingrained in our day to day activities.

Insanely tough week thus far. Our cat is declining in health. If we can keep her comfy she has a liver ultrasound on Monday but we have a palliative care vet on call in case we need to say goodbye asap. Gonna miss her so much that I have been crying for four days straight.

Getting super burned out on work now that I have things to look forward to. Unfortunately I have do quite a lot of non work non fun things first as well. Motivational issues are so real.

Another week done and marked safe from keeping our mental health working group from falling to the three members of it who think everyone with poor mental health should just eat better and exercise.

I'm buying a load of groceries with a fair bit of fresh food in it. So help me god I need to prioritize eating it both for myself and to not be wasteful. I need to counter how much Taco Bell I ate in the USA.

A little dragon prayer. Couldn't decide if colour worked or if the sketch was better 🤔 I feel like a character sometimes lives for me most in the simplest sketch form.

Random fact. The graduation song for the class two years before mine was written by an Emmy award winning composer for his daughter and was about Pangur Ban. The rest of the graduating class was less than pleased it wasn't "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day.
Pangur Ban
Pangur Ban
Feline friend to Spider-Man
Irish cat
From the past
Immortal, strong, and super-fast
Me-ow!

Welp here comes part of the outer most storm wall from Idalia. It's such a massive storm this bit is supposed to come & go for over 12 hours. Crossing paws for everyone where this puppy is meant to make landfall & the coastal areas with the high storm surge. Hoping the trees and roof stay put here.

First time in years I show up to the parents house with in the window of hurricane season and sure enough...one's on the way. Dang it.

So I cannot see them but based on the super high pitched baby shrieks I'm hearing outside...the bald eagles are hanging out somewhere nearby. They may look fancy as all heck but they sound like scared kittens almost when they cry to each other. Something of a metaphor in there I'm sure.

I love musicals but I did not care for Moulin Rouge!. It insists on itself.
So... what’s your “I did not care for the Godfather”?

My parent's cat has mastered being a morning alarm that you must wake up for. If you don't wake up to feed him when he mews (its the most quiet meow in the history of ever) he goes to the blinds for the screen door and walks through them so they slam together until you're awake. Effective.

Downloaded Pokemon sleep a few days ago because if I'm going to sleep a billion hours a day I should earn something. Hand to god my parents cat has been awake more than me some days and that's impressive.

Spent a fortune at the pharmacy today stocking up on all sorts of medicine I need. Better believe I bought myself two Bluey toys as a treat. My "fun item" cannot be dehydration prevention sachets even if they are pina colada flavored.

So I love having pets but is there anything more demotivating than trying to work and having your pet snoring happily next to you without a care in the world? Especially in the last hour of work. I get you're happy and cozy but I still need to earn money to keep you happy and cozy.
