The really fun part about having an awful episode of vomiting, outside of the usual fun of vomiting, is straining your lower back. I am so ow. Walking is unpleasant.

Woke this morning at 5 AM to throw up. Still feel like crap. Everything in the news is awful.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

I know it's difficult to be creative when we're just trying to survive. But it does matter. Whether you make things professionally or as a hobby or even if you make something that you never show to anybody. It's good for the human soul to create.
Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Today is the last day to preorder Opus (full name: Guitar Concerto in C Flat Major, Op. 12: Lucina) before it releases tomorrow! The novella still needs 8 preorders to hit goal (so extremely unlikely) and 11 for me to handmake bookmarks. But...why not try?

Update 3: Nimue has been picked up from her brief hospitalization. No obstructions or poisoning or anything serious. Got meds for diarrhea and nausea. Will hopefully be better soon.
Just...par for the course with a PICA cat 🥲

Update 2: she is showing some New symptoms and I am on hold with the vet now T_T
Update: she seems to be doing okay. Not 100% - mostly been sleeping all day but she's eating okay and is now getting a little more active.
Cat trapped herself in bathroom overnight. Chewed on a the spray spout cap of a bathroom cleaner. Unsure if she consumed anything else but...
She's not acting 100% normal, though managed to eat all her food and hasn't thrown up... So, I'm just in anxious monitoring mode now.

I am not the biggest fan of Thanksgiving as a holiday, but my dad, brother, and I do make a little feast and this year's was probably one of the best I have had. We had a duck instead of turkey. I made some sourdough dinner rolls. My dad made his family's elite taffy apple salad. A happy tummy.
