I was lucky enough to get to shoot in a deconsecrated church with @heavenly.photo just before G-Anime! And, of course, the best choice for churchly photos was timeskip Mercedes von Martritz from FE:3Houses!

We got original Sakizo sketches! (I used my purchase on behalf of a friend of a friend, since I'm not a Sakizo person beyond thinking "Aaaah pretty!")

I really do need Volume II of the FFXIV cookbook, but it's really not in the budget right now. Partly because of the book price, but also because I know I'd dive into the recipes and ingredients=$$$
Last time, I did the EX: I made croissants from scratch. They leaked butter but were delicious.

I finally got my cookbook shelf up where I can easily access them while cooking. The small binders are hand-written or newspaper-clipping recipes from my paternal grandmother. The Cuisines of Asia one is similarly inherited (I don't think I've ever looked at it) but the old Joy of Cooking is great.

Best of luck from someone who was in the same position over Christmas Eve and Christmas, and I hope for the same outcome: happy cat home with at least some answers.

Well, managed to scrape together enough for one of the two or three SureFeed feeders I'll need to keep Gaia from eating the other cats' food, and as with almost any cat item, there're a bunch of 3d printable accessories out there to customize it. All photos taken from the print file listings.

I was going to try the new extreme trial, but uh. I cannot move one hand because it is trapped under 22lb of fluffy boys.

Have a Christmas photo from Gaia, who got stuck at the ER vet overnight as is traditional in my family during the holidays, but who is home and starving now.
(I suspect the vet took this because his Dad, who knows and loves Gaia, requested it.)

Proving yet again that she is a better schedule-keeper than I, she just came and sat on my mouse hand and stared at me until I got up and ran a bath like I normally do before bed.

On clearance at Marshall's for $15, so I used some Christmas gift money to buy it. It's so ridiculous it circled back to amazing, and if it were tricolour it would be Sully, but close enough.
