* I am still fighting the lung thing, successfully, I think, but i am endlessly exhausted with it. Add on the demands of keeping up with the firehouse of horror out of Texas and DC, I am barely functional really. I failed to forge again today. I really need to go Friday as certain essentials are running low.
Livia went missing for seven hours last night. I couldn't see how she could have escaped, but it wan't like her and i became worried she was hiding in Squirrel's and I eventually had to close the door so I could turf Tavy out when he started a ruckus with LM around 6AM. It eventually turnd out she'd made a mest for herself behind the big blaack fan in my bedroom, a particularly clever bit of stripey camouflage that also protected her from Tavy when he is in a mood thanks to the angle of the fan.
She went missing again this evening. Wasn't in her usual haunts or new mesting spot. Did not turn up for bathroom time. My theory is she snuck out while my back was turned to compost things during dinner prep. Unlike Tavy, who when he wants to get back in after an escape comes and bangs hard on the door, it turns out she peers nervously in, then runs away when I go to let her in. I couldn't just leave it open for her as Tavy in his concern about her absence kept trying to follow me out to go look for her. I did manage to get around behind the bushes and shake them with my crutch and she had the sense to run back in, but this is really concerning. She is so shy and yet so obsessed with outside lately. I haven't really started her leash training as I need to catch her in the right place, in the right mood, in the right weather and time of day, but it's become urgent given her propensity to escape.
At least both the junior kitties know where they live. Poor LM got out of Squirrel's bedroom window long ago before they came to live with us and she was lost for a week because she was too scared to come to Squirrel when he called and she did not know where she lived. He only got her back because she tried to climb in his landlord's bathroom window. Luckily LM is so terrified of outside that she is the least likely of any cat I've ever lived with to cross a thresh hold.
* So I had this much of yesterday's post when things slowed to a crawl. No big, I thought. I'll go eat and lung while I reboot. Bwahahahaha! No. I watched the whole of the second half of the Expanse two part finale and drunk history wwhile i did those things but when i came back it was only 25% done with a warning of multiple reboots and that it was going to "take a long time." So frankly I gave up and went to bed. So not only am I facing 8-10 hours of today's News nightmare (Since 45's mass kidnapping and interment camp thing that is how long it takes to aggregate), but 1/2-2/3 of yesterday's. I will do my best, but expect delays through the weekend. My apologies.
* I vote they let Yvette Nicole Brown host Talking Dead from here on out. Hear me out: She’s enthusiastically Geeky, she loves the show and takes copious notes on it, and she has consistently been the very best non-cast celebrity guest on there.
* Angua becomes Captain of the Watch. Bring Tissues: http://gwydionmisha.tumblr.com/post/175336110532/angua-von-%C3%BCberwald-knighted-under-lady-sybil
* Me watching the Expanse: Hey, is that Fancy? Fancy from Killjoys? OMG!!! It is! I'd know those lovely cheekbones anywhere. Is that four Killjoys actors in The Expanse so far or five?
* Star Trek, The Animated Series:
- 1.11: The Terratin Incident. They get an unknown code in a very old code from a crystalline planet. Some weird beam hits and makes a mess of the engines. Impulse will need full rewiring and the dilithium in the warp engine fractured in spiral patterns, and the personnel shrank. They are still under bombardment and are being sucked into the planet. Spock notices only organic matter is shrinking, hence them all staying clothed. <.< >.> they have 32 minutes before they are too small to control the ship. There are some tiny people using giant instrument adventures. Nurse Chapel nearly drowns in the fish tank trying to get a tool to fix Sulu's leg. Kirk beams down and is returned to normal size by the transporter. when he gets back, the bridge crew had been beamed away. he threatens the locals with destruction unless they return the crew. The locals are a shrunk lost colony on a now dying world. The locals have dilithium and are beamed back. They fix the ship and rescue the tiny city and relocate them to a safe planet.
I’m really appreciating how tight the pacing on these is.
