* I got out and did my forage and errands on time, including the long loop as I had gas for it. I am bleeding money I can't afford on meds and the like. Somehow, I'm going to need to find money for laundry detergent as we've been out over a week. *eyes medical debit* Sigh. Tomorrow is fix it, and I think I shall take them the fish light with the loose wire if I get my act together in time.

When I got home, there was Tavy happy to see me, and we had a good play after I put the forage away. There was no sin of Livia. I had honestly started to worry that she might have escaped when Squirrel was carrying the forage in, at which point Tavy started circling the area in front of my room calling for her, clearly concerned by her absence himself. She had been asleep in the mesting box under my desk the whole time, a foot away from my left foot. Doh!

He's been parenting so Hard, yo. I'm so proud of him. He did reach the point in the Sunday AM where the schedule disruption she was creating by insisting they saty on my bed instead of migrating into my office to hang out with me was wearing on him. He likes to be near the Hu-Mon, but his kitten inexplicably does not. It was a stressful conundrum, but being a bright little button, he has solved it by migrating out periodically to sit on the top of the cat tree, positioned where he can watch me and the kitten at the same time. he is, of course spending most of his time with her, in my room and they were curled up together on the blanket for a nap for a ouple of hours, so things are going well. She's more tolerant of me going in there periodically do grab things or change lighting or whatever, though she's not willing to be in the bed when I am in it except for tag with Tavy.
