So, Scout got out today. And by 'out' I mean 'onto the top of the shed, then into the neighbour's tree'. It was. Extremely stressful!

She did eventually come back, though, after enough time spent waving around her favourite toy and calling her and etc. So at least there was that! Clearly I was getting too complacent, though, this time I really only looked away for long enough to answer a text from Mama! As opposed to the not-few times I've zoned out a bit and freaked out when I couldn't see her immediately. I just. Caaaaats.

Anyway, not much other than that! Have to wake up early tomorrow, bleh, but it should be fine. Probably.

Vet day today!

We ended up having to go to the further away vet anyway; we went to our usual but the vet there was all '...we don't have an xray machine here and it might just be swelling but I'd really like to make sure he doesn't have any broken bones in his tail', so yeah. We went and did that.

It turns out it IS just swelling! Which is a relief and a half! They gave him a painkiller injection (which should last ~3 days, which is really! Impressive!!), and I've got some more anti-inflammatory painkillers for when that wears off. Plus poop medication, because while they thankfully didn't find any broken bones on the xray they did find he was full of poop. Probably because moving his tail was so painful! But medication just in case, too.

Anyway, despite All Of That, and also having to be sedated for the xray, more or less the first thing Sushi did when we got home (perked up a LOT from the painkiller) was start sniffing at the back door, trying to figure out if he could get it open and go Outside. SIGH. He has clearly not learned a single thing!

But hey, at least he'll be fine! Eventually! And he's feeling better, too, which is great.

Other than that, played a bunch of Terraria both with people and by myself, and then I got distracted and... yeah. But, you know, stuff and things and more stuff and more things and whatever. Yes. Bed time.

Sushi update; no real change from last night but not because nothing happened. )

Blanket updates!! :D )

I'm going head-first into finishing the blanket because we got news from the window people - nothing's decided for sure yet but they might be coming as early as the 1st of December, which means I have to move... pretty much all of my stuff out of here. Which is. A lot of stuff. We've gotta prepare somewhere to put it first, which is why I haven't started moving things yet, but getting this project entirely finished so that all of the parts can go AWAY is going to be extremely helpful. Including the sewing machine, because we can then put it away and use the cabinet as a flat surface for storage purposes, hahaha. (Also then I don't have to worry about the weather changing and being without a blanket. That will help too.)

I also played some Terraria this evening - fuck I forgot how hard this game is. Also gotta get used to the UI again etc etc. But even though I got squished by King Slime, I think I made some real progress - found some good accessories (cloud in a bottle, sandstorm in a bottle, and flippers!), plus a magic mirror... it's a decent enough start! :3 Hopefully multiplayer shenanigans tomorrow, but that'll depend on Sushi as much as anything, sigh.

Why is it he's usually affectionate when it's the least convenient time? Cats!!!

Anyway, work was... honestly mostly fighting with Powershell again, which was a nice change. Also frustrating, of course, but eh.

After work some more Stardew! Ended up just being one really big day, since it was the first of summer and ALSO there were a few cutscenes. (Mainly because the first of summer though. So much planting!!!)

Also ended up fussing with some mod things, which is uh. Slow going stuff but will be useful! Or at least give me some minor QoL stuff, maybe useful is overstating it a little...

Anyway now to try and extract myself from under Sushi without annoying him. I do not like my chances, but office tomorrow, gotta try!

Took the day off from work. I was planning on working a bit then going and helping and then working when I got back, but I slept like crap and I just could. not. be fucked this morning. Pretty sure I made the right call!

Ugh. )

Anyway, we were only there about two hours and managed to go through the bulk of it, before Mama Required Food Right Now, Feeling Woozy, and we went to have lunch. Mama did drop by again in the afternoon, but basically didn't do anything else, she kinda got there and just... out of brain error, basically. Which is fair! She's going again tomorrow with Auntie M anyway.

I remembered this morning that I really had to make a doctor's appointment this week, so I called and they had an appointment in the afternoon, so I went and did that. Annoyingly, the pharmacy was out of my meds, so I'll need to go pick them up tomorrow, but eh, these things happen. At least I already told work I'd be WFH this week!

Did play a bit of Stardew, though nowhere near as much as yesterday. Nothing particularly new there, though, just trying to save up for the next house upgrade, so I can get the cellar after that. Ugh, so spendy ;; Maybe I'll do the barn and coop upgrades instead, should be about the same amount of cash, and I can start getting goats and rabbits and pigs and getting their friendship up.

...ffs Sushi those are MY SHOES don't FIGHT them omfg. Ugh. Okay, they're hidden under some bags, so now I won't be able to find them tomorrow but at least they'll be in once piece!!

And now he's fighting a blanket instead. I just. I give up. I'm going to bed, damnit.

So, this morning Sushi decided to wake me up at 8:30am. This being an unreasonable time, I told him to fuck off and went back to sleep. I'm not sure how I could have done otherwise, but also: mistake. Didn't wake up again until 1pm. Argh!!

Anyway. Stuff, things, stuff and things. Took Sushi out again today, which would have been a lot nicer if he didn't run up a tree when I was close enough to it he could get Fairly Goddamn High up there. And he had absolutely no intention of getting down, because there were birds. Not that he could reach them! Particularly since he was still on the leash! But BIRDS. Clearly the most important thing in the entire universe, if you're a Sushi.

Sigh. )

Other than that, did some uni work. Flopped around. Finished cooking my beans! :D They're still not perfect, but good, yes. :3 And now I have tasty food for a while! Until it runs out, yesssss. Nom nom nom.

tyger: Law (One Piece) - What the fuck? (Law - wtf)
I'm just gonna paste my conversation with Azy, because what the fuck, Sushi.

Seriously, what the fuck. )

Caaaats!!!

Also I didn't do much today but! I did print out the pattern for a mask, and cut the pieces out and prepare the fabric for pinning! By then it was 3am so I haven't done anything else to it, but! Yes!! I'm almost out of meds, so I need to go down the shops soon, so maybe I'll have an actual mask by then. If not, well, I'm still not worried really, but showing-willing and all~!

......cats.

Slept most of the day because... well, it's cold and I'm easily lulled to sleep by cat purring. >>;;

But also! Sushi! Has come back to his roots and is knocking shit off the top of the bookshelves again. I can only assume he's walked on stuff so much it's dislodged again, but yeah. At least this time I haven't had anything fall actually onto me yet! That's something!

Other than that... domestic stuff, mainly. Also I played "Jam and the Mystery of the Mysteriously Spooky Mansion", which was. An experience!!!!! Also, hilarious.

Added a small toy to the cat scratching post. Fixed a mousie toy! Actually didn't have to chase Sushi off the clotheshorse even ONCE while I was hanging washing out, what even. Also they've both been following me around the house as I scooped the catboxes and also got ready for bed and just. Ahhhh. (Why is scooping the catboxes a before-bed task? IDEK, but apparently that works with my brain so there we go!!!)

Anyway. Nap now. Yes. (And then hopefully NOT sleep after I wake up for cat breakfast time...)

Tortilla was very shy today. We're pretty sure that when Mama went in to say hi this morning Sushi zoomed in and immediately started harassing her to get out of bed, and was just generally kind of a dick. :/ Damnit, Sushi!

So going to keep them apart for the next couple of days, and see if that helps. I hope it does! Tortilla clearly needs somewhere that is Hers and Safe and Sushi is. Yeaaaah. Sushi does not understand the need to chill the fuck out, and I have no idea how to teach him it first thing in the morning when I have maybe one and a half braincells and all of them just want to go back to sleep. So, current plan is to keep them apart for now, and once Tortilla is feeling more confident to reintroduce them slowly, and definitely not first thing in the morning when Sushi Really Wants Food And If Not Food Biting, ugh. Sushi is great in many ways but not that one, nope.

(It would of course help if there was a way for Tortilla to come out when she felt like it and have a safe space to go back to when she was done, but they're roughly the same size and Sushi has zero sense of boundaries. Just none. So I cannot figure out a way for that to happen.)

Soooo this morning I opened a window because a) while it wasn't precisely nice out it also wasn't horrible, and airflow is good, and b) Sushi does like to sit in the windows.

Sushi makes trouble again. )

Also he decided he wanted to play on the windowsill behind my curtains just now and knocked over my water jug. That at least is easy to deal with, just annoying. (Also I'm glad I just keep water there, and make up cordial in my glass!)

In non-Sushi related news, I actually got somewhere on my server! \o/ Currently having a routing problem but I'm pretty sure I know how to deal with that, just uh, not editing the router while tired because that didn't turn out so good last time. But once that's fixed I'll actually have something more or less done?? What is this fuckery! *laughs*
