And I'm not holding him anymore. I figured he was nice and relaxed, I should do his eye drop now.

Thanks to Michael's having spooky floral goth/witchy -themed planner stickers, I have unearthed my big planner and my small datebook, in the hopes of learning the habit of using them. Because I need to; freelance life and starting the media empire requires it.

It's been a very icky day in some ways . Came home and some cat threw up in both the food bowls so the cats hadn't eaten much. One litterbox was full, the other unused and both cats had peed in front of the bathtub. The bathmat wasn't down and so they went there.

I moved a litterbox there and it was used by Penny. She won't use that box if it's in my room.

How do I get them to stop peeing on the bathroom floor?

On the other hand I posted pictures of me and Matthew on FB. I wasn't going to because I'm self conscious about my looks right now , I've gained weight again and my face is too fat. but I put the pictures up anyway because I want to share them.

The Blasey Ford stuff is kicking up terrible things for me, too.

Me too. That sort of high school guy, in particular, and the way that yearbook talked about girls, and how the men in those photos are blatantly lying about what those captions meant and just laughing at all of us.

(I'm also absurdly stressed out, because I just barely got caught up with everything at work, and now I've got to get a bunch of stuff done ahead of time, since I'm having hand surgery on Friday and I'm not sure how much writing and typing I'll be able to do while that heals.)

Being on a college campus all the time is kind of not helping my mental state at the moment.

Hil, I'm sending out all the supportive vibes I can.

Askye, maybe try Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract litter? [link]

With Harvey no longer able to regulatate his body temperature, I feel so guilty trying to make him get off my chest when I'm having a hot flash. Toooooooooo smothery.

I'm sorry this story is so painful for so many. Blasey Ford, and all the women who have come forward to face their abusers are heroes, and my heart breaks for them and their families. I really hope that it is changing the world. {{All of us}}

Oh dear, WindSparrow. The thought of a kitty on me during a hot flash just made me go ewwww. Be understanding, Harvey.

I try to tolerate for as long as I can because he's 20. The time is going to come when I will look back and wish I could still be holding him. And then I remember I bought the heated cat beds for a reason.

Well, a heated cat bed has the advantage of no inconvenient moving. Or breathing.
