We are a determined bunch from what I can gather, although there are still too many Trump signs for my liking (which means, more than none).
There are lots of Trump signs in central NY, but as we pass houses with no signs DH says Biden Biden Biden.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I decided to stop working half an hour early so I could lie down. Don't tell anyone

t, I stopped work early so I could go pick up flea meds for Rory and take him to the dog park. Hopefully he is worn out. I didn't get much email while I was gone so...yay.

I just bought the kitty an Advent calendar. I don't even know if he celebrates Christmas.
Hilarious.
Uh, where'd you get it? Asking for a pet. Or two.

It's this one, from Chewy. com: [link] It's a 12 Days of Christmas one, not 24 (or 25) days, but really, the cat doesn't need 24 new little toys underfoot. I'm not sure he needs 12 new toys, but the calendar is so freaking cute, and the holidays are going to suckety SUCK this year because we can't even see our families because of Covid, so fuck it, the cat gets an Advent calendar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Damn, Cass. Good for you for persevering, but you're right that not everyone would be able to.
Glad your aunt is more or less OK, sj.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
A timed feeder wouldn't solve the problem of the middle-of-the-night yowling for food, alas.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

When Petri kept trying to wake me up earlier and earlier I tied mealtime to my alarm. I always set an alarm and I always fed him right after the alarm. One morning I woke up before the alarm went off and saw him giving the alarm clock the vulture stare. It saved me from being trampled each morning and waking to his face in mine.
I also switched from feeding twice a day to 3x. He actually got less total food that way, but he didn't notice.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I have a feeder I set up for my feral cat colony and I've started setting the feeder for 3:30 in the morning since they are more nocturnal. I dole out small amounts at a time because they like to graze, but if I put out too much at a time then they seem to not eat it all and it attracts other critters. I have a spy cam set up to watch them and it's so funny to see them come running when the machine doles out food.
Fortunately I've mostly trained my indoor kitties to realize that I'll feed them when I'm ready and not necessarily when they are.
