wet town streets and no parades
unbothered era ]
Yo, VIP. It’s Wednesday. I’m up, sitting on the couch, watching a weather segment on the news that promises half the United States is going to burn up by the week’s end. I woke up entirely too early, too hot, and too damp. Podrick snuggled me a few times, letting me sleep between visits. I got up because I needed to, did what I needed, then got coffee going. Shawshank, at the time I type this, is still in bed.
Yesterday was a nice day. Shawshank had a morning appointment to go to, followed by a visit to Shady Acres for tech support. He returned home with their vacuum. We pulled all the cat things out of the living room and did the carpet. Since his mom was coming for dinner, he moved The Bean out of the bedroom for me to sit on.
While he was out, I closed up the back and declared my bee project officially finished. It turned out nicely. I didn’t waste much time moving on. After a little back and forth – do the next bee kit, or skip the last kit and move on to the larger one I made – Shawshank said “do the big hoop”. While it’s not THE BIG HOOP, it’s big enough. It’s a 10″ hoop, and that’s large enough to hold, thanks. Shawshank spent the rest of the afternoon playing video games, while I did internet shit.
The afternoon dragged on, until it was time to pick up his mother and bring her over for dinner. It’s a whole new thing to have cats who are social, as both cats ran to the door and checked her out before she could even get into the kitchen. She sat on the couch and played with Podrick, dangling her cane’s wrist strap over his head. Pod responded by giving her a thorough sniff-inspection. Shawshank prepped a salad and cooked up some veal cutlets and rice, while I made a pot of Japanese curry.
We have another day off. It’s raining, which doesn’t matter since we don’t plan on really leaving the house today1. Shawshank is going to make us brunch, and burgers for dinner. We’ll consider everything in between to be self care.
- he’s going to Shady Acres to move something out of the truck, and that’s about it. ↩︎
