Hmmm...while I tend to put longer YouTube videos in my blog (type item), I am tempted to share some shorter videos in my newsfeed (which I did for a while as a test of interest in a possible YouTube-related forum but haven't really done since).
I just folded my underwear and put them in a box in a drawer. Washed yesterday evening, hung to dry. The shirts should be dry as well. I don't use a dryer.
My trek across the bridge to go to market or to treat myself with a milkshake every Saturday is a weekly routine I look forward to.
Today has been a rough one. Yesterday was Easter, the last time we had Grandma over was Easter two years ago. She passed away that May 2nd. Not having her here yesterday hit me and especially my wife hard.
Starting early on today's badge quest. Nothing has happened yet today except that I am caught up on the poetry challenge.
I've done the contest challenge for the month, that leaves the Bradbury, which I am behind by about two months. Without having written my story this month for that I can't enter the Bradbury contest. And I only have 7 entries towards I write for the year. That isn't quite 2 per month. I've forgotten how many I need to have finished by now. I should check.
Update:
I only need 25 entries for I write 2025. And I just finished entry 8. And entry 8 for the Bradbury. Both with an entry to the daily flash fiction contest.
And it's only 12:24 here, 1:24 WdC time. Not bad for just a little under an hour and a half.
I got the plush cat I bought myself as a consolation prize for not getting the kitten. She is fluffy and I named her Pixie. I made a big purple bow and put it around her neck. She is soft and doesn't argue about cuddles.
The cold water shutoff valve under the new sink is leaking just a smidge. We fiddled with it for an hour and slowed it down even more. Though noe the water shut off valve for the whole house is leaking just a little bit too.
Yea! the bathroom fixtures are installed. New potty new sink and vanity. New flooring. Now I just need to finish patching the walls and paint. Then I will have finished the second room in my house to my satisfaction.
The lady with the cat was either a scammer or a complete ditz. She kept ping-ponging around with her answers and would take over 24 hours to get back to me about a simple question. One day she was coming to town next Friday for their vet visit the next day by noon she'd been in town and was back home from an early vet visit she didn't think to offer to meet up while she was here. I thought okay so she is firm on the earliest on when they would go to their new homes. Then she texts me at 10 pm to arrange to drop her off today with payment. I told her I no longer had the money because I made it clear I couldn't track that far out of town for a cat. I suspect she would have asked for PayPal payment and that would have been the last I heard from her.
So we probably won't be getting the kitten. The breeder ghosted me after I asked if she could drop the kitten off after her vet appointment next Friday. They come in from out of town and I thought we could meet at the vet but she never answered me on which vet they used.
I'm bummed. She is a beautiful kitten. it sucks that they would just ghost me. They probably found someone else to rehome her with. The ad on Craig's list is gone. It's like she never existed. I didn't even get to meet her but I feel like I lost her. She was the perfect kitten... But perhaps the reality would have been different and she is really a mischievous demon spawn... And we got lucky.
We are thinking about getting a kitten. I found her on Craig's list. She's a calico and both of her parents are supposed to be maine coon cats she could be a big girl. I question if she's too good to be true but I want her a lot...
