Dec. 14th, 2017 12:37 pmThis morning went pretty well, talked with Mom at an hour that surprised her (I can do this on thyroid medication!) and got ready for work and successfully did eyeliner. Mostly successfully? Yeah, I think so. And the new hair goop keeps my bangs as bangs instead of as shorter bits of hair parted to the side but drifting down in a weird no actual style haircut. And doesn't make them crusty. And I got out to work on time and I wasn't sore after class yesterday!
But ahahah then I got to work and, once again, all hell broke loose. Including some technical difficulties that took almost two hours to resolve, ugh. Christmas in retail.
Now that BatCat is home again the boy and I can talk (without it feeling like pipe dreams for a day that will never come) about making a cat playpen out in the backyard. He also wants to winterize the shed, which I like as an idea because the Barton-and-Cassius pair have taken over half the crawlspace and I know there's at least a couple more cats wandering around who might want to shelter in there. Winterizing it won't take much either, we'll put up more solid walls over the lattice and maybe find some old packing blankets to nail to the interior, we'll get cardboard boxes to put towards the center where they might not get rained on and stay intact, I'm not sure what we'll do about the cement poured flooring but we'll figure something out. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free!
Once we get that done we'll put up maybe a small fence around the patio? Or mesh in between the slats of the porch and put up a kiddie gate on the shallow steps? I'm not sure which plan we'll go with. I also have a potentially wild plan to train Bat Cat to a harness leash like training a horse to saddle and bridle, which is not a thing I ever thought I would put that knowledge to use for. But it might work. It'll take time, probably a lot of time, but it'll also probably work better than just trying to stuff his head through the damn thing. (Although you never know, he also takes his flea medication a lot easier than anyone else.)
I managed to get, in all the chaos at the day job today, a Patreon post uploaded and a short story uploaded to the web page, as well as getting an SSL certificate for my page and now I am utterly and completely shot for anything productive. My brain is fried. I'm going out to dinner, which will be good and fun and I'll enjoy myself and I might recharge, but my brain is totally fried and I need to get at least Witches' Child edited tonight so I can go over it tomorrow and send it out ugh. Plus a bunch of other stuff I'm behind on after this weekend. Yuck.
Plus side I suppose is at least I'm not as far behind as I could be. And I have plans and so on, I'm just consistently getting my ass kicked by Christmas In Retail. Bit by bit. If all I have is half a brain I can at least do background.
