Very grateful to have only had some fatigue and a 2010s Tumblr house style red nose as topical chemo side effects so far, and a good boy who can tell when I’m tired and howls like a dog until I lie down

A sealpoint and white cat with pink ears resting his head on one paw on my ankle. According to every cat we’ve had this green throw blanket I’m under is the greatest thing since Churu

Last dose of topical chemo, went looking for a reference book in our hoard and didn’t find it but found these two very seasonal TBR pile escapees to read instead, cheers y’all

Left: Something in the Blood: the Untold Story of Bram Stoker, the Man Who Wrote Dracula by the late lamented David J. Skal
Right: Botanical Curses and Poisons: the Shadow Lives of Plants by Fen Inkwright (disregard outdated name on cover)

Just realized I have to quit Ollie kisses cold turkey while I’m doing treatment. For a WEEK

POV: you just told Ollie how kind and generous people have been about helping with his $$$ cardio exam bill

Ollie, the cutest and naughtiest little cat who ever lived. He’s sealpoint and white with pink ears and nose and blue eyes and he’s sitting in a cardboard box much smaller than he is. He’s looking up at my off-camera wiggling fingers (the only way to get his attention) with a bright-eyed and winsome expression

Ollie hopes you feel this chill again soon

12 pounds of lil bastard boxed and ready to ship, as-is (minor heart mutation, some biting), US only

A sealpoint and white cat curled up in an open cardboard box. You can’t tell but this is a comically tiny box and he’s a big cat, it’s like seeing Alan Ritchson in a Smartcar

A present to you for reading this far:

An extremely relaxed and happy sealpoint and white cat is sprawled on his back between two people in black clothes sitting on a couch. The cat’s head is lolling back with his mouth cracked open as if he’s smiling

Post something random or you’ll have an awful September

Where to start. An anthropomorphized worm creature with a cute face and antennae is lying on the grass in a pretzel shape, It’s smiling and saying “It works every time”. I’m not 100% sure but it’s almost certainly an out of context Nancy panel by Ernie Bushmiller. Happy September, I hope whatever “it” is for you works every time too

Ollie’s heart: INNOCENT!! The rest of Ollie: well,

This week we find out how bad off Ollie and I might be!! Tomorrow: is the possible heart murmur “innocent” or not

A goofy gray colorpoint and white cat with blue eyes sprawling on his back on a gray carpet. He is stupid and silly and loved and doesn’t deserve to have things like heart murmurs happening to him

Made another jar of pickled cowhorns for my folks, with seeds and most ribs removed because despite growing new varietals every summer and somehow making them wildly hotter than they’re meant to be they don’t actually like too much heat??

A jar of bright red cowhorn peppers, bay leaf, star anise, cinnamon, and cloves in a pickling solution made with four herb and hot pepper vinegar

Made an appointment with the feline cardiologist and my stomach hit the floor when they casually dropped the “basic” consultation fee

Ollie needs anxiety medication and might have a heart murmur, I might have skin cancer

They look like the “dramatized re-enactment” part of a History Channel documentary

L-R I’m gonna keep it real with you I don’t know any of these guys other than Barry Keoghan, so it’s him dressed as Ringo Starr and three other douches dressed up as John Lennon, George Harrison, and Paul McCartney, all in the famous “Abbey Road crossing” outfits

My mom accidentally committed a minor chemical assault incident when she sauteed a handful of these for tacos the other day so we’ll see in two weeks if this is an edible war crime

Isn’t it lucky I made four herb and hot pepper vinegar in June so I have something real good to pickle these in today?

We’ve been watching Dark Winds at @msperoni.bsky.social’s insistence and I’ve seen enough: car cooler than he is, always getting shot, disastrously stupid about the woman he loves, welcome back Endeavour Morse
