My baby cat is still wary of me but she came to hang out within a safe distance and even let me pet her!

A black cat stretches out on the corner of a bed covered in a gray sheet. The wall behind her is a dark purple. You can also see a mobility chair in the background. At the bottom right hand corner there is the edge of a pink comforter.

I have a view now. I guess that’s something.

Cloudy view of a red deck and a yellow garage out a sliding glass door.

Okay ignore that there is still a hole in my ceiling. It will get patched. I have a new toy! The electrician brought me a Smart bulb for my new light fixture!

A clear round glass light fixture with a brushed nickel base on a white ceiling next to a round hole where wire was run. The lightbulb is teal!

This may not seem like much but it is more progress than I thought I’d make today. And yes I know my stitches are uneven. It will be okay.

Several straight embroidery stitches in green thread on white fabric, making a small rectangle.

I have the replacement embroidery floss. Time to wind it on the bobbins and put them on the keychain so they all stay together.

A collection of DMC embroidery floss in black, electric blue, blue, yellow, orange, light purple, dark purple, white, red, dark yellow, and dark green.

I want to do something but all my current craft projects are in the car from chemo and I feel bad asking Spouse to go get it because it’s late anyway… fuck. Anyway here’s the not quite right granny square I made. Needs blocking, I’m afraid.

A granny square with blue border and a white star in the center is sitting on a white blanket. The star takes up most of the center of the granny square.

Meme states : “What’s going on?” With options “it’s annoying or not interesting” , “I’m in this photo and I don’t like it” “I think this shouldn’t be on Facebook” and “it’s spam”. The second option is selected.

I did not feel good when I got home from getting my injection today. Wednesday has been curled up next to me like this, fully under the blanket, for half an hour.

A black cat is snuggled in multicolored blankets , her paw splayed out in front of her. She looks slightly disgruntled about the picture.

Kiddo asked me to print her Girl Scout activity in doll size…. So I did. Because for some reason 9-in-1 is a printer page setting and ALSO the perfect size for American Girl dolls.

Two 1/3 size sheets of paper sit on a laptop keyboard. The words are mostly too small or blurry to read but the top paper says draw the way you feel.

I made this doll sized passport for the Artemis project after splashdown (and 2 more, and two full sized ones) but never got a picture of any of them. This is the one I accidentally spilled water on, but it’s still a good example.

Bored on a Sunday morning so let me just jump in here with this:

It’s always #wontlookWednesday when your name is Wednesday! Happy Caturday, everyone!

Okay so NASA please don't sue me, hate me, smite me, or above all, take this out on my space-loving daughter, but I scraped the name off my boarding pass so that if someone wanted a blank one for whatever reason, they could have one. ... #CatsofBlueSky, want to go to the moon? #copymoonjoy

When they were wee tiny - almost 6 years ago.

Two tiny black kittens snuggling together so close it’s hard to see where one ends and the other begins.

Guys I’m crying. Morticia came and laid on me of her own accord for the first time since I came home from the hospital nearly a year ago. Still no pets but she’s here!

Wednesday volunteers for cuddles if Rollie disagrees.

Making myself feel better by posting pictures from that Sim wedding I did. I made the wreath (out of parts from other people), the dress, the cake, and the table decorations.

From Sims 2: A male sim stands in front of a adult-sized twig wreath decorated with flowers and lights, hanging from a tree. His bride appears to be sitting on the wreath. It is dark outside

From Sims 2: A bride and groom kiss in front of a tree that is draped with beige fabric. It is nighttime.

From Sims 2: The groom feeds the bride a bite of cake.

From Sims 2: The bride and groom sit at a table eating cake at a white table decorated with roses and daisies, place cards, and a table number that is mossy and reads the number 5.

I pulled off the party with Kiddo. She was so happy!

Later than intended but all that’s left is the party hats and the party!

A small heart shaped cake with pink frosting is in a pan in the foreground and a round pink cake on a glass cake stand sits in the background. Both are on a black table.

I used this time to play the sim wedding I've been working on. It crashed so they won't be officially married until I load again, but I got pictures! (Way more pictures than these three; I just don't want to spam everyone.)

A female character from The Sims 2, dressed in a white gown and carrying a bouquet, walks up a church aisle decorated with blue and purple flowers. There are guests visible in the pews.

A male and female sim kiss under a wood altar decorated with blue curtains and blue and purple flowers. The two bridesmaids and two flower girls can be seen on the left, and one groomsman is visible on the right.

Okay so I'm still not thrilled with the flower on it but, look! I did it! It just took me ... 8 days longer than I thought. But that was the game, not me being sick, at least.

An image from The Sims 2 of a box with a flower and label on it. The label has Simlish writing.

Co-present for me and kiddo: Samantha’s brass bed from American Girl/Pleasant Company. Will be the bed for the new doll, Raquel, who is canonically Samantha’s great-granddaughter. I always wanted this when I was a kid but I was lucky mom even had money for the doll.
