Wednesday, you're on notice.

Woke up this morning and the combination of BioFreeze, painkillers, and a heating pad seem to have done the trick on my shoulder. But since I'm going to be working in a non-traditional format (no office chair) until further notice, this may change at any moment.  Hopefully, I'll be able to go chair-shopping over the weekend.

Despite all this, I am going to start this day out filled with optimism and affection for all humanity. Try not to fuck it up, okay?
--------------

I'm going to take a break from talking about my kickstarter (although if you've been thinking "I need to sign up for those novellas" now is the time to do it and here's the link where you can do it)  and point you toward my baby brother's Kickstarter for more stories set in his " Cliff's End Castle Guard" fantasy police procedural series. Check it out!

Cat of Size continues to show definite improvement on all fronts, and now that we've moved the site of his injection to just below his shoulder, he doesn't even flinch any more.  He's such a good boy, and I tell him so at every opportunity (which is often, as he's returning to his affectionate-tiger-cub personality.  I had not missed the hair-bite-grooming, le sigh).  Meanwhile, Castiel Kitten of Thursday continues to practice his kitty parkour at all hours of the night, and insist on cuddling all hours of the day.  In other words, he's a kitten.  The fact that we have settled on March 15th as his Official Birthday has nothing whatsoever to do with the Ides of March.  Not intentionally, anyway.

And my keyboard seems to want to shun the "e" and obliterate the name of the "a."  Hold it together keyboard, c'mon, at least another six months....

Beta-Reader Update

I've collected names, and will be winnowing down the list (we got about 3x as many volunteers as were needed). If you didn't include a way to contact you in your hand-raising, you may get dropped to the bottom of the list (there's still time to go back and add it. If you contacted me by email that is, of course, moot).

Damn it, Cas, er, Boomer!

One of Cat of Size's less charming tendencies is, when I'm busy and he wants pettings, the desire to chew on the corner of whatever holds my attention. This often, obviously, means he tries to gnaw on the corner of the laptop.

Today, because I was distracted and focused on what I was doing, meant the oversized bastard BIT THE SCREEN. There is, no lie, a fang-sized hole in the upper right corner of my laptop screen.



(his fangs are fine. He barely even seemed to notice the impact)

On the plus side, I guess? The mystery of how the corner of the iPad Mini got cracked in the exact same place has now been solved.


Oh well.  I was planning on upgrading the laptop at some point this year anyway.  It just became a little more urgent now, is all.  Dear missing checks: please show up RDSN.




(In the future, when I refer to Catofize as "like living with a tiger cub?"  Know that I do not lie!)
