I found a scrap of paper in this book that I'm reading (team random piece of paper as a bookmark) that I'm pretty sure is from about 20 years ago, especially judging from the terrible songs I listed on the back (the only good one was Star Trekkin').

[I'm spring cleaning, hence the book re-read.]

My Christmas will be me and Wanda (the cat), with some time with Twitch friends too.

I hope you have a good one.

A block of clay on a wooden surface, with a small handmade bowl and a smaller clay fragment beside it. It suggests we can make something of our own, I hope x

To all spending Christmas or the hols estranged from family: you're not broken, selfish, or unworthy. Sometimes, choosing life means letting go of those who hurt us. Totally legitimate chosen Fam include: lovers, partners, rabbits, cats, Twitch friends, snails, stars, clay, plants, dogs and friends.

Basically everything I do is electronic, or is done via big, third-party companies, so there is still time to buy things from me for Christmas if you'd like to! No issues with shipping to the EU/Northern Ireland either, because I don't deal with any of that stuff. I just draw things.

A tuxedo cat stares at the camera while sitting on a pile of three blankets. One is purple, one grey, and one navy. Her expression is one that implies the human taking the picture should sleep elsewhere tonight. Those blankets are hers now!

Wanda: yes, hooman, I do need all of these blankets!

Yesterday I was making lunch (veggie sausages, chips and beans), opened the tin of baked beans and suddenly had a very loud cat at my feet.

Wanda was very annoyed with me about the beans not being cat food! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I found some really cute Christmas cards on Etsy (no photos because spoilers). They basically work out at just over ยฃ1 each, including postage, when you buy six.

Hopefully they're still in stock on Monday because supporting small businesses is important, especially with Black Friday going on.

LEGO is amazing. I hope your daughter does build some LEGO with you. I have the tuxedo cat set on the go currently (had to, being owned by a tuxedo cat).

Took this on my way to post something this morning. It's just another snow picture, I know, but i was actually outside at least briefly.

H5N1
We are currently at stage 3 in the virus's progression, transitioning from the avian phase to the mammalian phase, and now entering the stage of potential human spillover.

Yesterday, I had to emergency Deliveroo mashed potato to save myself from living off applesauce, protein pudding and porridge for days after unexpected teeth removal.

Gotta love how they just dump info on you, tell you to look at it at home & expect you to magic up soft food unexpectedly.

Yes, she does do a good "fiiiiine, I'll look at you, but only because you feed me" expression for photos.

The game I wanted to play being down for maintenance today got me thinking about autistic hyperfocus. I could have played a ton of other games but only that game is the "right" game right now. Nothing else is acceptable to my brain as something to play/be interested in.

A dark photo of a black cat curled up asleep. You can just about make out her head because she's wearing a collar.

This is a terrible photo because she's sleeping behind me, but Wanda is snoring. It's not as irritating as human snoring, it's just an occasional fart noise.
