One year ago today (later tonight, actually) we lost our kitty, Miss Patches. After the work day ended, Jen noticed she was walking funny. Sort of in a sideways manner. I took her to a vet and we learned she was riddled with cancer and there was nothing we could do for her.
It was the first time in my adult life that I lost a pet, and probably the first time since I was a toddler. It was a sad night. The kids and Jen and I all met at the vet and said our goodbyes. Poor little kitty.
Here are a few pics taken from her last week with us. Rest in peace, you little puke machine of a fur ball.
Wow… did the B-team write this one? Are the daily prompt writers on break this week? Did they just ask ChatGPT for a list of dumb questions? Today’s daily writing prompt thingie is just… bad. Really bad. Utterly bad.
I guess here it goes. My response today is a photography response. I took some pictures of my favorite writing and reading nooks in our house. Why? Because I’ve already built my perfect reading and writing spaces. The writing space is a desk with a laptop and the reading spaces are comfy chairs with lights. Perfect. So detailed and worthy of a writing prompt. Ugh.
Writing nook, which also doubles as a music recording nook. My home computer desk in the cellar:
As for reading nooks, I will share three. This one is my main go-to, even though it is not in the usual place due to the xmas tree. It is also missing it’s usual reading light and end table, but it still works. I just open the curtain and use the bay window for both end table needs and lots of extra light:
Reading nook number two is on the other side of the living room. I don’t use this one very often, but it works perfectly:
The fourth and final image for today’s masterpiece of a blog post is the reading nook in the bedroom. Sorry that the lights were off when I took this with the Hipstamatic app so it’s pretty dark. I don’t use this one often, but I love that it’s there. I often sack out here while I am cooking dinner in the kitchen, which is the room next door. Fascinating, I know:
There. A pointless, shitty response to a pointless, shitty daily writing prompt. Yippee.
Here’s a cat pic to celebrate the day after xmas. Santa Claus brought me a new Apple Watch. I’m trying to set it up but, as is often the case with new Apple Watches, it is being a pain in the ass. It’s all set now, but it unpaired itself a couple of times before it started to cooperate. Now I just have to wait for the battery to charge up a bit.
