Not much to say about today. Got up, ate our hotel breakfast, lounged around in our room for a while (I got some knitting done while watching an hour of TV), packed up and checked out, took the train to Stockholm, checked into hotel there ( Read more... )

I didn't sleep much last night - the bed was very comfortable, but I still had a really hard time falling asleep. Woke up several times. At one point, I checked my phone and saw it was a bit under an hour until I had set my alarm. Checked aetherspoon's flight status and it said "arriving in 22 minutes" so I had to hurry up and shower, get dressed, etc ( Read more... )

I really ought to use my LJ more. I've been posting two daily entries on Tumblr so far (more of an audience there, more replies), but I sort of have the feeling that Livejournal is here to stay and Tumblr might at some point explode or lose all my posts or something ( Read more... )

In hindsight, I should have just killed it before handing it over to the cats. Would have been kinder. I don't know if it eventually got away or not, as I ( Read more... )

It's been a while, again ( Read more... )

Those happen. Woke up exhausted. Fed cats, did laundry, hung laundry to dry, did some dishes. Fixed myself a sandwich. Showered. Made tea, twice. Got dressed at one point, but it was so hot I had to take it off again. That's.. pretty much my entire day.

I see the cats several times a day. They often come when called for. They let me pet them, and they purr. Just the past day or two, some of them have started to come back inside for naps in dry and comfortable places. They generally don't allow me to remove ticks, though.. so it's not perfect, but it's fairly nice. I'm knitting a new Kitty Pi as ( Read more... )
