At Least OFMD Returns This Week...

Hey y’all, just a quick update here. Mabon has come and gone, marking the technical arrival of fall even if the weather doesn’t cooperate. I’m built to live in a chilly clime, a perpetual autumn, and if I were rich, I would own multiple properties across the planet so I could always live in this season. But I’m not, so I’m stuck in swampy Ohio.

Biggest news is that we’re fostering a cat and it’s taking up a lot of my time. She was in a situation rife with neglect, bullied by another cat in that house, unspayed, unvaccinated, generally uncared for. She’s thriving in our house, loves the birds and sunlight and laser pointer. What she doesn’t love is our other cats. I’ll keep her here if we can’t find her home, but I don’t think she’d be happy. Since she’s deathly allergic to vaccines (found that out when she was surrendered and the vet spayed her and gave her the first round of vaccines), she has to be in a home where neither she nor any other animals go outside. She just can’t be put at risk of contracting any of those illnesses. We’re just getting to know her, but she’s a total sweetheart and a bit of a weirdo, very affectionate and talkative, making biscuits everywhere, even when she’s just standing around. If you’re nearby and this sounds like the perfect cat for you, email me and tell me so!

There have been other crises to manage since the last update, but I won’t go into those. Rest assured my writing is still set aside to deal with everything, as usual, thank you 2023. And my tarot spread for this month says it won’t improve. Generally, I would sit around stewing in anxiety about everything, but luckily, my spouse and I started an in-person RPG gaming night, so there is some social stuff happening, and we joined the local axe throwing league, which is a leaving-the-house sort of social thing that apparently is necessary? for my mental health? Grocery shopping as my primary out-of-house experience just wasn’t enough anymore.

I can’t predict what this month will look like in any capacity, except I’m willing to abandon everything to watch new Our Flag Means Death and Loki, and when I have to wait for new episodes, I'll fill all my waking hours with Assassin’s Creed: Mirage. Ooo, maybe I should consider writing some Basim fanfic. If I have time, of course.
