It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down…

Written by Darian
It is an absolutely beautiful day today – too bad I’m going to spend most of it keeping Lucretia company locked in our bedroom. I did go for a brief walk to enjoy the sun and get some fresh...

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound…

Written by Darian
Yesterday was a pretty chill day – I sequestered myself with Lucretia to keep her company and she napped near me all afternoon. Pearl did as well, but she’s not recovering from surgery, she’s just a princess who likes...

But I got cat class, and I got cat style…

Written by Darian
The pain medication has worn off poor Lucretia and she’s not very happy about things. We’re keeping her sequestered in the master bedroom/bathroom so she doesn’t run around and try climbing everything she used to. They shaved a patch...

Putting out fire with gasoline…

Written by Darian
We are absolutely exhausted. Lucretia kept both of us awake all night because she wanted food and we had emptied the bowls and turned off the feeders because of her surgery this morning. I gave her the nightly soft...

Rallying round to the call…

Written by Darian
It being so cold out (and snowing a bit), my wife wanted a lazy gaming weekend so that’s what we had. I still made the usual biscuits and gravy on Saturday but we quickly made our way back to...

Gonna tap-tippy-tap on the money button ’til you…

Written by Darian
Up early today to take Lucretia to the vet, but on the way down the hill we got a call that the vet was sick today and had to move her appointment to next Tuesday. So now I’m just...

There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees…

Written by Darian
The cold snap is here, but it should be warming back up in the next few days. It snowed overnight and it’s currently about 30°F but that doesn’t really matter to us – we have a kick-ass wood stove...

If I had my little way, I’d eat peaches every day…

Written by Darian
We have an appointment to have Lucretia fixed on Friday – I’m sure she’s not going to be a happy camper, but we’ll be around over the weekend to keep her comfortable. The vet seemed to suggest that she...

A soul in tension that’s learning to fly…

Written by Darian
I don’t have much to say today – I haven’t slept really well lately and I feel exhausted. I need a few days with absolutely nothing going on so I can just try to sleep and reset everything. I...

Why can’t we not be sober?

Written by Darian
I remembered one of the reasons I didn’t want to take the opiates – I like them too much. I did end up taking one on Friday and had a relatively pain-free day, but wasn’t much more than a...
