We went for the annual vet visit last week. Our orange cat was already asleep in his carrier, so I just put the door on and carried him to the car. He hasn't slept in there since though!

Watched Titanic at the cinema when it came out. I was still very tearful at school the next day and my friends were mocking me about being sad at how the romance ended (no spoilers!) But really it was thinking about how all those people lost their lives and it really happened. That mom and the kids in steerage...

Yup, all the time. To give an example, yesterday I watched DC League of Super Pets with my child and cried quite a lot at one bit (if you've seen it, you probably know which bit). It's a solid movie overall too - great voice cast.

It's not unusual for me to cry when reading or listening to the news.

I'm 41 too, but a woman.

Yeah, the fact she's beating Cocomelon is really heartening. I didn't even realise she was on Netflix before.

I accidentally used a clothes washing pod once, and it made the clean dishes taste so awful that they all had yo go straight back in the dishwasher. Then again, I have to hand-wash any plastics, as just one wash in the machine taints them for me. It's why I've switched to mostly glass food storage.

He does love sitting on laundry, but this was a mountain and very vulnerable to avalanche.

Beehold! My device for rescuing bees from the rooflight.

Broom with white flowers in the bristles

Not sure why it uploaded twice, sorry!

I recently cleared mine off and the cat was so grateful for his new seat.

Yep, 41 woman here, and it's only in the last 5 years or so that I've realised that my fidgeting (stimming), pretending to be normal (masking), and being unable to cope when environments are visually busy and noisy (overstimulation), are real things that have actual names.

But hey, I achieved good grades and wasn't disruptive, so what did it matter that I was falling apart inside and had to spend many years and many tears developing strategies for a world that exhausts me?

 

One of my design hang-ups is sunken ceiling spots. Personally, I would never fit them, although I can understand having them in a kitchen or bathroom. But this is just... something. No options for anything but searing white light. I can't even see any lamps in the bedroom.

 

My next door neighbour (NDN) just told me about about the new neighbour (renter), who freely told her that she was evicted from her last place for having 19 cats, who she then abandoned. Fortunately, NDN is on the Facebook and was able to follow the local drama and find out they had all been rescued.

New neighbour told NDN she is going to sneak two cats into her new place (she's not allowed to under her rental agreement). NDN begged her not to and said if she must, to get them neutered, but it seems this woman just likes having her cats have kittens. I'm pretty sure she has the cats now as I saw pet supplies being delivered.

I want to do something to help now and prevent the same thing happening to more cats. I don't really care if she's breaking her rental agreement by having two cared for cats, but I absolutely do care about preventing neglect.

I know the RSPCA probably won't do anything and I'm not keen on getting someone evicted either. Any ideas?

Gotta appreciate the bloke heading into Chesters as if nothing is amiss.
