Happy Halloween!

Listening to The Correspondents tonight. I got word earlier this week that one of my friends passed away. He let his demons win, from what little I know. May the Great Cat protect and guide him in his next phase.

Puck is very much learning to cat. On a laptop xD

Spicy feral becoming mild feral.

My wallet hates me. But 6 kitties are getting snipped, so win.

This never happens.

I hate how quickly heat saps me. On the plus side, I got some gladiolus bulbs in the ground before I got too toasty and had to quit. The garden area up front is going to look quite nice when I'm done.

Made chicken tikka masala for dinner tonight from scratch. Turned out surprisingly well. Had it over cauliflower rice. Need to make paneer tikka masala at some point too.

Boof. Working on cleaning up the yard, got the mower back from the repair place, so knocked down the front, and took the mulberry down by half because it was rubbing on the house.
Tired, but good tired.

@KidAKidB. /poke. Hope you and @_knives_out_ are doing well

Went for a walk today, it was weird how quiet it was.

Tired, late for work, buuuut...

Housemate and I were supposed to head to Kzoo to spend some time with a mutual friend whose dad just passed away. Come home from work and housemate is sick :(. Blah.

Construction in the office today, nothing like hearing the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR of either a hammer drill or sawzall over my headphones >_<

Had to interview people at work today. I was dreading making dinner tonight, because I was just outta spell slots. Found that my housemate had been experimenting in the kitchen, and had made cauliflower fried rice for me.

*grumble* Car has a coolant leak. Need to get it in to the shop.

Happy New Year! I fucking survived 2019. Still standin'. Last year at this time, I was dealing with an abscess that was fast heading septic, with a high fever and the fun hallucinations that go with it. While in between jobs. So yeah, that sucked. A lot. 2020 is already better thus far, knock on wood.

Got a second key made for my car finally. Dealership = $$$, Ace = 150, Amazon and Sears Key Shop, 80. I do wish I had a classic because cutting keys for those ain't 65 bucks.
