Picked Zoey up from between my feet, as I needed more coffee and to do some work. Put her on my chest, usually she'd bolt. She decided that yeah, it can be snuggle time, actually, so we cuddled for several minutes. I love my kitten even if I have a caffeine headache.

Just had to deal with multi factor authentication. One of the options to text a code was not my number. Is this a new thing where they put up something random because the owner of the account will pick the correct number? Or should I be worried that a random number is associated with my account?

Box from IKEA was delivered. It was in terrible shape, smashed and with big holes. Surprisingly, only one small item ($2) was missing. I hope whomever found my tiny red panda enjoys it. Zoey has claimed hers.

Caught Zoey checking in with the mothership. Or accessing the hive mind. Or something.

Zoey's Other Human is out tonight, so I had 🍆 for dinner. I want to wash my hands so I can knit, but cat. Thinking about knitting something for Levar Burton, wondering if he'd appreciate something made of yarn from Barbara Kingsolver's sheep. My old phone now belongs to Zoey.

Pretty sure y'all need some toebeans today.

Can I say that the dude with the clear shoes forgot that they're supposed to be worn with handknit socks?

I am told we have internet at home. Strangely, my work stress has turned into a nothingburger. I still have the same amount of work to do, I just don't care anymore.

This is the content I am here to see.

Our internet is still out. Work is still waiting for my project, because it's tough to work on a tiny laptop in the library vs on a desktop with two good-sized monitors. I am told that they are pulling cable in our neighborhood, so whomever broke our internet did a great job of it.

It is my busiest workday of the month, and the internet went down. This is just fabulous.

Tonight's ADHD spiral: I am exhausted and have a ton of work to do but I have two subscription notebooks, I should write an essay comparing them. Oh! I need to take my drugs. Wait, I'm missing my flaxseed oil. I know I have a new bottle of that, where is it?

Hey @meanlouise.bsky.social and @sfharris.bsky.social My dad asked me to be his chauffeur for a trip to Manassas in January, as my sister told him I have friends in the area. I think that's you? Although if it's a 50-minute drive at 5 am, I'm curious what it would be during normal people hours.

Told Zoey that I couldn't deny her water for being obnoxious. Not sure if the lamp survived, but if it didn't, it's at least fatality #2.

It must be cold in the house. I've been home for 45 minutes and haven't seen Zoey yet.

I love Mary Roach.

Sitting outside a medical building, there's a car that keeps starting and stopping without moving, and I really want to ask if it's a problem with the car or the person inside. (It's a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the temperature is good, much nicer out here than in a waiting room.)

I love my kitten. She cannot be held, yet she poked at my arms until I crossed them, then she got situated. Nope, not being held since she put herself there.

Apparently the only thing keeping me from overheating was having the window open. The other human was too cold, so I closed the window. Sweating buckets!

Ugh, need to do laundry and some work, would rather sleep and knit.

I have a new favorite musical: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t... I've only heard one song, but the title is good enough for me!

Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope - Wikipedia

Decided to sit outside because it's October and Ohio and I don't know how many more days this will be an option, and wow is it loud. Cicadas and water, groovy. Tornado sirens? Fine, it's just a test. Trains, lawn equipment, unnecessarily loud vehicles. Kinda want to go in and take a nap.

Got the annual vaccines last night, so expect today to be full of naps and knitting. Arms sore. Keep forgetting to mention that we have (what looks to me to be) a funnel web spider hanging out in our window. I haven't tried to get better photos because I don't want to scare our new tenant away.

Finally cleaned out my voicemail after leaving it full for nearly two years. Starting to regret that decision.

Me: I will be SO, SO HAPPY when this blanket is done. I can knit some quick projects! Hats! Cowls! Near-instant gratification! Also me: ooohhhh, this 1000 yard gradient skein is gorgeous, maybe that should be my next project.

Just called my mom so Zoey could tell her how neglected and abused she (Zoey) is. Zoey had a lot to say!
