Happy solstice, happy Christmas, happy Friday.

May your day be merry and bright.

It is SNOWING.

I am vaguely offended.

Tor may have pushed back the release of Harrow the Ninth to August (AAAHHHHHHHHH!) but they're releasing a preview--the first act--for free!!!!!!!!

Warm cat stretched out on my legs wins out over doing work right now. ...it is also winning out over getting food. Hmmm.

I have 30 pounds of cats on my lap and it is awesome.

Belated happy Solstice! Days only get brighter from here.

Merry Christmas, and happy whatever midwinter holiday you celebrate.

For whatever reason, I generate a lot of static electricity. When it gets cold and dry, I am forever getting zapped by light switches, etc.

Petting cats, I am realizing, ALSO generates a lot of static electricity.

The poor kitties have gotten to the point that they barely react when I accidentally zap them. I feel SO BAD whenever I do. And it's just gonna get worse as the winter goes on. :(

Happy Halloween!

We have had our kitty boys for ten weeks now. They are a still a joy, still the BEST boys. We are so very very lucky.

Most everything I own is now covered in cat hair.

Good things: An afternoon with nothing I need to do, with kitties hanging out with me.

More good things: Gone for two weeks and kitties still love me.

Even more good things: Significant other spent two weeks with kitties without me and fell even deeper in love with them (and took a bunch of EXCELLENT pictures in his daily kitty pictures).

One kitty is snoozing on the cat tree near me. The other is in the office snoozing in the laundry hamper next to the significant other.

Love these boys.

So. The animal rescue is doing their kitty home visit tomorrow. I visited the Petfinder listings for the kitties, and they are showing up as adopted. No messages from the rescue on the answering machine. Either the visit is a formality and it will have to go terrible to not get kitties or we're about to get our heart broken. AHHHHHHHH!

More organization more organization more organization.

On the plus side the place is looking great! This finally spurred us... er, me... into the organization that we should have done but didn't because exhausted from the year long omg move, then back issues, then semester of overteaching, then the semester of illness (mine) and emergency surgery (not mine)), then more back and knee issues... anyway. It's been a hell of a couple years.

My favorite organizational category: I will deal with this shit later.
chichuri: two wolves sleeping (wolves:  sleepy)
So. Cat application has been submitted. We will see what will come of it. While we wait to hear back, all the cleaning all the cleaning omg cleaning. It's good, though; the reorganization after the move stalled out in the omg more busy than expected fall and the hellscape that was omg omfg omfg spring, and this has kicked it back into motion.

The two total sweetheart kitties we are hoping to adopt have been with the rescue for TWO YEARS. Why has no one adopted these total sweethearts for TWO YEARS? (I do have a side worry of is there something wrong with them, but the store was saying there wasn't a huge amount of interest in them, so... ??????)

Us: We'll get a cat when we get organized! We have a lot of organizing to do before we are ready!

Also us: We're waiting for the right cat! When the perfect cat finds us, we'll be ready! Leaning towards Maine Coon, but ultimately it's whichever cat that we will be the best for and will be the best for us! But only one to start with!

And also us: TONIGHT COMPLETELY FALL IN LOVE WITH PAIR OF CATS THAT NEED TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER AND HOME IS NOT READY FOR CATS

UM.

(We will do frantic cleaning and more visits, and if they are available, the bloom does not wear off, and we get this place in shape, we will put in an application)

Significant other: Wait, you have a Tumblr?

... I have a Chichuri tumblr I've haven't used for years. I've had a new, more used Tumblr since shortly after Captain America: The Winter Soldier came out that I use on and off in bursts (FIVE YEARS. I've had it for at least FIVE YEARS). I have never HIDDEN that I have a Tumblr. He's seen me scrolling the the dashboard on my Tumblr. I've sent him Tumblr links. I've periodically talked about diving down the Tumblr rabbithole again.

Excuse me, I need to go thwack the idiot with a pillow.

So much fic is coming out of Avengers: Endgame, brilliant fic in some cases, I suspect, given some of it is from authors I'm fairly fond of. Sadly, summaries suggest that few to none of them are what I need from fic after Endgame, and I do not have the brain or the cope to wade through the ones that are the opposite of what I need to get to the ones that I do.

... which may mean I need to poke at fic, despite being completely overwhelmed by work and life. And if it goes anywhere (lol, probably not) rewatch Doctor Strange for... er, certain information and character voice.
