Thursday at home
Thursday, June 18th, 2026 06:03 pmThursday. Rainy and cool. Sitting in the comfy chair in my office with an orange cat on my lap. Drinking my first cup of tea.
First load of towels is in the washer and in a minute, when Tali lets me, I'll get up and get some breakfast and then I'll go write for a while.
Yes, that's boring. I can probably use some boring.
How's the day shaping up at your house?

Lunch break. I have done my duty to the cats, and also due diligence on my new medication, which leads me to believe, given the other Real Medication that I take daily, lisinopril needs to be taken at lunchtime. Since linsiopril holds out the tantalizing possibility that it may induce dizziness and I should be cautious on stairs*, cat box cleaning is hereby shifted to before lunch, rather than after.
I've had a pretty good morning of writing, and intend to go back to it after lunch, since I haven't finished my scene yet.
I don't know that I've mentioned this before, but Rookie da Cookie has taken to curling up with his head on the pillow next to mine at bedtime, which I'm at the moment finding adorable, and also canny. Tali sleeps tucked up under my right arm, and Firefly sleeps across my ankles. This way everybody has room, nobody gets swatted in the face with a tail (including me), and there are therefore very few midnight squabbles.
. . . and it looks like lunch is warm.

*I remain amazed by the people who scold you for being Old and At Risk for Falling who then prescribe med after med that "may make you dizzy."

And that's a wrap. For local definitions of "wrap." One thousand six hundred fifty-five words, bringing the WIP Entire to!
+/- 10,660 words.
Time for a cup of tea and a cookie, is what I'm thinkin'...
