Clara did great at the vet yesterday (just there for a checkup and boosters) and in particular had an excellent time on her pre-vet calming meds

[eponymous-rose]

Minor/non-serious/humorous in tone pet medical stuff (with some major TMI grossness) behind cut:

I had a somewhat alarming moment this morning when I found a drop of blood on the floor after a particularly energetic litter-box zoomie session of Clara's. Everything looks normal otherwise and this has happened before (previously with minor constipation due to stress, which she's certainly had a lot of in the last two weeks), and she isn't avoiding the box or anything, so I think we're fine to wait until her annual checkup, which happens to be on Monday morning.

Anyway, having put that out of my mind and started to relax, I just found a glob of blood under the kitchen table that was a much more worrying, darker shade. So there I am, wondering how on earth she's managed to require an emergency vet visit twice that happened to fall on the weekend before her scheduled check-up.

I go to clean it up, and it really looks different. That's weird. That's... wait. And pet owners know, sometimes to be 100% sure, you have to sniff the gross thing.

Yeah, it was a glob of spilled spicy maple syrup from the salmon I made last night.

Clara has been loafing in the living room watching all this go down with a faintly judgmental look on her face. If I can finally get her to this routine appointment (with a brand-new vet, no less!) without some new drama befalling us, it will be a major victory.

Cry-laugh of the evening: three-headed broadway star goes terribly wrong

Two mornings in a row, Clara's woken me up by curling up next to my head and PURRING AS LOUDLY AS SHE CAN.

Best way to wake up, A++++++

There's a fundraiser going on to benefit the shelter from which I adopted Clara! I went ahead and entered the photo contest, but please feel free to take this excuse to make a donation either here or to an animal shelter of your choice!

Nothing like that moment of looking out the window and seeing smoke billowing past, panicking briefly, then realizing it's just because my neighbors are barbecuing since it's finally sunny and 70 degrees, why wouldn't they be?

Now Streaming: Baldur's Gate 3!

After accidentally pulling off a very impressive bit of pickpocketing (I DID NOT REALIZE THE DC WAS 30), Tone and the gang are wandering the lower city and breaking into houses willy-nilly, which has thus far generally resulted in the discovery of gory murder scenes and bits of clown. Having established a relationship with the criminal underworld, it's time to head to the Counting House to try to save Jaheira's old friend... if he's on our side at all.

Stream starts here momentarily!

Now Streaming: Baldur's Gate 3!

It's been SIX MILLION YEARS since we last checked in with Tone and her (many, many) friends, and right now they're dealing with missions around every corner and inside every building... including an abduction from camp. Act 3 is busy, busy, busy, and it's time to start in on that to-do list. Do you think they'll let us just do the dishes and the laundry and call it a day?

Stream starts here momentarily!

Gotta get fresh fang marks in the banana toy!

Fixed an annoying wiggly doorknob in about two minutes with one (1) screwdriver so I'm BASICALLY a handyman now

Psssst, can anyone recommend a good puffy winter jacket? I have this extremely heavy and intense down-filled jacket that is really unwieldy and also way more than I need for a place where the temperature rarely dips below -5C/23F even in the dead of winter. It's also 12 years old, so it's had a very good run.

Looking for a lighter jacket that's still warm, waterproof, and preferably comes down to mid-thigh. Any suggestions?

LaTeX is such a goofy typesetting system. I google a quick way to suppress page numbers on this document and this is what it tells me to do:

\pagenumbering{gobble}

This is a professional document seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in research funding, but just go ahead and gobble up those page numbers, I guess.

Now Streaming: Baldur's Gate 3 on Tactician Difficulty!

Previously: It has been, like, a month. Do I still remember how to play? Sources say probably not. Join me in flailing!

Trying to keep this playthrough pretty spoiler-free for those who haven’t played all the way through yet. As a side note, I do these streams partly to chat with fellow fans of the game but also to meet folks who are new to the game/stream/what-have-you, so please don’t hesitate to jump in and chat!

The game is modded so that all companions travel with me (for banter reasons), but only a subset will actually be in battles (for balance reasons).

Note: This game contains some body horror as well as general fantasy violence and sexuality. I’ve turned off full nudity, but you still might want to avoid watching at work and/or around kiddos.

Ugh, never mind, not in the mood for troubleshooting today. Maybe I'll get to play next weekend!

Poor Clara had a rough night - after some worrying symptoms I had to bring her in to the emergency vet at 11PM. After a bunch of tests and almost five hours, it just turned out to be an upset stomach, easily treated. Extremely relieved!!

This is a complete reach, but I'm trying to find an old friend. Did you have the old name rose-parfait here on tumblr? Random, but just want to see if they're ok now.

Sadly no, I'm sorry! This is the only fandom username I've had since 2005.

I hope you find your friend!
