* The Ukraine is evacuating their troops from the Crimea.
* Today is the 70th anniversary of the RL Great Escape. If you know me, you now what an inspiration that was to me personally as a child. If you know your history you know what an incredible collective effort it was and the ways that it helped the war effort. Let's take a moment to toast the memory of those brave men, both those who made it and those who did not.
* Greenwick and I brought home another load. There is likely one load left, assuming I can find room for stuff, which is super dicey right now. After the gamers left, I spent about two and a half hours on the living room. I suspect I've sorted all the book boxes, unless some have been misfiled. I'll likely finish shelving tomorrow. I still need another set of book ends, it looks like. I have a whole bunch of sorting to do. The living room is moving towards nearly finished, just as my bedroom is becoming barely useable for all the boxes needing sorting. I live in fear of the day I tackle my office desks, but progress continues.
* I have been asked, so I will mention that house warming gifts are welcome. My Wishlist is here: http://gwyd.livejournal.com/1404815.html
Squirrel is on Amazon, if you know his legal name, or PM.
As usual, do not feel obligated.
* During game the fish light power strip sorted out as somehow a curtain ended up in a fish tank, sucking water out and into the electrical zone. The fish are fine and after they left I put together a temporary lighting solution until I can replace the long tail power strip that got damaged. Irritatingly, the fried strip is one of the new expensive ones I bought for the move, though luckily not one of the super expensive ones.
I haven't seen any small fry since the accident, but the new bornes are really hard to spot and I go days without seeing them. A representative quantity of Metae adults, panda adults, and various ages of older Metae are visible. I never see all of them at once, and I haven't a proper fry census as more of them appear periodically, nor have I spotted the whiptail or otos, but they can be shy, so I'm not worried just yet
* It's official. About 15 minutes after the Gamers left Hector freaked out and ran around calling them and looking for him. He even made me open the laundry cabinet, to see if they were sitting on the washer/dryer in there. Poor little Bear. He has decided the gaming group are in the clowder and can't figure out why they don't all live in the den. He calmed down faster this week. He's still having a lot of nightmares and is generally clingy since Mache died. He's also started looking his age more. His fur is starting to get the elder kitty look to it and there is a new fragility about him generally. I am pretty sure he is in the early stages of dementia and likely has been for a couple of years. My childhood cat Spiro had the same thing happen. She'd leave the room and forget where we were and start panicking. She was mostly deaf at that point, so we'd pound on the floor, as what was left of her hearing was base range, so between that and the vibrations, she'd find us and we give her the pettins. Her quality of life was good; she was safe, well fed, warm, and someone she loved was always there to pet her when she got scared. We figured it was a better life than most elderly humans get. her last illness was a week and she died at home surrounded by clowder. To be clear, this cat lived four or five years with some degree of dementia. Hector's not doing too badly. He still knows all his tricks and he's still an expert thief and problem solver. It's just three to four times a day he seems to have no idea where he is for a few minutes.
* Walking Dead: My Speculation About Terminus
I think Terminus is a honey Trap. I'm wondering if they are cannibals, imprisoning people to cut off parts. If not, I'm assuming robbery, but my money is on both cannibals and thieves. If they were legit, they'd have guards and stop people on the way in to see if they are decent. The lone lady with a meat BBQ greeting them? Yeah. Not legit.
