I just got an email asking to confirm that Seregil's information for his microchip is up to date. I managed to enter a sort of emotionally numb state while I figured out how to log in and update his information to indicate that he is dead, so I hopefully won't get further reminders. After he died, we got several text message saying that he had been ( Read more... )

"He's behind me, isn't he?"

Yesterday, Seregil escaped the apartment for about an hour while we were away getting pre-flight Covid tests. We came back to find him gone and we just about had breakdowns on the spot once we realized. But thanks to neighbors (Danae knocked door to door) we were able to locate him again. In all honesty, I don't know how I would have managed the ( Read more... )

I'm sorting out stuff that will come with us and stuff that won't. Seregil is not on the correct pile, but we'll make sure to straighten that out before we leave!

I've taken longer than I'd like doing all the sorting, but it's coming along. I'm also having a lot of allergy problems as I move stuff around. It's mostly clothes left now, and figuring ( Read more... )

Our cat is the biggest drama queen of any pet I've had. He starts crying sometimes an hour or more before meal time. We have a timer on my phone for his meal times, and he knows this and knows when those times are. But he seems convinced if he sounds sad and hopeless enough, we'll feed him early. We were even tracking his nutrition data on a ( Read more... )

"Do you want to help me write?" I asked him. "Yes," I replied to myself in an authoritative kitty voice. "This museum's website did not have enough mice. Also, the museum did not have enough mice either."

"Good points!" I responded.

Most of my stuff for day-to-day living is in Elgin at Erik's place now. I made it over there with things on Saturday after work, but didn't see Erik until late Sunday night when he got back from Midwest Furfest. And he just went straight to bed, so I still didn't see much of him ( Read more... )

I just got over the worst headache of my life. Four days of debilitating pain, and another couple days of lingering effects To the headache, my body added neck pain, nausea, and chest spasms, any one of which would probably have kept me home ( Read more... )

Currently, we're trying to figure out where to move to that will allow cats. Seregil is very important to us, especially Danae, and leaving him behind is not an option we're willing to explore. The housing available through the university does not allow cats. He's officially an emotional support animal now, though I don't know what laws in NL are ( Read more... )
