Awake.

Probably a night of sleep that was slightly helpful to the state of me. A longer than desired wakeup period during it, but not nearly so long as what I've been experiencing recently.

I've already had tea and a banana to help me wake up. Washed and smoothed my face. Making another pot of tea. Getting myself sorted to be ready for when Ginza shows up outside so i can go out and sit and chat with her. This morning I'm not going to make any effort to coax her inside the apartment...

It's too risky that upstairs neighbor might leave for work and that could startle Ginza badly again with how sensitive she is about listening for any possible threats to her safety.

So today I will just work with petting her and feeding her outside and let her make her own decisions about what she wants to do. Keep working on building familiarity and trust with her.

She's a good kitty cat.

Looks like there was rain overnight.

Filled up the water bowl I have outside the door for Ginza. She and/or some other creature(s) drank from it overnight.

Feels like I'm going to be short on spoons today. I need to be careful with their expenditure.

Took garbage out. No sign of Ginza yet, perhaps the rain overnight has altered her schedule.

Have prepped a load of laundry to take to the laundry room and will get that done today.

Now eating more breakfast in hope that it settles the stomach which is feeling unsettled right now.

I had a good sit and chat with Ginza. I was outside drinking my last cup of tea when she emerged from the tomato plants in front of an apartment on other side of courtyard. She then somewhat reluctantly crossed the wet grass after I called to her.

I fed her treats and breakfast, gave her good pets and scratches, and let her sniff catnip I put on the sidewalk. Some pics to come when I can settle back in.

So happy about the time with Ginza today. Helps me feel better despite how my brain seems like rubbish today

Got the laundry started and it'll be nice to have fresh bedding and fresh clothes later on

@IzabelaKaramia I love fresh sheets!!

IzabelaKaramia,
@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

Clothes and bedding are now drying.

Is the sun going to stay hidden behind clouds today?

Welp looked at forecast and it's going to be thunderstorms and rain this afternoon.

Which means I'm glad I'm getting laundry done now and won't need to shuttle dry laundry back to my apartment in rain

IzabelaKaramia,

I'm hungry and need more food, I can get a small lunch ready and eaten before 11 AM when the laundry will be dry

IzabelaKaramia,
@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

That weather forecast is one that makes me wish I could just scoop Ginza up in my arms and bring her inside and tell her I want her to stay warm and dry

IzabelaKaramia,
@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

Apocalyptic peril or apocalyptc apparel, that is the question.

But nevermind that. So long as I have my faithful honey badger and cockroach companions to guard my flanks, I will walk through the ballyhoo of gravely beset souls.

Laundry is done except for sorting, folding, and storing.

Favorite photo of Ginza today is this closeup of the right side of her face. It's blurry some but not too bad considering how she doesn't sit still when right close to me. She's too busy rubbing against my legs or trying to rub her against my hand

IzabelaKaramia,
@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

Got the laundry sorted and folded. Made the bed with the freshly cleaned dinosaur sheets. Nothing better than falling asleep in the embrace of freshly clean dinosaur sheets

As a note about sheet patterns, my favorite set of winter flannel sheets were ones with reindeer silhouettes. Those were great sheets and I've never seen them again since that one set I bought in the late 90s

@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

I mean, why should kids be the only ones to have outlandish and cool designs on their bed sheets?

This humidity is wreaking unwelcome havoc upon my hair

Got dinner cooking already. Feel sleepy already so I want to eat early and get my 3rd meal of the day in.

@IzabelaKaramia

Same... chashu is in the oven we just got (countertop model)
Noodles are cut, broth is made... i need to still do the negi, marinated eggs, and moyashi toppings, but ramen is the best of comfort foods...

That line of thunderstorms moving this way look rather menacing.

@IzabelaKaramia they were brutal here. Power was out a good part of the afternoon. Stay safe and dry!

IzabelaKaramia,
@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

@caragraph

Power went out here 10 minutes ago. Just now getting cellphone service back.

IzabelaKaramia,
@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

Lost power here and now hearing multiple sirens. Something is going on in relative vicinity

IzabelaKaramia,
@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

My guess is that power won't come back on any time soon

IzabelaKaramia,
@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

Still lots of sirens and horns honking in the distance

melyanna,

@IzabelaKaramia Hello! I am just a random stranger on the internet browsing the local feed, but thank you for reminding me to get my laundry started!
