If all I had to do to pay that loan was occasionally shake some apple trees and sell them to the raccoons nephews and also get paid ticket money for doing chores, sign me the fuck up

All cats I’ve ever had always looked up to see who was petting them. They usually didn’t mind any of us petting them, but they always looked.

This is why I’ve always hated having to do pvp in a pve game for whatever reason (not often these days but mmos still sometimes) I’m bad at pvp and hate being content for other better players! I want to play a game, not be farmed for kills! Guh.

I understood this and now my back hurts!

It’s so cute!!

No sign of the cat in outdoor traps yet.

My wrist is hurting and it’s very likely “Rebekah is an idiot and got carpal tunnel from being a computer and handcraft gremlin” and I’m trying out a wrist wrap and it’s. Ok.

The cat that’s been missing might have been seen outside. A small same colored cat was seen outside with two old neighborhoods cats. If it is her, then she’s alive. She’s alive and that means we can continue to try and trap her.

This also means that was probably on purpose set outside. That house has 3 cats that want to get outside. If she found a way out naturally, two of the three would have followed.

All those cats are inside.

She let that cat outside on purpose. I’m so mad.

I’m suppose to make hoppin john on new years eve to eat on new years day but I may or may not remember. I think nothing for us watching the ball drop though. Maybe popcorn.

When the pile gets too large in the bathroom or on Sunday, whichever comes first.

When I’ve managed to can extra, my brother in laws get canned things. This year apple butter but sent well after the holidays whoops. It’s been hectic.

Fraggle Rock as well!

I’m preparing mentally for the worst but still going to try and find her. It’s just so infuriating.

Stepbrother and his fiance were at his father’s place. They brought their cat with them (it was for 3 days? Why??)

She let the cat out on the last day. Into a nightmare of a house the cat got lost in immediately. Like on purpose. I’m angry.

They went home without the cat.

I’m going back over today to search for the cat more. I’m not hopeful. The other cats in the household aren’t reacting as though she’s inside.

I’m angry.

That sounds extremely stressful to witness!

It’s my big year end gift and I’m so so excited to use it! I’m looking at pressure canner recipes and still trying to figure out what to make first!

Looking it up, indeedy it is! All collapsible and the like! Very cool thing.

Oh a proofing bag! Mother has this entire box and I looked it up and expensive!

Speaking of expensive, mother’s gift to me was an electric pressure canner! It’s exciting! It’s complicated! It’s very big and now part of chores today will be finding space for it! (Chores are normally Sunday but the power went out and the party happened)

Party, from my perspective, went fine. I was sociable. I talked to some guy about pets for a long time (long to me).

Mother called while writing this.

Talk went well and she didn’t passive aggressive me about anything so I think the party actually went good! Nice.

Well, mother will like the homemade gift! Her husband is weird. I’ll have no idea what he thinks until mother calls later annoyed at…whatever I did at the party that I won’t understand til later. Cause no one corrects problems as they come up, I’m suppose to be a mindreader!

I dread parties.

OH GOODBYE POWER

Transformer went POP

Hanukkah party tonight. Mother got me, twin, and my husband a gift. I know me and twins but unsure about husband’s. He was ready to not get a gift (mother really dislikes him) and gave her an out with he thought the gift she got me was for both of us cause it’s so helpful for me (it will be)

But she got something.

I feel okay so dear fuck do I hope that sticks until and through the party. Mother knows I’m going through medical shit hell though so if I have to leave (all three of us would though) she might not be that mad.

I’m broke. My gift to her to candied jalapeños and apple butter for her husband. I’ll also give her the first items made in the pressure canner.
