Now For Some Updating...
Sep. 13th, 2022 02:58 amHello all you lovely people who may or may not still be reading this journal. I think I still have a handful of you who still do? Maybe? At any rate...
A lot has changed since my last update. First of all my Mom recently retired. She did it due to back and neck pain, but she worked a hell of a lot longer than my Dad did. And she was long overdue for it. I'm so happy to have her home more frequently but I am also worried about the consistent pain she is in. She doesn't really feel like my Mom right now because she can't do the things she usually does for me. :( I mean, bless her, she tries, even in pain, but I feel guilty for even having to ask for her help.
Next up is a drastic change in Teal. She's suddenly become incredibly aggressive towards anyone who's around Starlite. Including me. Maybe especially me. I'm her human. She doesn't want me anywhere near the kitten, and she doesn't want the kitten anywhere near where she wants to go that's her space.
We don't understand it. A couple of weeks ago, she was playing with Starlite a lot during the day. Now she acts like she doesn't want anything to do with her. I'm really not sure what kind of switch has gone off. And Starlite... poor Starlite just wants someone to play with, and I feel so bad for her, and so guilty cause I can't love on her and be with her. It's actually brought me to tears a few times already.
What's really pissed me off is that Mom told me that Dad's actually threatened to get rid of Teal. Mom did tell that she told him that was not going to happen, and that they would NOT do that to me. It warms me inside that Mom is taking a firm stance on that. I don't wanna lose my baby. She is still in there somewhere, and I know we can eventually get through this. And I am gonna do everything i can to take care of her. Even if it means putting her on some kind of stress medication.
Teal's not marking territory with urine, she's not literally scratching anyone. She's just growling and hissing a bit. It's fine. We just need to do things on her terms. No need to get rid of the cat. She was here first, after all. She's not even attacking Starlite. Just a lot of hissing.
We Be Book'n is doing it's annual Bookish Jeopardy! challenge this month. I'm loving it for the most part. I'm not feeling very....teamwork-y though. There's been a lot of discourse in the team chat, and I'm not sure if that's all in my head or not. Sometimes I think my anxiety disorder seeks that shit out. I don't know for sure. But it certainly feels like it!
For my 4th book for the month for this challenge (I read Hunting Prince Dracula for Lissa's book club too and the rest of Lord of the Rings for Brayan's!) I am finally reading Obsidio by Jay Kristoff and Aimee Kaufman! I am ecstatic. I know I could have read it at any time, but this one 601 page book I will probably devour because I really did devour the other 2 in the The Illuminae Files trilogy! Which means I will probably tear up this board if all the prompts are similar to this one. This was a 2k point prompt! Can you imagine?? Can't wait to see how this trilogy wraps! <3
Hoping I will get the chance to read the Hunger Games prequel. I wanna read that before the mmovie, and before I look at any of the articles that have been circulating already. I have gotten a glimpse of the the young President Snow before he was President Snow. Not bad looking. But... I DO know what he becomes, so...yeah. LOL. Maybe reading the book will give me some empathy towards him, who knows. Anyway...
Also, NaNoWriMo is happening this year for me! I am planning to switch it up and write a sort of fan script. It is gonna be a fresh, full-length script for the story, "General" based on the shorter piece from Stephen King's movie, Cat's Eye, which was an anthology movie from the 80s. I liked the movie by and large, but I felt the last segment, General was much better than the rest of it, and that Drew and the cats who play General really should have gotten much more time for it. So I am paying tribute to them by doing this. :) So next month, I will be writing a novelization of sorts of my script to share with Brayan and his bookclub, to showcase the changes I will be making. Here is hoping!
