It was supposed to be nasty today

[cornerofmadness]

Instead it was beautiful, crystalline skies, fluffy clouds and oh, so damn cold it made me miss Wisconsin. Love that bracing chill. (Like it was 20 at Noon cold).

I DO however feel so bad for Momma cat and the three kittens. She wants to come in SO bad but every time she even tries, her kittens take off. You can see how torn she is. Even she can't make them accept me. Poor thing I might see if I can rig up a warmer box for them.

I accomplished only ONE thing today but it's a biggie. I finished last year's nano novel (from the 1930s demon hunter series that I've had published.) read about it here

Yep, I'm all proud of myself.

Dad has a hernia which I may have mentioned. Which means he's sitting around bored as hell so he's been scanning in old photos and fixing them in Paint (which I'm shocked he can use since I can't make it do shit). Here's Mom at age 4 so this is 1946 (about 14 years after my novel come to think of it).




I'm beginning to think decluttering might have to wait until after nano...

That's an adorable picture of your Mom.

Poor Momma cat. Poor kitties. I like the idea of a warmer box.

Congrats on finishing the novel! THat's a huge acomplishment!

Your mom was a cutie.

Can I send my cold weather to you? I hate it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It is.

She'll be happy to hear that. She really looks like her older sister here but not so much when they grew up.

Sure, I'll take it but if you have ice, you keep it

Yay for finishing the novel!

Definitely a warmer box for the kitties.

Is this the version of Paint that comes preinstalled on computers? Because I'm amazed he can make it do anything worthwhile.
