Light and Shadows

It's day 11 of Horrordailies, and while I've pretty much given up on the horror, I'm still here for the daily!

It turns out I like playing with purple, so I indulged myself for another day. This time I took inspiration from an image from The Art of Evelyne Schulz (the search was random, but I really like her art). The image in question has a person silhouetted by a night sky, with a bunch of little fantasy additions.

I'm not that skilled or patient, and 99.9% of my images are of cats, so my results bear no resemblance to the original. I still like mine, though, and I did get that haloed silhouette effect I was aiming for.

I really need to get my drawing tablet out and figure out why it stopped working with my computer. That's a goal for another day.

Foster Kitten Updates

It turns out I was not being paranoid about that one kitten. He crashed yesterday evening and was gone less than two hours later. This part of fostering sucks and I'm exhausted today from taking him to the emergency vet and also worrying about the remaining kittens. They seem fine at the moment, but everything can change so rapidly that I will remain worried until they grow up and leave for adoption.

In happier news, the kittens I found in my garage have finished their two-week quarantine, so Spanner and Sabot are now running around in my office playing with Bagheeri and Bailey Potato and the whole area is chaos.

Other Stuff

I need to replace the flapper on one toilet and I thought this would be simple, but the company no longer makes that part, and the replacement for that discontinued part has been discontinued, and the replacement for the replacement for the part has been discontinued and...

I think I've figured out what info I need to buy the correct thing, but this feels far more complicated than it needs to be. I'm really not cut out for home ownership.
