Lazy Saturday

Today I walked to the local coffee shop and met up with friends for a couple hours. As usual, the coffee shop got at least 25% of our orders wrong — one friend won't buy coffee drinks there anymore because she (understandably) doesn't trust them to make it with decaf. Their food and pastries are just okay, but the place itself is great to relax at. I probably shouldn't complain — if the food was any better and the drinks more reliable, we'd never be able to get a table.

Then I came home and ate too much cereal and went back to bed for a while. Not the most productive Saturday ever. That's okay. I still have time for kittens to climb all over me while I write the next chapter.

The Fore-edge Question

I've decided I'd like to do a map, in a style similar to this one, though probably a lot less busy. The book will only have one vertical slice on the fore-edge, with the idea being that the series stacked together would show the whole map. Do I have the artistic talent to achieve something like this? Well... (Obviously, the answer is no, I do not, but I'll burn that bridge when I get there.)

Kitten Watch 2024

Looking good. Also, they upgraded from cardboard litter boxes with paper pellets to actual clumping litter in a giant plastic litter box. It's much less smelly this way.

This is a picture of Kittyenne Westwood (Red) that I took yesterday. The dog bed is very large; she is very small. She had a nice long nap while her brothers were elsewhere.

Have I reached my 1700 word goal today?

Not yet. I still have 1200 words, but I have five hours. (I reached my goal yesterday.)
