Kitten in the Smoke

It's day 19 of Horrordailies. I've run out of spooky tutorials. Today I was going to practice using my Huion pen tablet, but I haven't been able to get it to work since I upgraded my operating system a few major releases ago. Theoretically, they support this version, but... I tried reinstalling the drivers and rebooting, but I can't get it to connect. Oh well.

So I just screwed around and made this. This former foster kitten is Sabrett.


I was having a hard time isolating the cat from the background cleanly, but I think having the extra cruft around the edges actually helps bring out the cat image. It's a feature, not a bug.

Foster Kitten Updates

Nothing new. I'm trying to figure out the best way to prop open the dog crate door such that the kittens can walk through but the feral mom can't force it open AND I can easily open it so I can clean the litter box. Maybe inspiration will strike tomorrow.

Other Stuff

I'm watching Maigret on PBS and I wish they wouldn't start/end the episodes with scenes that are in the next installment. But the show itself is okay, though it's right on the edge of my ability to put up with a moody male main character. What I'm saying is: I'd rather have another season of Annika.

Oh, who cares about spooky. Let's just move on and start talking Thanksgiving recipes! TURKEY DAY IS ALMOST HERE!

I'm in denial because I signed up for a 10k on Thanksgiving and I'm still only at the 5k mark in my training. (And that's a *very* slow 5k...)

Oh. Boy. Uhm. There is just no way. Welp. I'll just have to eat your portion of turkey. And pie. I will wave a fork in your general direction!!!

You can have the turkey as long as there's extra mashed potatoes for me!
