 Today we went to the Winter Farmers' Market and bought absolutely no produce. But we DID get a slice of chocolate cake, a few chive and cheddar scones, gingersnaps, a mini apple pie, fresh baked pretzels and some vegan Montreal-style bagels that the lady assured us had been "boiled this morning", and three bottles of cordials to mix with club soda. Which is what we do for soda in our household, especially since I asked my parents for a Soda Stream last birthday (we got mango passionfruit, strawberry, and hibiscus lemon -- we were supposed to get blackcurrant instead of the strawberry, but I grabbed the wrong bottle at the stand, d'oh). thesurgeon brought us some Grace's kola champagne and Jamaican sorrel syrups when he was up here visiting, so considering that Lori and I have mostly soda in our soda-to-syrup ratios, we're set till like, December, heh.

We also spent all last night mainlining My Cat From Hell with 21freckles .  Now that I'm a dog auntie I am obsessed with looking at dogs on the street, and am considering a cat even though the idea of a litter box repulses me. Which brings me to my next thing: Lori, me, our friend Dasha and her fella Tobi all moved into this place together last September and we love it here and wanted it long-term, but circumstances for the landlords have changed and now they'll want to move back in September. Which, ugh, those are shitty circumstances for all involved, so if you've got the time and inclination, please send wishes or prayers out to the universe that they change their minds or that we find a really awesome new place! September's a whiles away, so who knows what can happen between now and then, right?

And finally, I am gonna be using my makeshift recs journal (missmaggierecs ) as a more all-purpose recs journal now. So not just fic and art, but really anything else I try out in life that I feel like reviewing. Right now, I'm doing makeup!

If you want litterbox management options I am happy to provide them! (If specific parts of dealing with the litterbox make you go ick more than others, I mean.) Some cats you can train to use the toilet, but it depends.

And fingers definitely crossed for the housing situation. I hope that if you do have to move, you find a place that is ten times as perfect.

I feel like, a lot of the time w/cats (at least when I've lived w/them) it's like that old principle: GIGO, garbage in, garbage out, so... at least in theory better food for the cat means less gross, ahem, output. In case that might in theory make litterboxes less gross (it kind of did for my ex, who said that when he'd housesat for ppl w/cats b/f he'd been too grossed out to deal w/the litterbox previously).

Good luck finding a new place!! That really sucks to have to move when you knew you wanted to stay. :(

What I will say about a litter box is you have to gird up and deal with it twice daily or it becomes a sentient being which quickly takes over the house.

This is, of course, why it's Ralph's job to deal with the litter box. ;)
