Chai can jump up onto chairs now – that’s a little higher than she could jump last week. We’ve had a couiple of “Oi, watch it!” protest meows, but I don’t think we’ve had a yowl of pain for no visible reason all week. I got my competition entries off, plus I submitted a short story I wrote earlier. I have a week before the deadline of the remaining competition…
Her Royal Chainess continues to recover slowly. We don’t really notice a change from one day to the next but we notice from week to week. She’s walking more easily and meyowling less. The wonky leg is noticably less wonky, and she can jump up onto beds and sofas. We’re giving her the run of the house now, but for the last couple of days she keeps wanting to go…
It’s been a busy week. I finished the translation and signed off as self employed. My husband finished repairing the business end of my old laptop which is now in my friends’ office, connected up to a keyboard, mouse and monitor. It was really nice to stop lugging my laptop backwards and forwards, particularly since I have to park some distance away. I’ve got a vague idea for a short…

I should finish the translating tomorrow or Tuesday, and then I have the joy of sorting out the paperwork to be unemployed again. I’m still doing 5 minute writing sprints in the morning, and yes, getting a little faster and looking forward to working on fiction again. And I got a photo of…
In this house, October 30th wasn’t Friday, it was Chai-day. I brought her back from the vet’s to general rejoicing. She’s still not cured, of course. She immediately went to hide in a corner and refused to come out, as injured or sick cats will. (I think they’re hiding from the predators while they’re vulnerable.) The last 3 weeks have been traumatic for her so she might have a psychological…
Poor Chai got an infection in the smaller of her operation sites and has had to go back to the vet for twice daily wound cleaning. At first she looked very poorly and listless, but she’s back to having enough energy to be stroppy again. She can also take a couple of wobbly steps using her back legs although I think it’s really quite painful for her. In short, she’s…
