Jasper cat has to have his eye removed after all. There was a chance that the drops would treat his glaucoma but nonsuch luck.

It's scheduled for the fifteenth. I'm trying to be calm. But cats with their eyes stitched shut makes me want to vomit. And now my beautiful boy will be one of them. I am very squeamish when it involves the eye. Eye based horror is a no go. Even more than normal gore squeamish.

I am terrified. Jazzy is an old boy with kidney disease.

It's a less invasive surgery than the PU surgery my ginger baby didn't survive last year. But Jazzy is old with stage 1 kidney disease.

Miso was only 5 but his cascading organ failure centered in his kidneys before he died in July.

I still can't talk about Miso's death without crying.

It's a less invasive surgery but I'm still scared. I know it will happen eventually Jasper, Mushi and Sebastian are all old men. And even the baby, my little black cat, is turning 5. But if I lose another cat to surgery complications... I might break.

A great lead into my birthday and our 20th wedding anniversary on the 20th and 21st.

At least Aldi's had some Deutsche Küche cake and an apple strudel. Never had the cake before but it looked comforting.

I was going to get a kitten for my birthday because I had made progress in my grief but I don't want a kitten while Jazzy is vulnerable and recovering. Crossposted on IJ/LJ/DW.

Echida's friend - Bigga followed into E's followers lair and found her father being one of E's followers. After being cornered, Bigga's father triggered himself into coma so cyber detective would not dive into his thoughts.

Feh. I have more fannish navel-gazing on my mind, but I don't feel like picking at scabs today. pauraque, I will reply soon, but thank you! You had some helpful thoughts. <3

Reading-wise, I've been trying to figure out the "Cozy" mystery phenomena by starting to read one. So far, I'm still mystified.

I'm on book 4 of the Noodle Shop Mystery series, labeled a cozy series by my local library. After my ongoing obsession with the Crazy Rich Asians books, this series seemed like a good fit for my first cozy read.

They are not written with too much depth, which I define as above a 12th-grade reading level with more vocabulary and flourish, but that's not a bad thing. I haven't had as much time to read fiction in the past few years, but I am determined to keep fiction reading in my life. So, something that goes down easy is fine with me. The writing is not overly simplified - I've read a couple of those books, and no, thank you.

I think the cozy part is that the murders are gristly, but not graphic, and there's a huge cast of characters with lots of charm. It's like reading Gilmore Girls. I also could see this series as a Hallmark Movies and Mysteries offering.

The basic scenario is that Lana, daughter to the owners of Ho-Lee Noodle House in Asia Village and sometimes waitress, can't help but poke her nose in when murder visits the Village. If you read the author's bio, that's Lana; she's not hiding the Mary Sue of it all. She's surrounded by the regulars of Asia Village, who spend most of their time telling her to stand up straight and stop snooping around - it's dangerous!

Thank goodness, Lana doesn't listen well. ^_^

I had the SO* open up a blog for me because I felt weighted down by the history of All Things Journal, but this is still my preferred platform for writing my thoughts, sporadic as they may come.

I had a lovely note from the person running a Snupin Discord community. A post will probably appear on lupin_snape sometime soon, but if you can't wait, visit https://discord.gg/npBpN2mXhC. I'm already lurking there because no matter how bad JKR makes me feel about her work, the people who love my ship are some of the best still hanging in fandom (and yes, I know there are others great Fandomers out there. All Fandoms rule, no matter how weirdly I feel about being fannish these days).

I *still* haven't been able to bring myself to post that fic I discussed previously to AO3. I really ought to just pull the trigger and take my lumps.

I have slowly, at a glacial pace, been talking to AO3 about moving a couple of the major Snape/Lupin archives I inherited or created to AO3. It's a complicated process, but these two sites keep going down and the platforms are beyond ancient. I'm worried they will go down and I won't be able to get them up again, even with the help of the SO.

Think I'll stop here for now. Still struggling to be fannish in this world of properties going on too long, creators revealing what asshats they are, and other properties being cut off at the knees before they really get started. It's hard to get excited about anything these days. I miss the Fandom part of fandom.

love, lore

Deleted most social media because people comparing the US to nazi Germany and suggesting people hoard years of food was making me anxious.

And having a public forum where I criticized things was a potential risk if they are right.

I am a ball of stress at all times. Crossposted on IJ/LJ/DW.
