“…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…” -Chaos & Mayhem

(This is from before Chaos’ stay at the vet – now he has a big shaved spot on the back of his neck!)

Art Journaling Monday! And happy 13th birthday to Mayhem!

Welcome back to Art Journaling Monday!


It’s hard to believe that my baby is 13 years old, isn’t it?! Flashing back to when I got her in September of 2006…

She was so tiny compared to Chaos! (Especially because he was a few pounds overweight at the time.)

Greywalker (Greywalker, #1)Greywalker, Poltergeist (Greywalker, #2)Poltergeist, Underground (Greywalker, #3)Underground, and Vanished (Greywalker, #4)Vanished (Greywalker 1-4) by Kat Richardson. Good urban fantasy series about a private investigator who, after being clinically dead for two minutes, finds herself drawn into the Grey – a world alongside ours, but filled with magic and the paranormal. The writing is very “noir” (choppy, declarative sentences in first person POV), which took me a while to settle into.

Art Journaling Monday!

Welcome back to Art Journaling Monday! And thank you to everyone who commented Friday about Chaos. 🙂 He’s still seizure-free since he got home and is starting to feel more like himself. Mayhem is slowly thawing toward him – no hissing since Friday evening, just some crabby meowing at him. Today’s cat photo was taken Sunday – you can see part of Chaos’ largest shaved spot.

Linkity lacking links, but hey, Chaos is still alive!

It has been quite the week here. On Monday, Chaos had two seizures and spent Monday through Wednesday evening at the U of MN Veterinary Hospital. While there, he had no more seizures and all of his medical tests were normal, the seizures unexplained. He’s home and if he has another seizure, he’ll need to go on medication. Poor old guy! He’s 15.5 years old – the picture below is not recent, because he has a lot of random shaved spots right now and looks quite pathetic. And Mayhem has been hissing and growling at him for the past 24 hours – I’m hoping she relaxes soon…

Dreams of Shreds and TattersDreams of Shreds and Tatters by Amanda Downum. I am not really sure why I finished this – I certainly didn’t care for any of the characters and never engaged with the plot.

And I reread books 7-10 of Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series…
