Pooka is slinking around staring at the ceiling with his ears and tail down. I think Nar has vanished under the bed, but I'm not sure--when a black cat decides to vanish, he can do a remarkably comprehensive job of it.

and now they're clumping around sweeping up the leaves that weren't picked up by the leafblower. yay alarmed cats!

.... oh, evidently that particular sequence of alarming sounds is somebody using a leafblower to clean off the roof. o______o

the cats are DEEPLY DISTURBED.

today's questions:
* what do I need to do today?
* can I just go back to sleep instead?
* do I want coffee?
* do I want coffee badly enough to accept the inevitable side effects of drinking coffee?
* no really, do I want coffee *that* much?
* what do I need to do this week?
* has Skyrim been downloaded on my laptop yet?
* no really coffee??

Lefty could probably make better inroads with the family Gang of Three if he tried courting Junior, but Junior may not be old enough for it, and I'm not sure if they'd let him into their territory or drive both him and Junior out, so. Lefty doesn't seem to have any other fixed crow associates; he might be associated with others, but when more crows show up at my porch I can't figure out which is whom.

Dad: doesn't eat from suet feeder; can carry 2 peanuts by stacking them, but hasn't shown the "swallow 1, carry 2" trick; actively courting Mom; louder, more frequent calling than Mom or Junior
Lefty: easily recognizable, has injured/deformed left foot that will not flatten or grip properly; same size as Dad, so probably male; seems determined to make my back porch part of his territory, is in passive competition with Gang of Three (Mom, Dad, Junior); only takes 1 peanut

Junior (leftover offspring from spring): eats from suet feeder by standing on porch rail and reaching up; has unique call, where zir "caws" end with a hiccuping sound ("caw caw hic"), and flares zir wings like a begging fledgling when calling; is either female (same size as mom) or not fully grown; only takes 1 peanut at a time
Mom: eats suet by standing on feeder pole; is being courted by Dad; takes at least 2 peanuts at a time, has learned the "swallow 1, carry 2" trick

@Angle@witches.town hi! you have really nice cheekbones! :D

okay sleeptime gnight awarrrroooo ;) <3

@kara@occult.camp I would miss you, but I support whatever you need to do to self-care--but I also think it's not a good idea to make long-term decisions when very depressed, as you seem to be. do you have a secondary, smaller, more private account? it could make for a quieter, more positive "escape" while still staying in touch. *nosetouch*

@kara@occult.camp dream well, hon. *sends warm gentle hugs*

@literorrery somebody would! possibly you? probably me?

I would! and I find your third-hand reality fascinating, so. :D

@brassmerino okay, that sounds like a tentative winner! :D

@brassmerino (hey @anthracite do you want to be removed from this convo?)

there's a couple of places that seem to have GF options--Olympia Pizza & Spaghetti House II, Julia's in Wallingford, aaaand it says Tutta Bella's but I didn't see anything on their website that said anything about GF options, I'll do a bit more digging...
