Dec. 4th, 2019 11:29 am*sigh* Haven't felt much like writing anything lately. Maybe it's due to the season being one of drawing in instead of outward expansion? IDK, but it's not happening much lately.
I have been "nesting" of a sort. NoNewSewMo saw me doing a deep dive into The Stash - only one box wasn't gone through - and I pulled out 2 boxes worth of fabric I no longer want. WHY did I ever buy khaki cotton?? That was a complete mental lapse on my part. And WHY do I have SO MUCH lilac colored linen??
NoNewSewMo also saw me cutting off a lot of hems on things in my Mending pile. Too many things in that pile are there because they need to be shortened. It's pretty common when you're only 6'1" tall, and the trend is for looong skirts/dresses. Don't get me wrong - I've always liked mid to lower calf hems, but the maxi length means it puddles on the ground for me. Annoying.

I've also culled my books of things I've already read and don't want to read again, or books I no longer want to read. Also a few that I want to read, but don't need to keep because I can borrow from the library in ebook form. That's mainly fiction, but not exclusively.
+++
I haven't bothered watching any of the Democratic Primary Debates - mainly because the field is just too big. I like the positions all of them espouse so much better than I do the current officeholder, so I'm not worried about who will eventually get the nomination. My only worry is that there are still too many people running. It's high time to narrow the field down to maybe 5 so the party isn't too divided to win on election day.
Likewise, I am not watching the Impeachment hearings. It's just makes me too angry too fast to watch. The conclusion is clear to me that the idiot needs to be removed as quickly as possible, but the next in line scares me too. The U.S. is NOT a Christian democracy, it's a secular democracy, and needs to stop tending towards preferrential treatment for one religion over any other. And our VP is only going to do his best to hasten the slids in the wrong direction.
But enough about politics. I'll just work myself into a bad mood.

Mr Ct gave us a scare a couple weeks ago. He suddenly started acting "of" for no reason, and rather dramatically. He was spending at LOT of time hiding under the bed, and didn't want to come out even when food was being offered. The few times we got him out he would simply curl up on the bed for a few minutes, and the next time we checked, he would be back under the bed. Sometimes he would eat a few kibbles if we hand fed him, other times he would refuse it. The afternoon before we took him to the Vet, I didn't know if it would be his last visit, or even if he wasn't already dead since I couldn't get down to look under the bed.
But he was alive, and the bloodwork done at the Vet showed nothing but high blood sugar and dehydration. So they gave him fluids and an appetite stimulant and we took him home. And he did recover, so we're happy. Still no idea what happened, but he is back to being highly food motivated, and we've him playing with Livia and us. He does seem to be moving a little slower, so maybe he's just feeling his age.
