35 Gifts: Day 14

[jeshyr]

Heat wave finally broke last night, ahhhhhhh the relief! It's just slightly warmer than perfect today, so I can deal with that. On the negative side, still feel achy and tireder than usual and grumpy and generally down so I'm thinking splodgenoodles is right about it being a virus and not just the heat. I hope it goes away quick!

Lots of gifting today though!

Bernadette, the manager of the HomeShare program that organises my flatmates, came over today and I gifted her with a keyring like the Christmas ones. She really loved it and wants to know about the 35 gifts project.

I also got my withdrawn money back from Kiva and invested in guaranteeing two separate loans at United Prosperity. Hopefully as those begin to repay I'll be able to make more guarantees at UP. That felt really good.

And I finally finished the new collar for Anekin and gave that to him! It's been "almost finished" since before Christmas and I thought I had a whole lot of work to do on it but I figured out that I could do just 5 minutes and it would work fine, so I did that. You can see a photo of Anekin sporting his new collar. It's made with the same friendship-band knotting I'm doing the keyrings with.

And now I'm really really really tired and need to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Love to all,
Ricky

It's knotted, like very tight macrame with embroidery thread yup. Pretty easy to do, and the back/front textures are quite different.

Ani's wonderful but not so well just recently - think he's getting arthritis possibly :(

there are medicines they can give cats for arthritis, but you can't just give a cat an appropriate-sized dose of people medicine; for example, paracetamol and aspirin are both deadly to cats. but it might not even be arthritis - there are lots of other reasons why a cat may have trouble moving freely and display signs of pain.
