got a job rejection today that feels especially crushing, and several other jobs have taken so long to get back with me that they probably won't, so, uh, shares appreciated

That was the scene that hit me the hardest in that series. Even more than "Have you tried... NOT being a mutant?" or the Mystique Nightcrawler passing discussion.

Infusion #2 complete.

Need to stay awake a few more hours for meds, then time to sleep for a few days.

They could take away my phone or hide the clinic WiFi password but instead here I am posting through it all.

Time for a walk.

(They are actually very nice here. They brought in a second table/chair so my hydra taxi can play games while I nap in the room.)

Off to a bubbly start this morning at the IVIG clinic, but I got a nap in.

'm awake, am awake. 4:14am. Sweet floofy cat christmas, what an hour to be *waking* up instead of *still* up writing.

I wonder if I can get Cal or Indi to braid my hair for me. These are the times where having a spouse is more useful than a cat. (Glenn's back next week.)

Bed time! Tomorrow is the second infusion since they fit reapproved, so I get to wake up at 4am to get through the meds before treatment starts at 7am. And also braid my hair.

Yay..?

Wish me luck =)

A light green stalk with small green leaves just beginning to grow the tiniest bit. Old, long thin rabbitbrush leaves are going from brown to a kind of pink orange.

Yesterday, covered in snow.

Today? The dwarf rabbitbrush is starting to turn green.

Vet tech: "Cal's doing great! She's setting a good example for all the other cats back here."

Ma'am, that is not my cat. You have mixed her up with a different cat.

I could use some pointers on that. Apparently, I'm very bad at it =(

I swear some people have never been mistaken for a cat on the Internet daily and it shows.

A black ballpoint sketch of a walking griffon, viewed from the side and facing to the left of the image. Their dark-coloured wings are raised up from their body, but not spread. They have ears, facing forward, alert, and the left one is pierced with a ring. They are wearing a collar with two small feathers as pendants.

Their beak is that of a crow, including the bristles, but the head shape is slightly canine rather than full avian. Their forelegs are scaled and furless, with three forward pointing toes, and one pointing backwards. The fur on the head to the shoulders and forelegs is lighter, except for darker ears and facial tufts. The body and hindlegs are of a canine, with white V markings on the front of each back foot before the paws/toes. The tail is fluffy, with white stripes and white patches before a white tip.

Obsidian, for @someweirdbird.bsky.social

I messed up here, in a way unfortunately common for me-did a circle for the head size/placement, did loose body underlines, filled in the head, head was way too big and I needed to redo the body, on top of what I'd already drawn... πŸ˜…
