Just thought my blog could use some magic. I'm going to keep him here and name him Horace.

The junior buns have all moved over to the new secure pen. I only had to buy a roll of wire - the timber was reclaimed from the field shelter that blew away over winter, the ramps and cubbies were all from the junk pile and an old dog bed made a little platform or sun shade they can lie under. They seem to have settled in well!

My birb neighbors keep leaving their scraps on my front steps. Last week it was a used orange. Today it's a pile of crustless crumbling bread

I know it was them because it was gone again a few hours later

She's so fucking cute

She's also 20 minutes in basically the wrongish direction, but at least she's the right size and not falling apart

Blinded by beauty yet again: she doesn't have a basement.

Hello from the stage of release prep work where my PR guy makes me write up a whole bunch of shit about what's behind all the dark and pain-filled love songs I wrote, yayyy 💀

I survived writing it up and turning it in! Now I just have to survive being interviewed by the writer.

It's been up for 11 days and it's already under contract. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also, while I was sleeping this morning, apparently Meli asked ideal bedmate to let her out on the patio. Repeatedly. With meows. And body language. 😂 He did not oblige.

[persepinesascent]

ideal bedmate ended up being free last night, so he came over, and crashed here, even though we had planned for Wednesday. We were missing each other a lot. We had a really lovely night and had lots of lovely chats about boundaries and needs and limits and desires and moving forward very carefully together with lots of communication.

I had a rough night anyway, because my brain is a fucking hellscape, especially when it comes to overnights, and navigating these things is not without bumps, and little bumps with him are a little terrifying for me right now. But he hugged me out of my flashback, and we talked more today, and we are definitely on the same page and same team. I'm so fucking proud of him and how much he's learned.

So I slept in after he got up for work, and when i got up, he had

- left me coffee

- washed all the dishes in my sink

- carried a 15ish lb bag of kitty litter up two flights of stairs for me

- sent me a pic of Meli having breakfast snugs with him.

I'm keeping him.
