Done is Good
The other thing I finished today. With bonus cat content at the end (ignore my messy living room).
@cecilyv if you look closely you will see remnants of your wedding quilt fabric in here (I think).

I have decided to start living my life like I'm the most interesting person I know.

Steal something from my house:
tagged by @rcmclachlan and @liminalmemories21
What are you taking?
the detailed, white railing from an old victorian house
a smaller old library card catalog than Lim is offering
a stack of antique card games called things like "Komical Konversation Kards"
Over two dozen amiibos from a variety of games
three mason jars full of dice in a wide variety of color schemes
the collection of dog toy heads (created by my dog) that lives on the mantle
a heavy wood bookcase from a one-room school house in Texas my dad went to
a moving box full of old (but still new) frisbees

I have returned from the wilderness, and by the wilderness I mean a 3 week summer intensive continuing ed class that ate my life.
Lessons learned from this 3 week class (note, these are note the lessons I think I was supposed to be learning, but nonetheless).
I have been spoiled by writing with @cecilyv who can read my mind (save me from group projects, and people who write via ChatGPT)
I should never be allowed to edit for anyone who does not already know and love me (literal text I sent @cecilyvwho said ‘oh no!’ and then sent me a fic prompt with the promise that I was allowed to edit her with impunity)
Be the Kathy Bates from Fried Green Tomatoes that you want to see in the world (“I’m older and I have better insurance” – in this case, to ask the professor all the pointed questions because you are old and have nothing to lose, unlike the 22 year olds in the class)
Anyway, have the start of the fic prompty @cecilyv sent me on Saturday that I told her I needed two more days before she could send it to me, and then we wrote 3000 more words anyway.
Tommy has what he would call a tension headache, but he refuses to be stressed out about creating a two-week schedule, even if July 4th falls in the middle and McDaniels is due to pop any minute and Duong has ptsd and shouldn’t be scheduled for anything remotely resembling fireworks and Gerritson’s is… off doing whatever he’s doing that is not working overtime the week Tommy needs him too. “You alright over there Kinard?” Tommy sighs, “you know what you did to me, Cap.” Tommy stares at the list for outside options until his eyes blur but. Nope, Evan’s name is still there on the transfer list, open for filling the gaping hole in…Tommy’s schedule. Finally fills Evan's name into the empty shift slots, stares at it for a while longer and then bites the bullet. Prints the transfer request and takes it and the schedule over to Melton and slides them in front of him. Melton reads them and then looks up at Tommy, eyebrow raised. "You want to work with your ex?" He studiously does not have a reaction. Evan had picked him up sometimes. He'd talked about him. They hadn't been a secret. It still makes him a little twitchy to hear his boss talk about it. Says mildly, "He's a good firefighter." Melton snorts and takes off his reading glasses. "He's a great firefighter. There'd be a bidding war over him if anyone thought the request was serious." He finds he's offended on Evan's behalf. He'd wondered why the request was still out there. Says sharply, "He's not a child." Shakes his head at Melton's expression. "Sorry Cap, I didn't mean ... just, the request's been out there for two months and he hasn't withdrawn it, I think he's serious."
