It's been a roller coaster.
Monday "my" stray cat who greets me in the morning on my way to work had completely lost the use of his back legs, crawled over to me with the front two to accept the pets and defroster warmed canned food. He'd been able to walk the previous week, but something had clearly happened to cause his gait to become awkward. I'm guessing he either got hit by a vehicle or some people actively hurt him. It was raining on Monday, freezing to Tuesday. I got a new device in the mail to try out, and while it's a bit ahead of others in the genre, it's so bare bones I'm a bit disappointed.
So Tuesday he wasn't around. I don't think he managed to dry off or get to somewhere warm because of the injury. I slept early.
Wednesday he still wasn't around, and I doubt he survived the freeze. Work kept me busy and I actually got to stream a bit of the new Lumines game.
And so far today is going well so far. I got fancy cardboard delivered and went ahead and bought probably way more than I should have.
Friday: my little stray lives. His back legs have patches of fur rubbed off from him dragging himself around for the week, but he's still happily eating and managing to get around with a funky teetertotter motion on.
