chocolatepotI took Bonnie and Clyde for their first vet visits today! Bonnie seemed okay at the time, but it clearly upset her because as soon as we got home she ran and hid - initially in my bedroom, where she hissed at Clyde when he poked his head in her direction and then ran away to the basement. She only came out about ten minutes ago, and when I went down there a couple of times to look for her she stayed well away. She just doesn't like to be touched by strange people ... anyone but me, really. Clyde handled it a lot better, even though he had to get a vaccine.
She's still hissing at him now. He is misreading it as an invitation to play, as usual. :/ Just chased her back down into the basement.
Today I came across a Tumblr post on fanbinding (that is, home bookbinding of fanfiction) that remarked on the fact that people typically/only bind copies of longfic, and showed the process for binding single-signature "books" of one-shots. And I was like, I could do that! I've been avoiding getting into bookbinding even though I want to because I don't need another hobby, especially one that requires specialized supplies and equipment, but that seems so much more low-key. Of course, after typesetting and printing one sample very short fic, I started prepping one of my favorite one-shots by After the Rain, and then I decided I've got to make a little collection of her one-shots instead/as well ... so I guess I'm going to get into the more serious binding processes after all. I already have a mental list going of what to do next, and plan to do doubles of everything so I can also send a copy to the writers.
It will be interesting to see if this is a fleeting ADHD impulse or something I could keep up with. The extensive, detailed instructions for hardcover books certainly set off my executive dysfunction, but maybe when actually doing it it all feels more natural? IDK, it seems like someone who struggles to make a whole garment/ensemble would probably struggle with this, but it just looks so cool, I've got to give it a shot.
