Since Mother Eve in the Garden long ago

It was VERY nice out today, so I took the cats out in their harness (separately, I only have one harness). I was tired from just having walked downtown and back for boba, so for Bonnie I just sat in a chair and let her wander around me with a very "wtf, I want to go farther, why are you being like this?" air. Clyde was still very nervous, slinking around on his stomach along the foundation of the house, but then the mailman went up on the porch to deliver a package and he flipped out. Was terrified of me but still at the end of a leash, so he couldn't get away, and I was trying to pick him up to bring him back in and he was just losing his tiny mind. My arms are now all scratched up and I think I'm going to stop trying to make outside time a thing for him.

Also bought and planted a blue phlox and a pink iris for my side yard near the black walnut - they are supposed to be tolerant of the nastiness those trees put into the ground. But expensive.

I just finished tomorrow's ficlet for Domaystic and scheduled it to post on Tumblr in the morning, and I am so excited!!! Because it is Ed/Stede!!! And that is all I think about lately!!! I think I'm going to do a fourth watch-through of Our Flag Means Death. Yesterday's ficlet is here and is fic of Howl's Moving Castle.
