Lawn mower

 

The lawn mower that my dad gave us when we moved into this house (which was his old lawn mower already, so likely dates from the mid-80s) is now starting well. We're looking at getting something battery powered instead. 

QCC

 Missed QCC last night - had one of my uncommon migraines. Went there tonight. There was a very powerful and complex animation by Wrik Mead that was a delight. 

Cat trouble

 Cat is on her last legs (last life?). Peed on the floor. I did some research and got a reliable cleaner for this ("Nature's Miracle"), but the living room has never been re-finished so the wood just sucks everything up. We need to start confining her places at night. 

Painting again

 Ward Schell passed this camera to me last week. I'm back in my classes, but in a way I'm feeling like I should be doing something fresh. Maybe soon. 

Groceries with mom

 No big stories. Mom had her list and we picked up groceries. Sometimes she forgets that she has something already. We went back for groceries again three days later and she wanted to buy three of four of the same items but I assured her that she had enough. Had I not been with her today (and with this photo in hand as evidence) I might not have been able to convince her. 

Sylvie the cat

 Sylvie has been shrinking for a few months now. She eats and eats and never gains weight. All just skin and bones now. She likes being outside and finding new sources of water. 

AGR opening

 I was initially quite confused by Sandee's outfit as curator today, but when a couple others also donned such attire, I realized that the animal theme of the Art Gallery of Regina's opening show was being referenced. Jeff Meldrum also pictured above.
