Dangerous bang

There was a bang in the kitchen, and it wasn't until later that we realized what had happened: the fuse had blown. Well, the same thing happened again when I tried to boil water again. A closer look revealed that one prong of the kettle plug was different from the other, worn and burnt. I then noticed that there was a black burnt mark on the table, and the same on the bottom of the kettle base. So that Lidl glass kettle just honestly broke. It literally rattled. I hope the socket is okay.

Luckily, I have another one, a ceramic kettle, but I still want a new glass one. I'm a big kettle user, I drink tea several times a day.

It used to be harder to find a plastic-free kettle. And even today, many plastic-free ones still have plastic somewhere, like on the lid or the water level indicator.

Or maybe I should just stop drinking tea? I would have liked to order at least 11 packages of Forsman's Christmas tea, but when I saw that it would cost 50 euros, I changed my mind.

 

 

 

 

I watched the final, sixth season of The Handmaid's Tale. Even though I hated all the slow motion and close-ups, I think the level of the series remained surprisingly good after the first season, which was based on the book. I liked the fact that everything wasn't wrapped up in a pretty package at the end of the series. That's probably because a sequel series, The Testaments, based on the sequel to the book, is coming.

 

 

The rush started when my Playstation plus subscription was two weeks away from ending. I always want to play Red Dead Online every day for at least a month when there's snow around Christmas. Now I'm going to miss it because PS+ is ending soon.

And now the first Red Dead Redemption was released on Extra to celebrate the PS5 version, so I've had to play it through in a hurry.

Before this, I had only played Hello Kitty Island Adventure every day, and now suddenly I've had to play three games every day.

And then it was told that Cat Quest 3, which is on my wishlist, will be come to Extra on the very day my PS+ ends...

 

My favorite word in the English language: Arse

Well, that's how it happened, on Kali's memorial day, internet problems hit and I couldn't play or stream the game Cats and the Other Lives. I took it as a personal insult because the internet started working better the second I would have stopped playing. The internet only worked while I was cooking and eating. When I started playing, it stopped working again. Well, in the end, I managed to get it working for a while in the evening, but I had to stop playing when ER started on TV.

And finally, late in the evening, it turned out that the internet not working was not even due to DNA, but to us. Since I wanted to stream the game, I was afraid that the wifi wouldn't work well enough through the door, and so I wanted a LAN cable for the PS5 just in case. That's why the internet went haywire! So the wifi would have worked normally all day, but the wired internet wouldn't. Resetting the router helped. 

That's never happened before. However, I always had a habit of changing PS5's internet to wired when playing Friday, as wifi is not necessarily enough for online games.

And again I was disappointed because the episodes of ER are censored and cut. The last episode of the 12th season 21 Guns had been cut from everywhere. From the beginning, from the shooting and from the end. Because of the latter also the song, Snow Patrol's "Open your eyes", (beware of shameless promotion of my own video) ended in the middle... It's been a while since I've had any of my favorite episodes on my computer, they were lost when I replaced my computer because there was supposedly no space on the hard drive. I used to watch these episodes often, but now it's not possible.

 

 

It really scared me how much of the next day's episode, the first episode of the 13th season, Bloodline, had been cut. There's a lovely song, David Gray's "Slow Motion", during which some gory things happen. I found on Youtube German dub version of that scene. It was a big surprise then that Bloodline wasn't censored at all. I guess it would have been too difficult, just because of that song.

Another pair of leggings fell apart from the arse in the wash. Will this buying of clothes never end?

When I realized that my newest socks, Happy socks, were broken, I realized that they probably aren't a very durable brand. Luckily, Facebook was able to immediately advertise to me what I need, namely customizable cat socks. They are expensive though and of course plastic, so I won't buy them.

 

 

Now you can have it, fill your pots with porridge! I was so happy when Forsman's Christmas tea went on sale at Prisma. I calculated that I would need more than 24 packages to last me the whole year.

 

 

I guess I shouldn't buy a tea advent calendar, because those teas are always crap.

I went to Lidl mainly for the sugar-free chocolate. I was afraid it would be out of stock, and there seemed to be only dark chocolate on the shelf. Luckily, I realized that behind all that red there seemed to be a hint of blue. The sugar-free milk chocolates were hidden behind the sugar-free dark chocolates.

Chocolate is still amazingly cheap at Lidl, only 2.49. I think it's very similar to Lindt chocolate, which costs over 6 euros at Siilinjärvi's supermarket, for example. In that same store, Stephen King's The Long Walk costs 19.90, while everywhere else it costs no more than 13.90. I feel like saying that some people are fucking greedy bastards. 

 

A year without cats

My last cat, Kali, died exactly one year ago at the age of 19. My other two cats died in August 2024.

 

 

I guess I should be ashamed to admit that out of my three cats, Kali is the only one whose death date I couldn't remember by heart, I had to check it.

 

 

Kali was always the third cat I got when she was already 4 years old. Tabitha was my firstborn, and Olivia was my youngest and my lap cat. What was Kali?

Personally, I think Kali's heart broke when the other cats mysteriously disappeared, and her body just gave up. Without the urinary tract infection she had a month before her death, we would not have known anything about the tumor.

 

 

And again I thought I'd play some cat game to honor the day. 

Stray I meant to play already on the anniversary of Olivia's death, but Cat and Ghostly Road's white cat suited better for that. 

And now I've been saving up the game Cats and the Other Lives I bought on sale for this purpose, let's see if it is any good.

 

 

The worst thing is that all three cats died in such a short time. After 17 years of daily care, life fell apart.

 

 

Some might think it's crazy that the cat scratching posts, beds and toys are still in their original places here.

 

Streamlabs alternative: OBS Studio

September 28th, daylight

I started to get a little annoyed when I realized that I can't play the randomizer mod Biorand for Resident Evil games on my computer. Or I can't record my gameplay, which is the same thing. When Streamlabs doesn't recognize Biorand as a game.

So I thought I'd miss "September 28th, daylight" today!

There was already talk of getting my spouse to play for me, or playing on my spouse's computer.

 

 

Then I made the mistake of finally letting Streamlabs install an update. Big mistake. After that update, Streamlabs behaves every time I open it as if I were launching it for the first time. So I have to change all the settings every time. So the update was just an evil plan to force users to register/log in. I got pissed. Also, Streamlabs' gameplay recordings have started to be pretty annoyingly jerky.

Then I installed OBS Studio as an alternative, and started trying it out. It doesn't require any terrible adjustments to the recording window, it works automatically! Unfortunately, OBS doesn't recognize Biorand either... or so I thought. I changed the setting from game recording to window recording, and Biorand recording works!

AND... Unlike Streamlabs, gameplay recording is not jerky but smooth. So Streamlabs is going to the trash?

So maybe I'll get to play the beginning of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis today, September 28th, daylight. Then on September 29th, Resident Evil 2 in its entirety, and then the end of RE3.

I already thought I should get a new graphics card so I could record Biorand and get better gameplay video of F13.

And I also started thinking about how much I have paid to play F13? I didn't buy the game at all for the Playstation, just the couple of euros worth of DLCs. Okay, later I bought the disc version "as a souvenir" just to be safe. The Playstation pluses of the past few years have been mostly because of playing Friday. I bought the game and add-ons for the PC. The current Resurrected doesn't cost anything, of course.

If I had added the price of a new graphics card to this... And if I got a new graphics card, my current monitor wouldn't work with it either.

 

A year without Tabitha

"Where's Tabitha when you need her?"

Like when changing the sheets.

I recently had a dream about cats. Kali had a swollen belly, like before she died. But then Tabitha came along, demanding attention and nudged me.

 

 

When Tabitha stopped eating, it was thought that it was because of her chronic runny nose. I just couldn't accept that the cat would die because of a stuffy nose, it would have been too unfair. But then it turned out that Tabitha had a tumor near her lungs. So in hindsight, it was clear that Tabitha was already feeling so bad that she didn't want to eat anymore.

 

 

The strangest thing is that Tabitha started eating again after the animal hospital. There was no reason for her to do that. Of course it feels bad that Tabitha had to go through that intensive care, but without it we humans would have had too much to deal with. When it comes to cats' final days, the uncertainty is the worst.

 

 

And the unnecessary trip to the dentist a month before Tabitha's death still hurts. It didn't even solve Tabitha's eating problem. But we didn't know that death was near.

 

 

Tabitha was my firstborn, and that's why she's so dear to me.

I want to play some cat game again in "honor" of this day. Or have someone else play for me. The choice is probably Little Kitty, Big City. I don't know if there is any (console) game where you play as a black and white cat.

 

 

 

A year without Olivia

It's been a year since my youngest cat, Olivia, died. I can say that there is no life after cats. I will never get over my guilt. For not realizing that Olivia was about to die.

That moment when the vet called and told me that Olivia has to be put down, and I couldn't continue talking on the phone because I was crying.

 

 

Yesterday I noticed that the shorts I wore while washing the cat toilets are not where my other shorts are. They were still where I kept them when I was still cleaning toilets. The last time was the week of Olivia's death. That's when I cried for Tabitha, I remember how the tears mixed with the wash water. I didn't know it would be Olivia who would die first.

And I can't get over the fact that both Olivia and Tabitha died on the name days of the characters of my first novel (who both die in the story). Luckily, Kali didn't do that. 

 

 

 

My fear of death has subsided because I don't want to live without cats, because life without them is pointless and because I think they're waiting for me out there somewhere. Of course, I don't really believe that, but still.

Last night I cried so much for Olivia that I had got arrhythmia. Would it be appropriate to die on the same day?

I would like to finish writing some of my stories before I die, though. I'd be damned if I died before then.

I had already decided that I would play through the game Stray again on the anniversary of Olivia's death, but then the game Cat and Ghostly Road was on sale. In it, you play as a white cat.

 

 

 

I still open the door for Olivia after the shower. Luckily, I still remember Olivia's unique meow.

 

 

I still open the window in the evenings
even though I know you won't come and shout anymore...

 

Heat hell

The other weekend I went out to party, or rather, I tried to. Even though the bar was quite full of people, the main bar counter was still not open. Well, I saved money when I only bought one drink, and that saved me from a hangover. I used to go to that bar often in the summer, from the opening to the closing. But apparently there's no need to go there anymore, since they're not interested in selling alcohol.

And then the heat came, so I can't go out. I finally went out in the evening when they say it's cooler then, and now it's "only" 27 degrees. But they say you can't get vitamin D from the sun in the evening, so it's not good.

The funniest thing about the heat is of course that my feet complain that they're freezing. I've been wearing thin cotton socks instead of thermal socks and wool socks. Sick. I guess I have to buy pycnogenol since many people claim that it can help with blood circulation in the legs. I used it years ago for endometriosis.

 

 

One night I saw an alien in my bedroom by the wardrobe. I was terrified and my heart was racing. It's nice to know that according to a recent study nightmares shorten the lifespan.

Nothing will come of this anyway, since I've been stressed all summer. My jaw is in the wrong position all the time. What am I stressing about? At least about health issues and my writing. That's sick, too.

I realized that I don't get much vitamin C from food. Of course, I take a vitamin C supplement every day, but still. My diet is so one-sided these days. Of vegetables, I mostly eat carrots, and sometimes broccoli less often because it's more expensive. I've been eating kiwis now, but they're bad for my tooth enamel. I used to eat strawberries, open-field cucumbers and watermelon in the summer, but now I can't when I'm even poorer. I don't care about cooking, and I try to get by with as little as possible. I cook some frozen vegetables in a pot, and I prefer to cook meat in the oven. If I did it in a pan, I would have to watch over it, no thanks.

 

 

I've been trying to write and edit my second novel in July. It feels like an endless swamp, because only about half of the text is even somewhat in chronological order. It hasn't progressed as much or as well as I had hoped. And I've even cried when I got to a certain point in the editing process, and LibreOffice closed itself without saving. I usually save often, but not that time. And the closing wasn't caused by Libre itself, but by my mouse, which likes to do its own thing and act as it pleases. My nerves are just going 24/7.

As the anniversaries of the cats' deaths approach, I've been crying. A year ago, they were about to die, and I, an idiot, didn't realize anything. Even a year without cats is so terrible that I can't bear it. Luckily, there are no old and sick cats suffering from this heat.

Is there life after Dreamlight Valley? I've spent 175 hours of my summer on it, completely addicted. But I have to stop when I finish all the friendship quests and there's nothing left to do. I could get more things to do by buying the DLCs, but of course I won't do that since I've borrowed the base game from the library. I do dream of a capybara... a big guinea pig, which you get in one of the DLCs.

 

 

The trip to Lidl was a success because I got the clothes I wanted, namely cycling shorts and sleeveless tops. I was pretty sure they wouldn't be cotton, but luckily they were. The cycling shorts were an older batch though because they were on sale, only 3.23 euros. There were no linen tops in size S, so I didn't buy them. But I was very disappointed when there was no sugar-free milk chocolate at all, I'm afraid they've stopped making it altogether.

 

Busy summer vacation

I would like to play Dreamlight Valley around the clock, a really addictive game with plenty to do. It's just a shame that my neck can't handle playing it all the time and it gets painful.

At the same time, I want to edit my first novel. I should also watch ER and Two and the Half Men. And of course, read books.

So, I'm busy!

 

 

 

ER always disappoints

Yes, I was disappointed with the televised version of ER again. I had been waiting a long time for the first episode of the 9th season, Chaos Theory, because it is where Romano loses his hand. Right from the start, it felt like something was seriously wrong, and as the scene progressed, it became clear that it had been cut in many places with a heavy hand. For example, the hand was not shown being detached, nor the detached hand that was later further away. They couldn't even show the detached hand being put in a plastic bag, so all the nice gore was censored. Even the vomiting. I'll have to settle for the uncut version on Youtube again. It was also funny that in the "previously on ER" section of the next episode, the hand was shown being detached better, I guess they forgot to censor it.

 

 

Old woman at the bar

I hadn't been to a bar since February 2020, and I hadn't eaten out since my birthday in 2020. Back then, it was exceptional when there was no Wine Festival in Kuopio, and I even got to eat at Wanha Satama.

But now it was shocking to realize in the bar that I wasn't interested in drinking. That I would rather be at home playing Dreamlight Valley. I was interested in knowing how much my favorite drink Caipiroska costs these days. Answer: 9.70 euros at Gloria. It would be/was expensive to get drunk.

I hadn't worn heels in five years, I was seriously afraid that I would break my ankle. My feet hurt right from the start, so I have to give up those shoes. And now I'm afraid that the problem wasn't with those shoes, but what if all heels hurt my feet?

Well, I finally got to wear in my pink floral dress. I bought it on eBay in the fall of 2019, big mistake because covid hit. The dress is made of polyester, which is plastic, and it has a lining. So it's like a double plastic shell. And it doesn't even fit me properly, I'm too skinny.

 

 

And then one night I had a nocturnal vision where I saw the date August 13th, and immediately thought it would be the day I die. In the morning I realized that it was the day my cat Tabitha died.

 

Midsummer?

The next time I ventured out was on Midsummer's Eve, luckily my feet were only slightly touched. For the first time ever, I saw an animal in the Puijo forest. It must have been a roe deer or a deer. 

 

 

 

My life as a cat

Strange life. No drinking, no gaming. PS5 hadn't been started for a long time. Normally it would be on every day. I realized that there is a lot of free time in life when you're not gaming.

But then a news bombshell hit. Which I only found out about many weeks later. I had been waiting for a year (!) for the cat game Little Kitty, Big City to come to Playstation. And I found out about it two weeks after the release date. I rushed to buy it. And played through it twice. A wonderful game, of course a bit expensive considering its scope.

 

 

And when there are no school courses to do, there hasn't been much to do. I should write, and that is what I was meaning to do. But I should try to protect my eyes from overexertion. It hurts my eyes and they feel really dry.

Well, when I finally got around to starting, editing my first novel has been going well. I set a goal of sorts to finish that round by my birthday, so that I could then focus on my second (third) latest novel idea after that. The one I would most like to finish. It seems to be just under 27,000 words at the moment, so that would be enough work. Of course, there are still too many short story ideas coming.

 

 

Only I know how to ruin the kitchen rug by buying fish. The fish fat dripped onto the rug and then it smelled so bad that the whole apartment smelled of it.

I finally got to see a dental hygienist when the last appointment was canceled. I wanted to stop drinking tea so my teeth wouldn't stain again. It's hard for an addict to stop drinking tea cold turkey. A few days later I realized that life without tea isn't worth living. And I got a sore throat, which gave me an excuse to go back to drinking tea.

I had to have my passport photo taken on the same trip, and my passport has been ordered. I'd like to go to a bar in the summer, and go on that cruise. But how would I manage that? Just on the train ride, my legs would swell and hurt, not to mention all the other aches and fatigue.

 

 

Reasons to celebrate?

Last week there was reason to celebrate when I finally passed my math course. Towards the end I started to stress about it. It felt like a nightmare that would never end, it just kept going on and on. 13 sections, 13 exams. And the worst part is that there were only 12 sections before. When I passed the last exam I wanted to cry tears of joy. Now I can take a break from studying with a clear conscience?

 

 

On Saturday, my favorite ski jumper Domen Prevc was third in the ski flying competition. It feels good after such a crappy season. I always wish Domen the most success on ski flying, because he was made to fly. After the first round, Domen was fourth, so there was enough excitement in my pants. In the end, he only got a podium finish by 0.8 points. And asshole Viaplay stopped the broadcast just as Domen was celebrating at the start of the "pre-" award ceremony!!! I can almost never see the real award ceremony.

 

 

 

Then on Sunday... Domen won the competition! He was in the lead after the first round. My heart was racing while waiting for the results after Domen's second jump. Rarely does a sporting event affect me like this. After Domen's miserable start to the season, I couldn't have believed in such success. And what did Viaplay do this time? They stopped broadcasting right in the middle of Domen's interview. I hate you so much, Viaplay...

 

 

I played too much Resident Evil 2 randomizer last week. Especially on Friday night, when I played through the game twice. You could say that the Biorand tournament has inspired me, and I keep getting ideas for new seeds. It still sucks that there's only one version of Rebecca in Biorand, I'd at least need the Zero version.

Last week, Logan agreed to be my boyfriend in Sandrock Online, so that's a reason to celebrate too. You don't think so?

I promised myself that when the new year starts and Friday ends, I'd focus on editing my first novel, at least one chapter a day. Have I done it? Well, I haven't had time. Too much gaming (95%) and studying (5%). And of course, I have to try to watch at least 2 hours of Two and a half men every day, even though I've already seen all those episodes a million times. But of course, it doesn't matter, I don't know where you could sell a Finnish novel. Amazon isn't worth it, and Books on Demand is chargeable these days.

Last week I finally finished my two English short stories and put them up for sale on Amazon. My problem is those cover arts, they look awful when I have to do them myself.

 

Christmas without cats

Less than a couple of weeks before Christmas I was home alone for the first time. Before, cats were there to protect me from ghosts. Now the cats are ghosts themselves. Both nights my heart was pounding so hard I couldn't sleep, I had to take hawthorn.

 

 

The food order was already a week before Christmas, and I wondered if the hams and especially the rosolli would last long enough, and they were surprisingly good. Just to be on the safe side, I bought all the different rosollis, so that at least one would last over Christmas. I don't need much at Christmas. Ham, rosolli and mayonnaise are enough. And The Snowman, the Christmas peace declaration and From All of Us to All of You. Amazingly, I managed to watch Home Alone 2 in its entirety this time, I left it unfinished last time.

 

Since there are no more cats, we could put up a Christmas tree, real or plastic one. We couldn't have a plastic table tree because Tabitha wanted to eat it. We only had a real big tree once, and the cats really were into it. At least Olivia wanted to mess with a paper table tree, I don't remember if the others wanted to too. But these pictures are of a real table tree from ten years ago. And I should probably mention that all the photos in this post are old.

 

 

 

I could take a poisonous Christmas flower, and not worry about the strings on gift boxes that are deadly to cats.

 

 

This Christmas, there will be no board games, just Friday, on its last Christmas. We'll see if there are enough players, or if everyone is on some kind of "Christmas party". But the goal is to shake Chad's red speedo ass.

Last Halloween

My favorite game has two months to live. In that fact there's more than enough horror for Halloween. Friday the 13th: The Game, I hardly knew you. Just a little over 2000 hours played, during six years.

 

So today I should try to play all day. Last year the true horror of Halloween was all about playing as Lachappa, and I thought about the same thing now. But then I realized that for me the above-mentioned thing would be playing as bunny Deb... I wouldn't want bunny roast :(

Somewhat related: In Finland the free Pluto TV has recently shown the Friday the 13th (affiliate link) movie series on its own channel, apparently in honor of Halloween. I can say that they are definitely not suitable movies for me. But the funniest thing is keeping an eye for familiar places from the game, how well they are implemented in the game.

 

 

Last year I had a long fight with a pumpkin, and the reward was very little edible part. This time I won't make that mistake, I bought ready-made pumpkin puree. I eat it with prepared meatballs (gluten-free). Yummy and so gourmet!

 

There are a lot of ghosts around this Halloween. Cat ghosts. Fresh cat ghosts. You don't believe that? At least this picture proves it. I would have others similar, but I will save the blog from them.

 

After losing the cats my life is meaningless. Nothing can make it better. Nothing. Everything is completely broken and ruined for good.

 

Two nights ago I petted Olivia (again) in my sleep and cried. I knew it wasn't the real Olivia, but she had only come to comfort me.

A cat lady without cats

Home is quiet. There are no more cats.

After 17 years together, all my three cats died within a couple of months.

 

 

On the morning of Kali's death, I felt sick, and I wondered what would happen. But luckily I have been able to eat normally and haven't vomited. However, sleeping has been difficult. My stomach pains have been bothering me for a long time, and now they have gotten worse too. I associate them with stress, or worse. They are not endometriosis pain. This week, my back has also hurt so much that bending over is difficult.

"Can you get used to such an easy life?" It's hard to remember that no one needs food anymore at cat feeding times. No need to feed the cats, wash their food bowls, change their water, clean and wash their toilets. Not to mention the end-stage meds, cleaning asses and cleaning the floors of diarrhea.

The cleaning started immediately after Kali died. I've put the cats' things either in the trash or in storage, depending on the condition. For example, there are plenty of food and drink cups, even unused ones. The toilets that were in poor condition and with stubborn stains all went into the trash, I didn't buy any more new ones, but decided that we'll go with these until the end. All opened dry food (there must have been at least 8 different ones!!) and treats and nutritional supplements in the trash. Prescription drugs to the pharmacy. But I don't know what to do with the scratching posts and the water fountain?

There is an awful lot of cat food left. (Zooplus' last order arrived the day after Kali's death. Adding insult to injury?) 3x 14 kilo bags of cat litter, I avoided opening a new bag. There are lots of unopened phosphorus binders, and a couple of big tubes of diarrhea medicine (and a big jar of kaolin powder). There is also an unopened bottle of Kaminox. We got so much everything that was left unused. But at least I can use up Kali's laxatives myself.

 

 

What I would give now for Olivia to sit in front of the computer screen and disturb me. That she would come to bed in the morning, demanding breakfast.

That Tabitha would be interfering with the changing of the sheets. And demanding that I eat my dinner faster so that she could have the leftovers.

I have constantly seen delusions that Kali is still on the top level of the scratching post. From my seat at the computer, I can see right to the top level through the reflection of a painting.

No one wants to sit on my computer chair anymore, I win the chair game every time. Kali no longer sits on the corner of my computer desk waiting for a treat.

There is no one spreading cat hair around anymore, nor spreading cat litter. I guess I could say that I don't miss the smell of piss and shit, and they were mainly caused by Olivia.

It is completely unnatural that you can carelessly leave the walk-in closet door open when there is not a single cat trying to get in.

 

No, I'm not going to get a new cat. The main reason for that is financial. In my current financial situation, I can't even afford myself, let alone another living being. And this money situation will probably never improve, rather the opposite.

I was really quite an idiot when I got three cats when I was "young". Didn't worry about tomorrow? I would not have survived these last times without the financial support of my spouse. For example, Tabitha's one hospital day cost 1400, Olivia's death cost 1000 euros. Compared to that, Kali's death was "cheap", 600.

Pictured are my favorite things in the world: my cats, playing Friday and vodka. Pathetic? Maybe someone thinks so.

 

Playing Spiritfarer (affiliate link) again is not as simple as I thought. We don't own that game. It used to be on Playstation plus, but it's not anymore. So I should buy it. And I should be patient to wait for it to be on sale.

World Animal Day?

I'm worried about my cat Kali. She has been living on dry food and dry treats for years, and now she doesn't want to eat them. Instead, Royal Canin's kitten mousse would do, i.e. wet food. I've been putting off placing the Zooplus order for a while, because I'm afraid that Kali might be dead by the time it arrives. Anyway, I'm drowning in cat food, and still I should get more so that it would be the kind Kali would like.

Kali has started channeling Olivia. She wants to go to the balcony all the time to check the temperature, has summer come back? But I'm terribly afraid that summer will never come again. At least not for Kali.

Kali has also started to have a pretty scary-looking sleeping position at times.

 

I used to do a picture post of my cats on my blog on World Animal Day, but now I won't do it. Before Tabitha's death, I was going to make a post about it under the title "Kuopio's Leaning Cat". We have a slightly crooked cat scratching post on the balcony...

The playing of Friday every day has started quite well. Because I realized to make it my goal to ragequit in every match... or that I don't even dream of escaping. I have to act like this so that idiots don't disturb my peace of mind. When idiots happen I just calmly ragequit. But it was especially nice when a Jason from Sweden did a ragequit because of me. SWEDEN HAS BEEN BEATEN

 

It had been a long time since I made an Iherb order, but now I got a 28 percent discount on everything. I really had to get lip balm, and you can't get that from anywhere else? When sending the package, Iherb claimed that it would be delivered by Matkahuolto. But soon a message came from Budbee that the package was coming to them. That could be a bit of a problem when, at least according to its website, Budbee does not operate in Kuopio. The package arrived in Finland on Friday, and after that the status was just "Your order is on its way to our nearest sorting center". Budbee took a WEEK to get the package to Kuopio within Finland. That is, longer than it took for the package to come from the USA to Finland... Well, miraculously, the package finally arrived, and by home delivery as it should.
