A while back, a friend and I exchanged subjects for blog posts, which turned out to actually be a lot of fun.
A week ago, he, I, and another fedifriend got together to exchange blog post ideas/prompts, round-robin style.
The prompt I was given (with purposefully no context) was …

The working title of my previous post was, "A Grief Exchanged."
I couldn't quite make the title work in my head, so I abandoned it for "Adoption," which still works well.
I'm re-claiming that title for this post, because I can make more sense of where I was going with …

I wrote six months ago about the process of mourning and also my struggle to find another cat to adopt. There were a couple times that I had visited with a cat at a shelter and slowly warmed up to the possibility of adopting them, only to find that the …

A fedifriend mentioned me yesterday on a post about a recent kerfuffle regarding some decisions that Mozilla has been making, particularly in regards to buying an advertising company (and integrating advertising into the browser) and adding "A.I." features into recent builds of Firefox.
I had intended to reply with …

I sent a link to my blog to my best friend from high school, and he sent me back a screenshot of a poll I ran a month ago (dear God, where does the time go?) asking what I should post next on my blog.
The winning entry was for …

Since I haven't blogged in a couple weeks, I put out a challenge to my fedifriends to help me come up with a subject to blog on, which I would write in the next 48 hours. I put out a poll to decide what to write about, and the idea …

Just moments ago, I removed the cat bed that's been on the corner of my bed for the past nine months, and placed it in the closet.
Minutes before that, as I walked into my home, I called out to my cat one last time (which I had done nearly …

I purchased this laptop I'm writing on now about a month ago. It's a Thinkpad X260 from 2016. I looked it up online, and it was actually shipped the very day (or the day before/after) I graduated college. That's a fun little coincidence to make me feel the passage …
