There's a chill in the air, but I really need an overnight freeze
KCRF is over half-way done! It's been mostly great*, although my allergies are killing me. My sinuses are achey and swollen, my eyes are sticky and gross, and I'm starting to cough up stuff. Good times. I have an appointment with Dr. Burt this morning to discuss my thyroid lab results and I'm going to ask him to re-up my Astelin prescription to get me through the rest of faire.

roya_spirit hung out with me last week and commented that Fetish looks like she's getting senile. I think that's right. Now that it's been pointed out to me, I see it. She often looks confused or disoriented. Like, not normal cat confused like walking into a room and looking around before walking back out. This is more walk into a room, look around, look around, look around some more, and then sit down to get her bearings. She also has an old-lady head shake thing going on sometimes. We bumped her insulin dose to two units twice a day (from one twice a day) and I've been keeping an eye on her litterbox to track how much she's peeing (lots of peeing = still having blood sugar issues). It's decreased a little, maybe, but still seems like a lot for one not-quite-nine-pound cat. We're still keeping her locked in the bathroom most of the time, because she can't be trusted to roam the house without peeing in inappropriate places. I've had her out for most of the morning today (I'm staying home until my appointment) and I've followed her to watch her whenever she goes around the corner to the kitchen. She wobbles a little bit when she walks. Poor old kitty.
I hope to sell some bloomers and petticoats at Wild Man Vintage. As soon as I get the thumbs-up from the owner, I'll start production. For those girls who like to wear full skirts in the winter, but hate how your legs get chilled, here's a possible solution. The bloomers stop mid- to high-thigh and are adjustable at the waist and leg opening (so those of us with full thighs don't cut off our leg circulation). The petticoats are approximately knee-length and are double-layered, so the fluffy part of the design is on the outside and the smooth part of the petticoat skirt is against your legs. Bloomers and petticoats are 100% cotton with venise lace on the bloomers and standard ruffled lace on the petticoats. Both can go in the washer and dryer. If you don't live locally and wish to place a special order, let me know. I'll be making sizes small, medium, and large for Wild Man Vintage, but will do special orders for sizes extra-small and extra-large. Bloomers are $30, petticoats are $40. I'll post photos and fabric samples if there's interest.
* The weather hasn't been horrible and tips have been pretty decent. =D

Edit: Got any theme of fabric you'd prefer? I have retro western, cherries, leopard print (of course), asian stuff, south-of-the-border, flames...you've seen my fabric collection. Let me know if you remember anything in particular.

Don't you?
And yes, poor old lady cat. Do you have a spare heating pad you can put in a "nest" for her in the bathroom?
I know I feel horrid bad when I have to lock the boys in the laundry room, and am considering one for them.

Leopard bloomers for you! =D

Ooh, that's a purrrfect idea.
You can scratch the lace on my bloomers, I'll sew on some black lace I have, if that's okay wid you.

I can! I'm salvaging some off an old velvet dress so it's really "drippy" but if you think that will be too long, I can run by Hancock's and pick up something this week.

You know I have that awful thing about anything that might be the least bit scratchy on my skin.

Ok, I'll get it to you then, I've been dying for something to use the remnants of this lace. It's off the hem of the Halloween dress I wore for Morticia last year.
