Just to add...

mxcatmoonJust wanted to clarify my previous post about Corvyx. I encourage everyone to support these artists via Patreon and elsewhere, because they deserve it. I'm just very grateful that people like me who can barely afford to buy groceries are blessed to be able to listen to these artists even when we don't have the money to pay. (That's why I like, sub, and share as much as I can).
He's also on Spotify, FYI. I'm about to head over there now.
So, while I'm here, have another video. This seems to be one of his most popular ones.

Why have I never heard of Corvyx?!
Jul. 7th, 2025 01:35 ammxcatmoonI'm ashamed to say I've just discovered Corvyx tonight. He is a phenomenal talent. The kind of performer you listen to with your mouth hanging open. His videos are professional quality, too. There are so many amazingly talented musicians on YouTube, and they share their art with us, and you can listen for free. I love YouTube artists.
I know, I know. Disturbed did the ultimate cover of this song, but just... give it a listen.

Restful day
Jul. 6th, 2025 10:40 pmsilver_chipmunkI woke up a bit after 10:00, then went back to sleep til about 11:30. Then I got up and had breakfast and coffee.
I puttered online awhile, then I cleaned the cat pan. Then I did something I was originally planning to do next month, but decided to do now instead, I ordered a new computer. The one i was originally going to get directly from HP was no longer available, so I went to the site for Best Buy. I found what I think is the same computer, on clearance, for less, and I put it on my Best Buy card. This computer is literally falling apart, and on Wednesday one of the USB ports stopped working. The new one will be delivered the 14th. It's smaller than this one, 14' instead of 17' but it's cheap.
After that I went to the Starsky and Hutch creative work session by Zoom. That was fun. And I actually wrote a little bit. The Kid called briefly while I was on.
That ended a bit after 6:00. I put clothes on and took the bag of kitty litter and the empty box out, and walked around the block.
Then I Teamed the FWiB. We talked about an hour and a half. Then at 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He is doing fine, went swimming and had a barbeque on the 4th of July.
Then I had dinner and went to the bedroom to play solitaire.mashfanficchick called and we talked about tomorrow.
At pet feeding time I came out and fed the pets and started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. New computer coming.
3. Middle Brother OK.
4. Ricky posted about the cottage.
5. Starsky and Hutch fandom.
6. Clean litter box.

Al-anon and Starsky and Hutch
Jul. 5th, 2025 10:32 pmsilver_chipmunkOverslept this morning a bit, then got up and had breakfast and coffee, and showered and dressed. Then I headed off to my Al-anon meeting, using the new Queens bus system.
Fortunately the 28 had not been rerouted, just a lot of stops removed, so I was able to get there. The meeting was very good, quite large.
Went to the diner afterward, and had a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant, and an iced coffee.
Then I had to figure how to get home. The 13 still stops at that stop but has been rerouted, but still goes to Flushing. Nothing on their signs told me where it actually ends though. I took the risk and took the 13, to the end and found that it ends at Roosevelt and (supposedly) Union St. Actually it stops about a half blovk past Union, but close enough.
So I walked from there, no big deal. Next eek however, I'll try the alternate route of taking the 13 to the 23 and see where THAT goes.
Anyway, I got home, and went to the Starsky and Hutch chat. The episodes this week were Los Vegas Strangler parts 1 and 2. I got here in time for part 2. So that was nice.
We chatted til a little after 7:00, when we got off and I Teamed the FWiB.
We talked for about an hour and a half. Then I got off and puttered online. I called the Kid but she didn't pick up, so I texted her.
Then I went to the bedroom and calledmashfanficchick for a bit, then played solitaire til pet feeding time, then came out and fed the pets and started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My meetings and the people in them.
3. The 28 bus not rerouted.
4. Able to get home on the 13.
5. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.
6. Lovely weather.

July Theme - Hobbies and crafts
Jul. 5th, 2025 09:52 pmpeaceful_sands posting in bitesizedcleaningThis month's theme is Hobbies and Crafts - I remember thinking that it would be hard to quantify exactly what a month of bite-size work on this theme will look like last year. I don't know about everyone else, but I certainly found plenty of things to tackle.
For those of you seeking ideas, some of the things you might want to work on include: clearing and making the space you work in more conducive to productivity, organising supplies, organising currently underway projects, organising unstarted projects, dealing with finished projects, weeding out unwanted supplies/projects. If you are a collector or a sports participant, it might be sorting/cleaning collectibles or equipment of whatever description. Anything goes this month to suit the needs of your hobbies.
For my perspective, I have multiple hobbies and crafts that I dabble in, each with their own supplies *and their own clutter*, so over the course of the month, my first goal is to retrieve some of my crafting spaces - my dining room table is clutter filled which stops me painting, my crafting chair upstairs is filled with none crafting related items, leaving nowhere there for me to sit and my scrapbooking project is split between a variety of boxes in a variety of locations. As the owner of way too many books, a fight with my book storage is always an ongoing process, and as someone who has so many different hobbies and crafts I always seem to be in need of sorting through ongoing projects to decide which ones can I make progress on quickly/finish easily?
After that who knows what's next... depending on how long each of the above tasks take, I might also allocate some time to trying to finish some almost finished projects.
Let us know what your plan is for the month and keep us posted with your progress.

Serpico and the corruption epidemic
Jul. 5th, 2025 01:15 pmmxcatmoonI did not celebrate July 4th. They served hot dogs and hamburgers at work, yeah, but, free food, can't afford to turn down.

Independence Day
Jul. 4th, 2025 11:38 pmsilver_chipmunkOverslept this morning, turned off the alarm at 10:00 and went back to sleep until 12:30. Then hurried to have breakfast and coffee and shower and dress.
Took my Agatha Christie book and my folding chair and went tomashfanficchick's place, stopping on the way first to get gluten free Oreos.
Got to zer place, ze was making Rice Crispy treats. Ze finished that up, and then we packed a bag and the insulated backpack and headed off to Forest Park. Asked if Trish wanted to come last night but she didn't.
It was a very nice day. We got a visit from a small dog belonging to the person sitting near to us, which was amusing. We sat in the shade and puttered on our phones, talked, and ate. I got a phone call from John and Denise, which was very nice, we had a good talk. The Kid texted, she has her job interview Monday.
Finally it was getting late. Fireflies came out, more than I've seen in years. We headed back and got back to zer place just in time for the broadcast of the Macy's fireworks.
Sadly the broadcast was somewhat disappointing. The filming was not great, and the musical accompaniment was uninspiring. But it's always nice seeing fireworks.
I requested an Uber, just to see how expensive it would be, to my surprise it was relatively cheap so I set out for home before it got worse.
Got here and fed the pets, then Teamed the FWiB. That was nice.
Now time for bed.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. John and Denise.
3. Fireflies.
4. Friends.
5. Rice Crispy treats.
6. Cooler weather.

Day out
Jul. 3rd, 2025 11:58 pmsilver_chipmunkI got up at 10:00, and had breakfast, showered and dressed. Then I went out to go to mahfanficchick's.
I stopped in Flushing at Duane Reade to pick up prescriptions first, which went perfectly well.
Then I went to zer place, and we hung out all day, along with zer friend Trish. We had lunch and dinner, and watched The Lincoln Lawyer, and the Mets game (Mets won, very exciting).
We also just discussed stuff, such as the calamity of the bill passed today. Enough said.
At 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He has been swimming this week, and is having a barbeque and watching fireworks tomorrow.
Finally I Ubered home, fed the pets, and started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB. Missed Teaming him but emailed as always.
2.mashfanficchick
3. Good TV.
4. Mets win.
5. Air conditioning.

D&D night
Jul. 2nd, 2025 11:14 pmsilver_chipmunkGot up at 11:00 and had breakfast, showered and dressed.
I actually walked to the post office to mail my request to the Niagara County Clerk. I made the discovery that there is a veterinarian off ice which I didn't know about between here and the post office, which is a very good thing. I haven't taken Oreo to a vet since I've owned him, s he really needs a checkup.
Came home and did not much of anything, but a very little cleaning, and took out kitty litter, and walked around the block.
I also read a little in the Agatha Christie I'm on now, Cat Among the Pigeons.
My psychologist called, and renewed my med prescriptions, which I will pick up tomorrow.
Then at 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB, and we talked til 8:00 when I had my D&D game. He had something he wanted to do too so that worked out.
The game was short two people but we played anyway, fighting two abominations, and an evil computer thing.
Then I had dinner and fed the pets, and calledmashfanficchick about plans for tomorrow.
And then I started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Got my meds refilled.
3. My D&D group, which is now been going three years.
4. Found a close by vet.
5. The Kid texted, she has a job interview.
6. Air conditioning.

No Kings! Icon
Jul. 2nd, 2025 09:40 pmmxcatmoonSo, I just whipped up a little something for the creative part of the challenge. It's not much, but feel free to swipe if you want. I've been wanting to do something along this line for a while now... There are also a couple of other themes that I was wishing I had icons for, but now I can't remember what they were.
