Chapter Twelve of Facilitate Your User is posted

Good afternoon everyone. I posted the twelfth chapter in Facilitate Your User (or at least I hope I posted it). I’m not sure why but the website was being difficult. When I transferred the block of text, it took all the spaces out this time for reasons I don’t understand and hope never happen again. It took a long time to go back through and put them in and then I had to do it again when the page went blank and I lost it all. Therefore, I hope chapter twelve came out okay and that all the spaces are where they need to be. If not, I apologize.

Today’s picture is an older one I found while scrolling through my phone. I don’t know why, but I felt like posting it today. These are actually little doggy kimono’s. I found them a few years ago when my family visited Disney World and more specifically, Epcot. I can’t remember if they were in the Chinese or Japanese Pavilion. I want to say it was the Chinese Pavilion but I’m not certain. I do remember the Japanese Pavilion was loaded with anime and manga products and I thought I’d maybe died and gone to Epcot heaven. Anyway, I thought they were super cute and took a photo. They also seemed quite elaborate and beautiful. I’ve never actually seen a dog come into the clinic (or anywhere else for that matter) sporting such finery, but thought I’d share.

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with their cats going after their masks? I’ve found they really like the loops that go around the ears and if I lay it on the counter or hang one from a doorknob to dry after laundering it, they are going after them like crazy. I have to put mine up on the mantle to dry as it’s the only place they can’t reach. Living with cats certainly keeps you on your toes. I’ve said before I think placing sheets on a bed with cats involved should be an Olympic event. Scoring would be based on accuracy, time, creative cursing and how many times you have to throw the cats off the bed.

Off the beaten path from above . . . I’ve been thinking about adding another page to my website with names of mm books/authors that I’ve enjoyed. I’ve found that many of them are self published and sometimes aren’t as readily apparent (especially some of the older ones) when doing a search on Kindle. I’m not sure any of you would care what I like to read or not, but thought it might be a bit of a resource. It depends on the amount of time I have coming up. I looked at the time today and wondered where all of it had gone. I have so much on my mental to do list and yet I also need some mental down time so I’m not sure I’ll get much more done today. Ugh . . . I feel like I have all these plans that seem great at the time and then turn into, meh.

That’s about all for now. As always, I hope you are all doing well – staying healthy and somewhat sane. The continued cancelations of activities we look forward to yearly continues and weighs further on our collective souls. There’s a surety and mental calming associated with routine and for a lot of us, that has been blasted out of the water. All the little things are starting to add up, creating heavy mountains.
