all my underdogs

All of the windows are in! :D The cats are extremely unimpressed, because it's only the windows, and so there are no windowsills for them to jump up on and peer outside with. But the rest of us are very happy, because it means no giant holes in the house overnight. :D

Everything else is gonna get finished up tomorrow, so no big deal there. The new windows are pmuch the same, except they're a little bit more fancy - they've got actual locks, not just the snibs. I... don't think we're ever going to need them, unless the metal is way, WAY weaker than the previous windows', because once you have the window snibbed it ain't going ANYWHERE. But hey, we have them! (I expect that they're designed for people like my aunties who get all freaked out by ~what if there's a burgler~, which is um. Mostly fearmongering, honestly, you're way more likely to have your car broken into than your house.)

We're of course going to have to re-install anti-cat measures, because according to the window sales guy the flyscreens they carry are only the same ones we had before, and, well. Sushi. He has proved he can get out of those. Siiiigh. I've caught him trying recently, too, so can't just hope he's forgotten about it!

Anyway, not much other than that! I finished knitting that sock up to the heel; can't do the heel 'cause I need the pattern, which I keep... on my raspi server. Which is Not Accessible Right Now. Alas! Still, got up to the heel, which is good! If I have time and brain to craft tomorrow, will see if I can drag out the one fibrearts equipment bag I need to do some crochet; didn't really wanna do that today but I'm pretty sure I know where it is so it should be okay.

Before that, though, gotta get the cats to the vet for their yearly vaccinations! That's. Going to be a thing. Given they'll be trapped in the back of the house while the window people are working, and Tortilla will be freaked the hell out because strangers!!! EXTREMELY LOUD strangers!!! But hey, at least it'll get us out of the house for a bit!

I am ready for window installation!!! :D

Getting the actual furniture moved today sucked because it was so humid and the second you thought about doing anything that required even a tiny bit of moving things, instant sweatball. Ugh. So gross.

( I get a little rambly about it. )

As things currently stand I don't have anywhere to set up my desktop right now, so I'm on the new travel computer, which is okay. Really missing my screens, but Must Be Patient, it'll be fiiiine.

...and on a completely different note, Sushi knocked the red pen I'm working on off my side table overnight, and I haven't been able to find it. :/ Got out a green one and have been using that, but it's frustrating I wasn't able to finish with the red first! It's probably under the couch somewhere but uh there is VERY little ability for me to find it given the current furniture rearrangement, so it's gonna have to wait. Boo!

Anyway! Time for bed. The window people are arriving at 7:30am (allegedly), so I will need to be awake and at least dressed by then. Which is very early for a me!
