Day 4/183: Some 366 meme answers and a cat photo

[nanila]

Telstar was given some catnip toy fish for Christmas. Here, you can see how terribly excited he is about this gift.

Jan 1: What is one thing you’d like to accomplish in 2020?

Pay off my credit card debt. (I’ve had this goal for about five years now. Sigh.)

Jan 2: What would be the first sentence of your autobiography?

It took almost twenty years of keeping an online diary for me to realise what a tremendously valuable resource it was.

Jan 3: For every day of 2020, you will be required to wear a t-shirt with the same one word on it. What word will you choose?

“Look!”

Jan 4: What one thing are you looking forward to in 2020?

Travelling. Trips already planned: Wales, Iceland, USA, France.

Jan 5: What’s your favorite way to spend a Sunday morning?

Waking up a bit later than usual, making breakfast (including a second round of coffee). Going back to bed for a bit. Then playing games with my kids, in our pyjamas.

Jan 6: Tell about an “Aha!” moment you’ve had.

I tend to mistrust these. I find a slow settling-in of a realisation to be a more convincing indicator of a genuine shift in perception.

Jan 7: In the U.S., each state has a “state flower.” If you’re in the U.S., what is your state flower?
If you live elsewhere, does your region or country have flower that represents it? (Post a picture?)

I guess in England it would be a rose, but I’m not much of an English rose. The hibiscus is a better representation of me and my origins.

Indeed. He is currently curled up on the landing, purring, having taken one look at the pouring rain outside after his supper and gone, "Forget that!"

Bless kitty.

I feel you on the credit card thing. Sigh.

I love that Scotland's is technically a thistle. Here, have a stabby weed :P

[nanila]

It's so hard to shake credit card debt. I spent many years diligently keeping zero balance but it just went out the window after Humuhumu was born. :/

It does seem wonderfully Scottish. Tenacious and pokey. But with a surprisingly pretty and delicate colour when in bloom!

Oooh, that's a lot of lovely travel to look forward to!

[nanila]

Yes! Some of it is booked, but some of it urgently needs attending to...

kitty!

where is this 366 meme thing? XD

[nanila]

Tuxie cat love. <3

I cannot remember where I found it. I'll post the whole thing under access lock behind a cut so it can be copied.

[worlds_of_smoke]

yay! :D I'll have to do it next year, since I'm still doing the 365 one for this year. XD Maybe I'll pull the Feb 29th question from that list for this year.

Keeping your catnip toy under control is exhausting. Good work Telstar!

[nanila]

Yes, it does always seem to be trying to escape, but he manages to stay on top of it (literally).

This is a good one.

Thanks. I've never seriously contemplated abandoning it, and I'm so glad I haven't.
