Caturday with Billie the Kat

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is another Saturday or should I say Caturday here in Seattle. I do not have anything planned for today as I am still on sensory overload from Emerald City Comic Con and haven’t had any down time from people in two weeks. My plan for today to read and cuddle with my cat, Billie. Hopefully, I will be able to finish Starter Villain by John Scalzi. If I do finish it today, I will write a book review of it tomorrow.

Now, I am going to show some pictures of Billie.

Billie just staring off in space and wondering why I stopped petting him.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie as I read and avoid being around people today. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Thursday Morning Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I didn’t sleep very well last night. Part of it was due to insomnia and the other part was due to PTSD. In my opinion having both insomnia and PTSD suck shit. Since I was not able to sleep very well last night, I decided to read. I am reading Starter Villain by John Scalzi. I am really enjoying the book, and I am hoping to finish it soon as there are some books I bought at Emerald City Comic Con that I bought that I really want to read. At least reading helps me not focus so much on my PTSD symptoms.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie before I get ready for work.

Wednesday Morning Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I’m looking forward to today. In fact, today has already been a good day. I was able to sleep in which is amazing especially since sleep is challenging for me most of the time. When I woke up this morning, I cuddled with my cat, Billie which is always relaxing and calming for me. I also read a few chapters in the fantasy book that I am reading. As far as what the rest of my Wednesday looks like I am looking forward to it.

The thing that I am looking forward to most today is going to volunteer at PAWS Cat City in a couple of hours. I always love when I am able to volunteer at PAWS Cat City. The other thing I am looking forward to is when I get home is do some artwork. I’m not sure if I will be doing diamond art/painting or coloring or both. I also plan on reading. I most likely will read the horror book I am reading as I have already read a few chapters of the fantasy book that I am reading.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie before I get ready to go volunteer at PAWS Cat City.

2nd Day of Emerald City Comic Con in the Books

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! The second day of Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC) is in the books. I had a great day and wish to share it with you along with some pictures I took. First off, I bought two books to get signed which I did. The first thing after buying more books was attend a friendship bracelet making activity in the pride room which I have picture of. I went to multiple panels and two autograph sessions after two of the panels I attended. One of the panels I went to was called “Not-so-Accurate Histories Filled with Fairies, Magic and More” which was about history and fantasy type stuff along with world building. It had authors of books on panel and went to the post book signing event. My other favorite panel was called “The Many Faces of Horror” as well as the book signing for it afterwords as the panel was authors. I love horror.

I will now post picture of the second day of comic con. I will put in a caption my site impaired readers as they have adaptive devices to help them read what is said.

Up Way Too Late Reading

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I am up way too late due to reading. I am currently reading a stand-alone book called Starter Villian by John Scalzi. It is about a man who inherits a supervillain business from his long-lost uncle. I am really enjoying the book. I am also trying to finish it as I want to read the fantasy trilogy my best friend gave me as well the two books I bought at Emerald City Comic Con yesterday. The two books I bought yesterday are the first two books in a series. All the books I mentioned are either science fiction or fantasy. I really enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy genre books.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is now time for me to actually go to bed so I can wake up to go to Emerald City Comic Con. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog.

Up Way Too Early, Again

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is three fifty-one in the morning here in Seattle and I have been awake since around three o’clock in the morning. I wish I did not wake up this early, but I did. I ended up starting my period during the night when I was sleeping which sucks. To make matters worse my cramps are worse than normal. I am sure you the reader don’t want to hear about my period, so I am going to change the subject.

As much as I wish I could fast asleep this early in the morning on a Sunday, I am happy that my cat, Billie is so cuddly. As I cuddle with my cat, Billie, I have been reading. I have been reading a book that is in the dark fantasy and queer genres. In fact, I am reading a really good book series known as Fire & Brimstone by Nikole Knight. I am on the third book of this series, and I am grateful that I found this series as it is really good. It is a six-book series.

Daily Prompt; What Do You Enjoy Doing Most In Your Leisure Time?

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?
View all responses

I really enjoy doing a lot of things in my leisure time but if I have to choose it would be a tie between reading books and reading as well as collecting comic books. Specifically, I collect Wonder Woman comic books. I really enjoy the community of those who collect comic books as we are a unique set of people. The type of books I like to read are fantasy books but I also enjoy science fiction. It appears that folks who enjoy reading fantasy and science fiction books also like comic books which is why I think I enjoy the comic book community.

Just Another Post

Posted on by Gertie

Hello, World!!! I don’t know how to feel right now. Depression is hitting me hard tonight but at least I got some sleep in earlier. Even though I only got about four hours of sleep I am grateful for the much needed sleep as I was tired. Hell, I am still tired which is why I am probably slightly depressed.

Depression sucks but at least I know how to help myself. One of the things I have been doing is some step work. Specifically, I am working on step one. I really like the fact that the twelve step program I am in has its own twelve step work book. My sponsor is willing to go at my own pace working on the steps as she knows how challenging doing the steps can be.

Since the steps can be hard to do, I’ve done some self care. One of the forms of self care that I have done is to read. I have decided to switch books to read. I am now reading Abraham Lincoln; Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. So far the book is good but I am only thirty pages into the book.

I also have been doing art work. Specifically, I have been coloring. I have been coloring to some music. As I color I have been listening to my childhood memories playlist on Spotify. I love being able to color as I listen to music.

I do not have much more to talk about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be writing my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

So Far It Has Been A Good Saturday

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! So far it has been a good Saturday. It has been quite relaxing. I woke up feeling refreshed and eager to start another day. A day to relax and really do nothing but spend time with my cat, Billie Dean. Billie is a good kitty and I love hi to the moon and back.

I got up and took a shower. After my shower I made myself breakfast. Something I really haven’t done in quite some time. I made French toast and scrambled eggs with chocolate milk. I really enjoyed my breakfast. I had enough left over to give to a neighbor who was extremely “grateful for the breakfast.” I am always glad to be able to give when I am able to.

After breakfast, I decided to read for a while. I am reading Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb. It is a great book and I hope to be able to give some form of book review when I am further into the book. I am also planning on giving you a book review when I am actually finished with the book. As I read, my cat Billie of course slept in my lap and a happy camper doing so.

After reading for about an hour, I decided to do some artwork. Specifically, the type of art I am doing is coloring. I am coloring a giant poster. A poster I hope to give to my mom when I am finished with it. As I colored, I listened to a podcast about philosophy. Specifically, I am listening to Philosophize This. I really enjoy doing art as I listen to a podcast.

Of course, I decided to go for a walk after doing some artwork by coloring a giant poster. As I took my thirty minute walk I continued to listen to the podcast, Philosophize This. At the end of my walk, I went to Subway and bought me a foot long sub sandwich.

When I got home from my walk and got my Subway sandwich, I ate half my sandwich. I am saving the other half for dinner. I then read another chapter of the book I am reading. Now I am writing this particular blog post. I think I am going to color some more after I am done writing the blog post.

I do not have much more to say in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things, that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be writing my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Television Not Working; Time to Read

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! My television stopped working and not sure why. That means I get to catch up on some reading. I’m hoping my uncle or grandpa can help me with my television as I like to watch the news. I like to know what is going on in the world.

Granted the news can cause some anxiety but I like to know what is going on in the world. Despite the news being depressing, I think I will read a book. I have two choose books to choose from and i think I am going to read the singleton book ss the the other three books are a serious of books.

Another think I am going to to do is listen to a podcast about philosophy. I learn a great deal from philosophy. I listen to it by podcast. I’m glad I’m learning stuff about different subjects.

I think I need to go now. i am getting tired from my med. Thank you for reading my blog. Peace Out World!!!
