A Chewie Check-In
Posted in Science!, tagged #365Ways, #365Ways2024, cat herding, cats, health, Thoughts on March 26, 2024| Leave a Comment »
Chewbacca, Prince of Cats, continues to be lovely. He also continues to weigh almost exactly what he did when we got him, despite a year of weight loss efforts. (To be fair, he lost almost a kilo. Then he gained it back.)
Now, his weight would not be a particular issue except that the vet insists on regaling us with a long (long) list of health-related problems that extra weight will bring, so we’re doing our best.
Which brings me to today’s charming bit of ephemera, a handy chart of weights in outer space.
Bad news: the cat weighs over 16 pounds on Earth.
Good news: That’s not nearly as much as he would weigh on Jupiter, where he’d clock in around 42 pounds.
And the Lunar economy must be swimming in Moonzempic because Chewie would weigh a sparse two and a half pounds there. (Kidding! It’s a gravity thing, not a weight-loss tourism thing.)
Sadly, until we pack up and decamp for the Moon, our kitty weight odyssey continues!

On a Bit of a Tear

This isn’t something I would normally say, but I think I’m reading a little too much.
I’ve been on a bit of a tear, rereading some of my favorite stories. I’ve just finished to the tenth book plus spinoffs in one series, and I think I need to slow down after this.
It’s cutting into my writing time.

Use What You’ve Got

Procrastination can get in anyone’s way but I’ve also noticed creative people in particular can get all caught up in their messy feelings about their work and whether or not the conditions are right for them to channel their muse. If working in journalism has taught me anything it’s that there is no “right” time and there are no “right” conditions; there is the time you have. You use the materials you’ve got. And the first precondition of getting anything done at all is trying to do it.

I Try

As usual, Tuesdays are not 100% fun here at Chez J but that’s fine. I still hope that your day is a good one.
Being in a bad mood is not a license to be unkind. Being sensitive is not an excuse for being abusive.
Respect is a social responsibility. Treating it as optional reveals a lack of concern for others.
A mark of character is maintaining civility when things don’t go your way.
— Adam Grant
