It brings me peace knowing you are near

Too much of today was taken up with virtual doctor's appointments, but they went well, which is what I want. We made a steak with black-eyed peas for dinner. Eventually I will be able to do something with my brain again.

Autolycus looks so involved! I kept thinking that I saw Hestia nestling around somewhere, but it's just the black figures on the blanket.
Ninja watched an episode of "Hinterland" with David and me last night. When he had had enough belly pets he put both hind paws in the palm of my hand and pushed, but when I took my hand away altogether he corralled it again. I had changed from a petter to a footwarmer, apparently.

Thank you!

She was curled up on her little electric mat, which is plugged in by the plastered-over grate that used to be a fireplace and is her preferred spot in the winter (unless she's under the covers of the bed, in her seasonal camouflage as the North American Lump Cat). Autolycus is actually on my lap as we speak, which is a little difficult since the way he's trying to fit himslf into my arms interferes unsurprisingly with my typing.

Autolycus often likes to have his feet against one of our hands when being held! We think it's a skin-to-skin thing, or maybe just the knowledge of secure footing even when he's on his back like a little otter.
