The project now which is taking the most of my emotional energy is gentling a feral cat which has had me questioning what it means when I say "I love my cat". I know he needs a better space but until I can get him neutered I have to keep him in a smaller room that he can't escape from.

I cried all the way to the bus station one morning because I was so slow to help him and it cleaned out my soul and when I got on the bus I had a "meet cute" right out of a movie.

It was the kind of event that could change the way I spend my spare time and it has reactivated my interest in image making and printing so this weekend I am scanning an old science textbook to print some cards with the Mascot character "Iggy". Here is one pic

I have a system for printing cards that have "three sides" in the sense of an image, some documentation on the back, and a QR code that points to a web site. For example

Something changed in the software and that system is in pieces on the floor, I have to put it back together so I can reprint old cards to fill out my portfolio as well as print new cards.
