Tactile and clacky

Interior detail, New Chez Random

    I first heard the term "pet food topper" last week. Apparently many people add something more enticing or flavorful on top of the regular dog or cat food in order to get their pets more interested in eating...? We've never had that problem. I am hounded multiple times a day, particularly by one feline (Fleur), for food, and it is very rare that any of the cats are uninterested in gobbling down their food allotments. But they do get a pet food topper, of sorts. And it has solved a major issue for at least one feline (Griffin): stool softener. I shall say no more.
    Okay, that was the only item at the top of my blogging brain this morning. I'm still enjoying my Astrohaus Freewrite Alpha focused writing device. So barebones but so expensive. I continue to question the "wisdom" of purchasing it. As if wisdom were really a relevant term for an impulsive hobby purchase hahaha. But I am sitting here in the early morning dimness, tapping out a blog entry onto a backlit small screen, and I can't check my Facebook or the stupid headlines or the stock market—which I'd be doing were I writing on a laptop computer. The keyboard is very satisfyingly tactile and clacky, an important feature for many of us writers. I have one job right now. This typer forces me to do it just by its simple mute nature.
