I'm a little behind on posting my photos-of-the-day on Flickr (I'm only posting the most noteworthy ones here) for two reasons. One is that I started a new part-time job in the photography studio of a friend - it's only two days a week and something I'm doing alongside my usual web development work, but it's a lot of fun. However, it's also tiring and somehow has really cut into my online time. The second reason is that poor Peaches is sick again. She hasn't used the kitty litter for anything other than pee in about a week. I took her to the vet on Tuesday because she was acting weird too, very clingy, and the vet gave her laxatives. It hasn't helped though, and I'm bringing her in tomorrow, possibly for more drastic measures like an enema. We're not sure what caused this - though the vet has diagnosed her with Pica (she eats stuff she's not supposed to, like kitty litter and plastic) and it's possible she ate something that she can't pass. It's also possible this is related to worms again, which she had badly as a kitten. They might be back and causing havoc here...I hope to know more tomorrow. Poor Peaches. She was positively shaking in my arms on Tuesday at the vets. :(

So far so good! I'm on day 14 now, and so far I have still taken a photo for Project 365 every single day, and uploaded it either the same or the next day. :D Today's just cracked me up though:

I didn't do anything special today, so I decided to take a photo of this Christmas present. It's a fairy jewelry box - you can lift the fairy off the base to store stuff like rings or earrings in it. Totally beautiful, and I really love it.

I was setting up to shoot - got a pink shirt as a background cloth, positioned it in front of the window, and was getting my camera ready when Misty jumped up onto the desk and decided to see if the fairy was tasty - CHOMP! I just pressed the camera button quickly, and voila.

I still took some proper photos of the fairy, but this one keeps making me giggle. :P

This is one of my mom's favorite spots. Here you go mom, all snowy and white! She and I stood here only 8 weeks ago, watching the sun set over green fields.

The first snow of the winter, and for the kittens, the first snow in their lives!! Both were fascinated by it and kept pawing at the window so much, Alison and I took them downstairs and left the door open for a bit so they could have a look. Misty watched from a distance, but Peaches ventured outside into the snow, and ended up one very cold and wet kitten! I think she enjoyed it though - so many moving things to paw at LOL!

It snowed all afternoon, and it's still snowing now. In one afternoon it snowed more that I have seen here other years - I can't believe how much snow on the ground there is right now! I'm gonna set my alarm for 8AM tomorrow morning and if it's still there, will go on an early walk to enjoy it while I can. It doesn't snow this much in Ireland very often!
