Was once again reminded of Ursula K. Le Guin's daily schedule, and why this woman was an icon on every single level.

#UrsulaKLeguin #Books #Bookstodon #book #Writing #WritingCommunity

Ursula Le Guinβ€˜s daily schedule 5:30 a.m. - wake up and lie there and think. 6:15 a.m. - get up and eat breakfast (lots). 7.15 a.m. - get to work writing, writing, writing. Noon - lunch. 1:00-3:00 p.m. - reading, music. 3:00-5:00 p.m. correspondence, maybe house cleaning. 5:00-8:00 p.m. make dinner and eat it. After 8:00 p.m. - I tend to be very stupid and we won't talk about this. This was Le Guin's daily schedule first appeared in an interview she gave in 1988 (and more recently reappeared in Ursula Le Guin: The Last Interview and Other Conversations).

@fringemagnet How did she create such brilliant books without exercising her body, going for a walk, hanging out with trees and the like?

Since the post on Ursula K. Le Guin's schedule is still getting traction, grabbing the opportunity to once again mention her blog, which she started at the age of 81, where, beyond her thoughts and her usual brilliant insight and writing, she als frequently shared many snippets and affectionate posts about her cat Pard, who, according to a recent update by the person currently maintaining her Instagram account, is now 14 and still doing well (instagram.com/p/DCsakr5yJEf/?h).

This was for a 'show me your pet and what they were named after' post on Bluesky, but since Masto is and will remain my main posting platform, sharing it here too.

So here's Carrie, named after Carrie Fisher (not Carrie Bradshaw, not Stephen King's Carrie, though the possibility of her setting everything on fire if you delay feeding her for too long isn't zero), and Tiffie, named after Tiffany Aching from Terry Pratchett's Discworld books.

Heated mouse pad (not currently plugged in) is bed now, if only I had thought to place another soft surface on the desk for her to lie on or something.

#CatsOfMastodon #cats #cat #floof #MastoCats #Catstodon

Two pictures of my calico cat Carrie curled up on top of a brown heated mouse pad, complete squashing it, on the top picture she is looking upwards while at the bottom picture she has fallen asleep in the same position.

@fringemagnet I didn't know heated mouse pads existed. Checking Amazon I also see that they now have heated mice. Where have those been all my life?!!?

I gotta respect your being able to survive on a TKL. I need my number pad, lol.

@fringemagnet A heated mouse pad does seem interesting for those cold days where I'm particularly sick...

Thx for the tip.

She still hasn't given up on protesting the new daylight savings adjusted feeding time.

Little goth marshmallow enjoying her Saturday, which she spends exactly like she spends any other day, but today involved a haddock and chicken in jelly meal, so it must be special.

My tuxedo cat Tiffie, who has distinct black markings on her nose and mouth area, making it look like she has put black lipstick on, lounging on the sofa, leaning against a stuck of purple cushions, and looking upwards with a cute and perplexed look in her face.

Tagline on new wet food brand I bought for the girls to try:
"Premium adult cat meal. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!"

Tiffie:
"I reject both your puny chicken & tuna chunks, and your hyperbolic statements."

My tuxedo cat Tiffie sitting on a brown cushion sit outside on the balcony, looking up towards the camera, her pupils barely visible as the light is directly hitting her, making the green of her eyes stand out. She has a cute but determined look on her face.

The Queen of stealth. 2024 Hide and seek world champion. 5th year undefeated.

My tuxedo cat Tiffie curled up in a loaf position next to a blue cat tunnel with yellow details. Her entire body apart from her head and her front paw is completely outside the tunnel, and while her head is mostly covered and inside the tunnel she has turned to take a little peek checking if anyone is looking at her, making the tip of her ear and a bit of her right eye also visible.

Carrie and her round, floofy cheeks wish you a great weekend.

#Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #cats #cat #floof #MastoCats #Weekend

My calico cat Carrie, a semi long hair whose fur around her head makes her face look extra round, casually lounging in the desk, her head is slightly tilted to the right and her front paw extended forward. Several potted plants are visible in the background behind her through the open balcony doors.

When you hear the sound of a can being opened in the kitchen.

#Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #cats #cat #floof #MastoCats #catstodon

My two cats, to the front my calico cat Carrie looking surprised and wide-eyed slightly leaning back and staring with curiosity with a speech bubble next to her showing an opened can of cat food. Behind her, my tuxedo cat Tiffie with a serious look on her face and a speech bubble saying : "is it the good stuff or is she cooking with red kidney beans again, because I'm getting tired of these false alarms."

Sometimes you try to take a cute sleeping picture of your cat, but you end up with a blep /wink / "stop waving a phone in my face while I am trying to nap" combo.

Close shot of my tuxedo cat Tiffie, she is looking sideways, one of her eyes is slightly closed and squished against her front paw, which is also squishing her whiskers on one side, and the tip of her tongue extends out of her mouth with one tiny fang also visible too.
