SPOON: Borgia gets a door
[A vintage, eight-paned window, the frame painted green, leans against a pallet; behind it is an equally vintage window screen the same size.] Also a window, but that’s going in later.

cats: Tom about town
[Major Tom, a big grey tabby, is hunkered up in Tyrava’s doorway, looking outside. Past him, on the ground, is the framed-out floor I’ve been mostly not working on.] Okay, he hasn’t actually been around town at all, because mostly all we do in town is shopping trips, & he’s not really into those.

cats: I SWEAR he does things other than sleep
[Loiosh is curled up on my bed, head tucked into the lap of a toy orange cat.] He won’t admit it, but he really does like his little Jorts toy. He’s been spending a lot of his days outside — fear not, the nearest road is half a mile away, the nearest people not much

SPOON: finally a container!
[Seen across a mostly-barren field, a big grey pickup truck is towing a really big trailer with a forty foot long, mustard yellow container on it.] … okay, it actually showed up weeks ago, but I’ve been SO BUSY just trying to 1) build a house, 2) shove stuff into the container in a way

SPOON: starting to build!
[Two folding tables are set up, end to end, along Tyrava’s long side; they hold a single board and a scattering of tools. There’s also a couple of rusty folding chairs, a dog crate with a cat crate inside, a covered litterbox with a cardboard box and a gallon of water on top, and an

SPOON: making room
[To the left, a big passenger van, slightly beat up, pale tan or grey, depending on the light. To the right, Tyrava, a smallish tiny house or largish vardo, painted lavender with dark purple trim.] So what with one thing & another … we haven’t gotten a lot done, even now that we’re on the

SPOON: on the land
[Flat land, sparsely covered in brown tumbleweeds, leads up to rugged, snowy mountain peaks.] ‘Through dangers untold, and hardships unnumbered …’ … okay, no, but we _did_ manage to get the van stuck within a hundred feet of our borders, & by ‘we’ I mean ‘I’, & it took us four days to get it

cats: Tom’s favorite basket edition
[Major Tom, a big grey tabby, is curled up on his side in a rectangular forest green basket. His paws are tucked up in front of him and his belly is pale tan. Lining fabric from a jacket, deep maroon, spills over the edge of the basket; Tom has his head resting on it.] Tom
