@enbee Here they are! The cat’s cushion is about half as long as my thumb.  
The mouse usually sits in the basket with the dog for warmth. 🙂 I’ve had them since I was a small child so I’m quite fond of them.

1. I beat the new extreme fight in FFXIV, before going with the static! So I was able to get a new weapon and shield for my Paladin (with the static, I’d only be allowed to get a weapon for my Sage). Also, I felt kinda brave for going in without the usual group – normally I find that too intimidating.
2. I’ve felt more like reading this weekend than I have for a while, so I’ve managed to spend some time reading.
3. The weather was nice today for my walk with my childhood bestie.
