For this Caturday, my dad's fat girl is enjoying her new bed.

Oh look, it's an upcoming Exosphere feature!

I've refactored the filtering and expanded it to allow for this, to have shared logic between CLI and TUI and so this is just going to be a thing in 2.5.0.

"inventory status" has also grown a "--sort" option, which has arguments that of course can be tab completed in the REPL because I'm not a monster.

I don't know why I didn't put that in from day one, honestly.

I'm possibly being E X T R A about basic things again, but turns out I quite enjoy making nice TUIs.

The Convalescent Old Man is relaxing, just in time for Caturday

You know, I might actually be decent at this TUI thing.

I spent over a week cobbling together a Qt GUI with Pyside6, QML and QtQuick, and while it was nice at first, I hit so much friction with the stupid toolkit, needing to wrangle my nice data classes back and forth with thin adapters to wrap thinly veiled C++ types and I hated it so much I ripped it all out in a blind rage, and returned to Textual, where this WIP UI for my new secret projet took shape in about 3 evenings, and looks absolutely banging.

Went to visit my cat at the animal hospital today and they book you a private room and do stuff like this, which is super human and comforting.

It's a good place, honestly

He is NOT a super cuddly cat at the best of times, more of a "I will sit very close to you no matter where you are" guy, so after having been touched and picked up by a bunch of people he doesn't like very much, he was kind of full of anxiety, but he calmed down when I picked him up like I do whenever I show him stuff he's never seen around the house, like light switches.

He looks healthier, and has gained weight, which is pretty good. Vet said his Creatinine levels are dropping significantly, which is News of the Optimistic Kind. They're keeping him at least one more day.
