Another long day, which started at 5:30 when the power went out. See, a few months back, we lost an entire freezer full of food when we didn’t realize that we had an outlet go bad. So, to make sure that didn’t ever happen again, Kevin put an alarm on that plug, so that we
Long day today, so all I have energy for is this. I really want to talk tattoos, but that may wait till Friday. Anyway— If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be? If I could have just one superpower, I think it might be the ability to talk to animals.
I had a post blow up on Bluesky this week. Not like, a million views or anything, but for someone with only 3000- followers, to post something and have it reposted almost 100 times with460 likes (as of right now)…well, that seems like a lot. And I talked to Kevin about the fact that even

Long day. Three tattoos, which I’ll share the story of once they heal and I can get good pictures. But… Where can you reduce clutter in your life? Oh man. Pretty much everywhere. Nah, that’s not true. It used to be. I lived the first…54 years of my life in a state of barely-controlled chaos.
Today’s post started as so many have in January, with one of them fancy fauxanuary prompts: In what ways do you communicate online? First, I have to admit that I was happy that this was such an easy and direct question. I’m in the middle of the latest Louise Penny Armand Gamache book and except
What is your favorite animal? First, I just like animals. All of ‘em. I like sloths and I like monkeys and I like turtles. But I think that there is something special about Dogs and Cats. And I have had both, two dogs in my life and seven or a hundred c ants (it’s hard
