I’m rarely in the office any more and my friends are good about staying home when sick, so the only time I am exposed to colds these days is at conferences and workshops. That seems to mean I’m doomed to get a cold at every conference I attend, every time.

I don’t listen to much music but yes, the new Florence and the Machine album is living up to the hype.

I spent some time trimming our hedge this afternoon and my shoulders are really feeling it. Usually I pay someone to do the gardening and then spend my own time lifting dumbbells. It doesn’t really make sense, does it?

This is Catrick. This is how he likes to sit on my lap — head tucked under.

I’m starting HRT on Monday. I’m very hopeful that it will improve my sleep and focus, neither of which have been good lately.

Reading two good books at the moment. “Shadow and Betrayal” as an ebook and “House of Suns” as an audiobook.

Bluesky has apparently decided I want to see dick pics today. Is that because of the tentacle sculpture by the sea from my last post? Have blocked the dick pic accounts and upvoted some more kitten pic and otter pic accounts.
