Creme Fraiche the cat doesn't really eat breakfast (which is problematic because he will get sick if he doesn't), so we've begun bribing him with TV time. This morning's selection is The Lion King, which he has seen no fewer than six times in the last four months.

Had to do a pool rescue again this morning. We do have a float for wildlife to land on and exit on their own, but I think this little guy was too small to get onto the float, so I’ll have to do some research on stuff that works for even teeny tiny critters.

Okay so frosting things is NOT my strongest skill but this Bundt cake turned out SO tasty.

Always fun to hear @yesimhotinthis.bsky.social talk. She’s so funny and I can tell that the kids here are getting so much from her talk.

Back to say “Devil’s Due” was an absolute delight. So fun!!
TNG watch update. So far, “future imperfect” and “menage a troi” are among my favorites (although we just started “Data’s day” and this is an episode I’ve heard a lot of good things about)

Watching more TNG and I just noticed Picard has a real fish in his fish tank and that was a really exciting discovery. 🐠

This is Créme Fraîche. He is obsessed with watching TV, especially Sesame Street. Unfortunately, he is not allowed to watch Sesame Street unless he eats breakfast first. This may seem like an evil rule but he literally *will not eat* if the TV is on because he wants to watch TV instead.

I'm going to try to type up the recipe later today for this in a more serious format than the way I took notes for myself, in case anyone wants it.

I made an utterly ridiculous dessert this afternoon and I finally get to take it out of the fridge (and post pictures!) once this episode of TNG is over.

My eldest had the nerdiest possible costume. She was a character from a comic *within* a comic. Or technically as a character from a comic cosplaying a character that only exists in the comic world.
So yeah, here's my eldest as Gabby as Navigator Nozomi from @jeremywhitley.bsky.social's comic.
