Augie photo for some serotonin.

Happy Halloween from this witch.

One year I made a bunch of Shark Monsters with costumes for a Kickstarter. One of my friends did a photo shoot of hers enjoying the New England fall. 🍂💕🧛

Augie Update: he's no longer a baby (but he's the baby). Somehow he turned into a full grown cat!
Cat asleep on a shelf at my desk looking much more innocent than he should. Cat rolling around on a rug hoping to convince a passersby to play with him. Cat sitting on top of his cat tree looking out the window looking majestic.

I would love to get to 200 backers today!

Also, if you haven't watched it, our Kickstarter video is a fake Zoom call with puppets.

So many new little pumpkin friends, getting ready for the upcoming Halloween shows!
#🎨#pottery#ceramics#halloween
A photograph showing some works in progress. They are all ceramic and handbuilt. There are about 45 small pumpkins with little animals sitting on top of them. There are bats, candy, corn, ghosts, a platypus, spiders, black cats, rats, and an avocado. Each sculpture is about 2 inches tall. All of the animals and critters are very happy, and so are the pumpkins. Perfect for Halloween! So spooky and creepy cute. Much goth.

I had a great time at Rad Fit's Deadlift and Drag event today. I really love these people.
A bunch of strong people posing for photos mostly out of frame with balloons that spell out Deadlift and Drag behind them.

I never thought I'd say this, but we're a biking family now. Just got home from a date to get donuts by bike!

Meet Augie! We adopted him last Sunday. He's a ray of sunshine in our lives. 8 lbs of sweetness and pogo sticks.
A gray and white cat walking away from me on a window ledge looking back to make sure I'm paying attention. A close up of Augie's face with his eyes closed in bliss. He's wearing his new collar and has his front paws tucked in. Augie curled in a ball, upside down, completely trusting me to hold him up. My hand is cradling his body while I lean back in a wingback chair. His tail is up by my ear.

Turns out moving is a lot of work. And our current landlord is feeling betrayed that we're moving out at the end of our lease. Just let me do this stressful thing in peace and have your feelings over there, please.

Looks like we're moving by 3/1. Signed a new lease today for a lovely cottage 3 blocks from our current place. 🎉🎉🎉

If I have to be stuck at the airport. At least it's pleasant scenery.
