I don't like raccoons. The fmc in one of my books feels the same way, so when they invade her kitchen, she spends the night in the house of her childhood sweetheart.

I'm drawing every day but mostly for projects that are in progress so I'll probably use this year's #ArtAdventCalendar event to look back at my favorite drawings I did this year, starting with this one! I had the idea of the outline of a white cat against a garden and it slowly evolved into this.

Seeing Greg Vaughn on #Days makes me ponder the @tgkpod.bsky.social crew's theory that he might be Martin's primary challenger on #BeyondTheGates ... but instead of the new actress being his wife, maybe he's a widower and she's his daughter? 🤔

You can search Duane's name and see the panel he made. And someone else made a panel for him, too.

Jingle Socks were donned, which means this year’s new ornaments are on the tree. Every year this is my favourite tradition—and every year I ask: if you do a Christmas tree, do you theme your tree or do you have a nostalgia tree?

Literal jingle-socks. Yesterday I donned my jingle-socks, and alongside my husband and our husky, Max, we put up the tree. Max actually wanted nothing to do with it and wandered off to the kitchen …

laurel is correct, these are the best socks. I buy one pair a year (look there's only so much sock budget) and I can't tell which ones I bought 4 years ago and which ones I bought last week in terms of wear.
I've become a fan of Darn Tough socks and hey, here's a link for 10% off that should work: prz.io/x8Dg44VCm
Would make great gifts, obviously, for people who appreciate quality warm socks with a lifetime warranty.
Some of the socks in my small collection.
