Big morning for Moose, he just about lost his little two-jinglebell mind.

🧶 Sleeves! Done!
Neckline is next and I hate picking up stitches to knit sooooo best wishes to meeee.

This was the first time I've done two-at-a-time sleeves and I'm never doing them any other way.
A woman's hand holds two hand knit sleeve cuffs on an off white sweater. In the background, a black cat wearing a pink donut cone snoozes.

🧶 Okay kids I've spent tonight knitting the ish out of these sleeves. Decreases done. On track to actually finish this sweater within days. 😅
Woman's hand holds knitting needles with two nearly complete sweater sleeves on them. It's an off white sweater with black and brown tweedy bits.

I keep saying I'm going to finish this sweater I started a month ago. I have like, a quarter of each sleeve left and the neckline.
I swear I'm finishing it by Saturday night. 👀
(this is an older pic, sleeves are longer now)
An (unfinished) off white sweater hangs off of knitting needles by both sleeves, a woman's hand holds it by the needles. It's weirdly similar to how men hold up their fish they catch.

Scrolled past this and thought of @zoocoup.bsky.social because I like to think I was a star colleague. 😇
A screen grab from Instagram reads: "I love it when I stump the IT guy. Aha you thought this would be a quick ticket. Just remote in, click one button, and make me look like a fool. But alas, I have fucked things up more than you could've imagined"

May you be as unbothered this Tuesday as Ilsa is by the vacuum.

(yes, it was on and no, she cannot hear it anymore)
A cream colored cat with dark ears and nose lounges on a cream and blue runner rug while a man in orange shorts vacuums up against her with a hot pink Dyson stick vacuum. The cat is unbothered.

Actual footage of me when I realize both pairs of headphones need to be charged, the leaf blowers start up in the front yard, and I'm on my second cup of coffee.
Hi Monday!
A very overstimulated looking owl. The pupils look like dinner plates.

Hi i apparently never post, but guess what? It's Leap Day!
That's all.
Leap Day William dances on the writer's table in 30 Rock (a classic episode), passing out candy to the writing staff.

"helping" 🙄
A black cat lounges nonchalantly on red tissue paper next to a pile of wrapped gifts. He is very much in the way and on the tissue paper I need to finish wrapping gifts.

.... My fitbit thinks I was swimming instead of folding laundry.
I mean, I felt like I was swimming through a sea of laundry?
A screenshot of an auto-capture exercise from fitbit showing a 17 minute swim workout, when really, I was fighting for my life in a laundry pile.

(I love my cat I love my cat I love my cat I love my cat I love my cat)

Had this jacket 2 days before his lil brain short circuited and he thought it was a chew toy.

At least my birkenstocks match something now?
The collar and button placket of a storm-blue grey sherpa jack are gnawed on and pierced by little kitty teeth. The top two metal snaps have some paint chipped off. The collar is being held up in front of a white woman's face, she is wear blue glasses and a black face mask, her eye brows say WTF

Quasar and Moose, capable of sharing my lap but not the cat tree.
A large 20 lb ginger cat and a slightly smaller 14lb ginger cat are sprawled out on a grey blanket on a lap on a grey couch, sleeping next to each other. A large 20 lb ginger cat and a slightly smaller 14lb ginger cat are keyed up to battle it out for the top spot on the cat tree. The smaller cat is on the top perch, but not for long.

Took my babiest kitty (...oKAY she is my eldest baby) to the groomer today and STAHHHHP 🥹
Steely, slightly crossed, baby blues stare into your soul. A freshly groomed Balinese cat wearing a thanksgiving/fall themed bandana is held up for a selfie.

The view from our swim-out room for the next week. Lush greenery, a bar in the distance, cabanas across the lazy river. We have our own water loungers.

Welcome to yet another update void. These always remind me I need to clean my screen. 🙄
Once more, I am trapped in a blank Apple screen of updating. A white women takes a selfie in the reflection of the MacBook update screen. She look, s exasperated. It feels like the 3rd update in 2 weeks. Yes, she understands IT security.

Had a cat cuddle puddle while catching up on RHONY. 🥰
A cat emporium - three cats splayed out on a forest green duvet, one long haired and cream colored, one orange tabby, and one black cat. All three facing away from the camera.

Husband goes to to watch football with his dad, I do my nails and watch Love is Blind.
essie - Off Tropic
I've been doing white/neutral nails for so long I forgot how much I love these darkdarkdark shades.
A white woman's (very pale) hand is in a loose fist to show off a home manicure.nails are painted with Essie's color Off Tropic, a dark leafy hunter green. The background is a grey fuzzy blanket. It's fall and cozy.

On this here Caturday, I present the senior kittens. Both 12 years old. One 21.5 lbs, one 6.5 lbs. Both extremely snuggly and cute.
Foreground: a fluffy cream cat is propped on a woman's legs in grey sweats on a grey couch (yes, lots of Grey). On the other leg, an embroidery hoop is resting on her knee. Just beyond, in the background, a very LORGE orange cat is flopped on his side, taking what looks like one of the best naps of his life.

I said I would finish this over the weekend and I did. Those fern leaves took what felt like forever.
An embroidery hoop from cozy blue stitch club. Two fern leaves sweep up form either side of the bottom, a sprinkle of light pink stars in the center of the bottom, and between the leaves at the top center is an upside down crescent moon with floral details and a sun in the middle of it. French knots decoratively stud the negative space. The background is an inky blue black.

In Caturday news:
We are now a two orange cat household. Quasar is much older and wiser than Moose - the perpetually worried-looking one - but it does not mean he has outgrown shenanigans.

If anyone is counting, this is 50% of our cat population.
Two orange cats sit under an antique dining room table. The VERY LORGE one is loafed on the floor, just beyond the decorative pieces cross-bars of the table. The baby (okay, he's like just over a year) is cat loafed on a purple Rubbermaid bin behind him. They are sharing sunshine. It is worth noting the ancient table tables have been destroyed/clawed by a previous orange cat.

Real bummed, I wanted a rosé but had to take a pain pill instead 🥲

Just gonna keep doin' this I guess
An embroidery hoop featuring two fern leaves, a crescent moon, and a lot of stars, all set on a dark fabric. It's from a stitch club... Last summer. I'm extremely back logged.

I have to update the branding on an internal presentation and let me tell you, my brain finds this extremely dull and boring. I swear I update one slide and then there's still the same number of slides to update.
Tribbles. Everywhere.

Happy Friday from the void of an OS update.
A woman's reflection in the black apple restart screen: she's holding a phone to take the picture, slumped to one side, head in her hand, looking unenthused.

Okay, I absolutely had a freakin blast seeing Jimmy Eat World last night.
Tonight though, I am laying in bed with pain meds because my body can't hang. 😅
Jimmy Eat World frontman Jim Adkin sings during the final song of their set (The Middle) during a Chicago concert. He's wearing all black, has a white guitar, one hand on the mic, and is back light with red lighting. The photo is taken mid-front of the crowd, there are silhouettes of concert-goers and a fist in the air.
