Saturday morning. 7 am.

I said I was gonna sleep in but then I remembered *I'm* the one responsible for unclogging my laundry line.

Time to learn something.

I've been struggling to recover from the flu for a week and a half.

Dan hasn't left my side. He has stayed in bed with me, curled up against my legs every single day and night.

I love him so much.

Someone is having an awful Wednesday morning.

I am bald and winter is cold.

You know what else is cold? The way this one bird treated this other bird at my feeder yesterday.

It was a great reminder of the cruelty of nature & the importance of cleaning your windows. 😭

It's a beautiful day for some inspections.

Last day of 2023 and I'm doing all the things I love; watching birds with the cats, playing video games in bed while cats keep me company, etc.

I love that I am at a stage of my life where half the pictures on my dating profile are me without makeup on.

And also that my phone's gallery contains thousands of cat photos, including this one I took a few minutes ago. 🥰

The entertainment has arrived.

I have applied the bird seed to the yard. Now, they wait for entertainment to arrive.

Dogsitting Ms. Emma for the next 2 weeks. She's having a relaxing day.

One more day of online classes to go.

Day 11 of classes and Sophie is feeling fine.

I, on the other hand, am excited that I only have 2 more days of this educational purgatory to go.

Last week I dumped a 3 pound bag of wildlife feed in my front yard for the squirrels.

The squirrels didn't care much, as it turned out, but today news of the feast has traveled quickly through the local bird community.

The cats are having a thrilling morning.

Friday. Day 10 of virtual class. The cats are watching squirrels. They do not care about Listeria monocytogenes, nor do they need to. I'm a little jealous.

Kitty naptime. 🥰

Sophie on a Monday morning 🥰🥰🥰

Day 6 of Inspection Methods training from my couch.

Geralt intensely focuses on the banging sounds coming from across the hall.

Such a handsome boy.

My boys are enjoying an easy morning.

My dad sent me this Avon Ferris wheel decoration back in 2001 when I was a pregnant 21 year old in my 1st apartment. I've always cherished it; it was my first holiday decoration.

He would have been 63 today.

Happy birthday Dad. I'm glad you're not hurting anymore.

Lynchburg sunset.

Dan, day 1. Came to me as a foster after his mom & 4 siblings were taken by animal control. He hid so they didn't get him. When he came out the lady who called animal control felt awful for him & called the shelter. I picked him up an hour later. He has never left my care.

Epic foster fail.

Headed to Lynchburg later today to attend a slaughter class tomorrow.

As usual, Dan is closely supervising my house cleaning and packing progress.

He's a good boy.

Obviously those lights had to go. Went to Family Dollar for new lights, got the wrong ones, went back to get the right ones and now I'm happy. Dan clearly liked it either way.

This is as good as it's gonna get this year.

Was up early this morning to set up the tree after saying I was gonna do it for the past week. Finished up and it looked like I opened a fucking Oblivion Gate in the living room. 🥴
November 26, 2023 at 6:44 PM
It's time to begin the 6 week long, annual tradition of trying to keep the cats away from the tree.

Not going well so far.

Saturday Sophie. 🥰
