Quite possibly the most visibly apparent northern lights I have ever seen — from my well lit neighborhood in a very light polluted metro area.

Will I go back to work soon? Maybe. When I do I will mourn my furlough naps. I don’t usually wear my watch overnight, so my health data is now made of naps.

Getting on StoryGraph has really reignited my interest in reading for leisure. The recommendations plus data viz are just what I need. I’ve head half of these books just this month (thanks government shutdown). If you’re on StoryGraph, find me (same handle). I want to be nosy about your reading. 📖

Furlough activity 80% finished… I have learned I am a speed-run Lego person. Forcing myself to stop to have at least one more day on this one.

Finally made it to Don’t Stress Meowt in OKC. It was everything I dreamed of. I took precisely zero photos in the cat lounge—I was too busy snuggling cats. Enjoy these views from the cafe portion. Look closely for Mr. Pancakes in his hairless glory.

A weird day. Started the morning at the National Weather Center talking to Gov. Stitt. Finished it at @uncannyarthouse.bsky.social watching a sketch show set in the National Weather Center.
Loved the show! Therapeutic to laugh at the state of things and enjoy art made by locals.

Sasha dog found the tiniest turtle in the yard. I reduced him from being tossed across the yard like a ball. He had not come out to say thank you.

Happy international cat day! Margo, the cat who is mostly a dog, and Arlene, the tortoiseshell terror, are absolutely deserving of this day.

While we were out of town this week this derp got herself skunked. Many products, baths, and a professional groom later, you can see she’s really losing sleep over it. 🦨

The amount of time I just spent searching for this photo means I don’t remember what I was going to say about it.

Everything is awful, which is not new information, but more people seem to have noticed it.
I have nothing to offer on that topic so here is a portrait-mode masterpiece a friend’s toddler captured a couple weeks ago from her car seat (my camera roll is full of Buzz Lightyear).

Sasha is also here. She is eating fallen mulberries. But refusing to be caught on camera. Enjoy this perspective of the clouds.
