Haven't recuperated from the weekend yet? Me neither. Mine began with 3 hrs. at my neighbor's huge garage sale. Still, I have #Monday off to a pretty good start by baking cinnamon rolls & managing to catch a precious ray of sunshine as the first winter storm rolls down the Pacific from AK. Rain Tues

OMG! I must have died & gone to ceiling cat. YouTube gave me: 10 POWERFUL Organ Pieces On 10 INCREDIBLE Organs! youtu.be/In7g6hU9Uu4?... I adore cathedrals & pipe organ music. This makes up for all the gifts not received over the last 35 years! Such views of organists' hands & feet, stops work!

Well, maybe the cat's doing nothing, but I'm out of the care chair this #Sunday watching out for a grocery delivery and finding a time to wash dishes and do a load of laundry. I'll be like Tomas in a couple of hours! Have a happy weekend!

I'm happy to report creeping (up) success in my sporadic entries in the daily AI art challenges at NightCafe (top ones pay off in credits). This one wasn't on any particular theme, but allowed the use of a Pro model & I had a freebie to use. I am really pleased by this #Caturday kitty!

Hey, hey, hey! It's #Caturday!

Echoes of your touch, my kiss

#SCIFIFRI The doctor ruminated on the perverse trans of medicine from biology to logic gates to apps, patient touch to clinical AI. Her mandatory magnetic metallic finger extension tap-tapped the faulty trap on someone's brain-board techs would put back in place & dismiss him/her/it. ⚕️ 🤖 #scifi ?

Sometimes challenges come at us with more strength & speed than we think that we can handle.
The reality is that challenges are always coming at us & some are just
easier to see than others.
#Mindfulness practice teaches us
both how to see & how to handle them.

Oh, Cathy! I'm so sorry you had this terrible experience. I hope you and Penny have quick and easy healing. 💗

If you're old and worry about forgetting, you may have read that it's because we're not learning new stuff. No, wait - that's for time passing faster, which worries me. So, I did my first AI caper today. I asked Google's Gemini to tell me the value of old dishes. Results: absolutely stunning! +💯!

After dealing with a vax reax over the weekend, my #Monday looks almost bright!

GLHancock, MS Ψ🕊 @glhancock.bsky.social · 8d

Yes, I got the Covid vax Friday a.m. and was sick like the regular flu all day Saturday, but arm barely hurt. Sounds like you had an allergic reaction to your Covid shot. I had that with the only time I let them give me the "super" flu shot for old folks. Never again!
