My Emu Is Emo

California’s Central Valley. Sometimes I tell stories. She/her.
Carol's grandparents have taken over her dining table to make protest signs. They very much want Chuck Schumer "out" as Senate Minority Leader, due to his lack of backbone. Thus the slogan: "Schumer is not fit to lead / Sells us out to watch us bleed."

I found a rare photo of Parsley's likely kitty-daddy (right, the short-haired cat), and yep, they really do look alike. They have the same passive resistance to being carried, same fur texture, and same obsession with reflections. We never figured out Mr Smiley's origins or home.

Your friend looks just like the Official Spokescat!

The Official Spokescat is annoyed that I keep showing him my feed and exclaiming “here’s a cat who looks just like you!”

In my defense, there are a lot of brown fluffy tabbies out there.

It’s still morning here in California, so one last chance to admire lavish #halloween displays. #skeletons

Spotting this car in traffic was an A-Ha moment.

(We’re both stopped at a long light.)

This is the face of a cat who’s been begging nonstop for din-din since an hour after breakfast. Now that it’s his correct feeding time, I almost don’t want to encourage his belief that his begging is what gets him fed.

Sally inspects progress on the kitchen of the Skinny House. Since she’s a museum curator, each room represents a different era of Dutch art. Kitchen is Renaissance. #secretlifeoftoys #dollhouse #skinnyhouse

Parsley in her pillow fort. Guys are here to fix the HVAC, so the little cat needs a defensible position.

Parsley and her Unka Spokescat have achieved the milestone of lounging with physical contact! (Parsley is a very self-contained cat, when she isn’t racing through the house at 74 mph.)

Miss Parsley Parsnippagus wants you to know that demanding treats is called “entreating.”

Miss Parsley Parsnippagus from Parsippany is being lured into cuddling by her Unka Spokescat. Another few days, and we may see physical contact.

Miss Parsley Parsnippagus from Parsippany has decided she can come to bed with me, as long as no one expects her to cuddle.
(It’s #caturday somewhere by now.)

Thanks to Carol's rented panel truck, the girls clean out Giuseppe's supply of giant organic pumpkins!

At what’s probably the end of Day 3, the Skinny House has decent exterior paint, first coat of trim paint, and most of its interior paint done (but needing touch-ups). Tomorrow afternoon’s goal is to finish painting.

Parsley Parsnippagus reports on what she’s seen from the window (spoiler: birds) to her Unka Spokescat.

In the quest for pumpkins, Carol is not going to rely on the fire department. She has rented a truck.

Up to the attic to see what Halloween decor might be stored there! When Carol, Daphne, and Megan don’t find much, they decide they need MORE PUMPKINS. Off to Giuseppe’s organic farm…

This odd little dollhouse was a $3 find at the antique shop in Escalon (where I literally answered 3 riddles from the owner). The construction looks like a 1980s Duracraft kit, but I’ve never seen this house before. #dollhouse

In the cold light of morning, Daphne realizes she doesn't have room for a Halloween party at her cottage. She heads over to ask a favor of Carol, who bought her grandparents' modernist house when they retired. Happily, Megan (the group's biggest Halloween fan) is also visiting.

When bedtime rolls around, Daphne has to admit that her new nightstand is very handy. She has invited Bruce and Aureliano to a Halloween party that she hadn’t previously realized she was planning.

Bruce is already prepared with a solution to the problem that the nightstand barely holds a lamp! Aureliano is here to install a wall light. Which he does.

Bruce has brought Daphne a new bedside table! She's flustered by such a significant gift, but he swears he got it for a penny at an estate sale. Though it's a stable table, the glass top has no room for anything but a lamp...
