My cat has been upstairs all day. I finally get a chance to sit down and he’s suddenly on my lap. He ignored me all day. I don’t think he was even downstairs when I sat down. How does he know?

Zero cats were needed in the assembly of this drawer and yet here we are. I put the wheels on the four drawers and he was lying on the bed like this the whole time. Complete trust that I wouldn’t squish him. Once I thought i had bothered him, but no he just needed a quick clean. 😂

So apparently Apple weather is not reporting accurate air quality for my area. It says it’s at a 2, but there is an air quality warning. I’ve checked other websites and they say it’s moderate air pollution at best.

Getting rid of most of my old Writer’s Digest books. Most of these I’m not going to read and many of them have outdated information in them anyway. I mean publishing in 1992 is different than it is now. I got most of these as library discards. Still I think I’ll give them to a thrift store.

I didn’t know how much I could fit in my box. Only have the stacks to the right now to deal with. I have a lot of room in my filing box. Didn’t even fill it halfway!

Clearing out a lot of stuff from my office. This is what’s left of my drawer. It was filled to the brim. Going to move some of these to my portable filling box. Drawer is approximately 32” length, 12” height and 16” width so it’s pretty big. I wish this was the bulk of the work but sadly it’s not.

Large drawer partially filled with folders, papers, envelopes and spiral bound art pads.

My poor kitty is a big cat. Not fat — just really big. It makes it hard for him to get a good lap to sit on. I have to cross my legs for him to have enough space. I’m 5’10” and often he’s hanging on for dear life because there isn’t enough room on my lap.

Every single time I talk to him when he’s in the bathroom window he whines at me like I’m going to forcibly remove him. The window does get shut when it’s cold out but never when he’s in the window. Still he gives me this pitiful look and meows like I’m going to be mean.

That time my spouse was really supportive about He-Man.

Me in a message to my spouse: July 23
Him: That’s a Friday so I’ll be home.
Him: Kids will be out of school too.
Him: We'll all be there to support you
Me: That's the date that He-Man comes out on Netflix, but ok.

On episode 4004 of Why Does My Cat Do That: We ask ourselves why our cat insists on lying down on the edge of the bed. No seriously, why does he do that? Every single time he comes close to falling off the side of the bed. After a brush with death, he’s lying closer to me getting all the pets.

My car just said he’s not moving from this window. It’s his. How dare I imply he’s to move. I swear all I did was look at him. No one told him to move.

He flipped and continued to purr, obvious to the fact that I was keeping him from falling off the bed.

This cat is something else. Lying next to me and purring like nothing happened earlier today. He sat in my lap acting like he really wanted pets. The whole time I was petting him he was eyeing up my cupboard. The second I had my kid close it, he jumped down and tried to get inside.

Finished weaving in the ends on this scarf today. It’s a present for a friend. I found two types of wool to make this. Sadly, I have to give it to my friend. Well not so sad because I don’t think I could wear it anyway, but I do love it so much!

I’m working on this new crochet project for my 9 year old. He wants the potato from Plants vs Zombies. I keep telling myself “trust the process”. Trouble is I’m making this up as I go along and I’m not sure trusting the process counts in this situation. Oh well at least it looks somewhat potatoey.

I wish I could donate more myself. If you have some extra money please donate www.gofundme.com/f/help-peppe...
