Today is caturday! A celebration of our four leggeds whom we live to serve. It’s gotten so I take treats to the two sassy cats at D&D who hate everyone & flirt by giving them each two treats each. Yesterday one finally gave me a head butt of non-disdain. Wooo!!

It is such a gorgeous snow day today. We went out to celebrate my wife’s birthday with brunch & all the free birthday goodies. It’s so quiet & perfect. Few cars on the road & the servers still need to work. We are hobbits - gifting & tipping on our birthdays to celebrate our days 🎉

It’s pink and lavender!! I’ve decided to use it as an art box! Teddy said her ex used to have one almost exactly like it 😆 except it had no inside drawers (I haven’t cleaned it. But here’s the outside) I think vintage makeup ppl use the makeup for on stage props 😆😩

Mary Oliver from “Devotions”

STORAGE
When I moved from one house to another
there were many things I had no room
for. What does one do? I rented a storage
space. And filled it. Years passed.
Occasionally I went there and looked in,
but nothing happened, not a single
twinge of the heart.
As I grew older the things I cared
about grew fewer, but were more
important. So one day I undid the lock
and called the trash man. He took
everything.

Taken from my friend Mark & many others- With thanks to Emily Pearl: Wise and important words from sociologist Jennifer Walter about what is happening in this country right now and what to do about:

1/The flood of 200+ executive orders in Trump's first days exemplifies Naomi Klein's "shock doctrine" - using chaos and crisis to push through radical changes while people are too disoriented to effectively resist. This isn't just politics as usual - it's a strategic exploitation of cognitive limits.
2/ Media theorist McLuhan predicted this: When humans face information overload, they become passive and disengaged. The rapid-fire executive orders create a cognitive bottleneck, making it nearly impossible for citizens and media to thoroughly analyze any single policy.
3/ Agenda-setting theory explains the strategy: When multiple major policies compete for attention simultaneously, it fragments public discourse. Traditional media can't keep up with the pace, leading to superficial coverage.
The result? Weakened democratic oversight and reduced public engagement.
What now?
1/ Set boundaries: Pick 2-3 key issues you deeply care about and focus your attention there. You can't track everything - that's by design. Impact comes from sustained focus, not scattered awareness.
2/ Use aggregators & experts: Find trusted analysts who do the heavy lifting of synthesis. Look for those explaining patterns, not just events.
3/ Remember: Feeling overwhelmed is the point. When you recognize this, you regain some power. Take breaks. Process. This is a marathon.
4/ Practice going slow: Wait 48hrs before reacting to new policies. The urgent clouds the important. Initial reporting often misses context
5/ Build community: Share the cognitive load. Different people track different issues. Network intelligence beats individual overload.
Remember: They want you scattered. Your focus is resistance.”

If you are considering a condo - sometimes HOA’s are infuriating. The roofing company didn’t install the vents correctly. You’ve requested vents for 5 years. Each time the property manager schedules - the roofer cancels. I can’t get my own roofer yet pay fees.

Teaching my former feral how to use the treat mouse & feeding ball today. She’s not having it. She gets the idea but believes that cats should be hand fed & not work for kibble after having a hard life outside. 😆

When you adopt a senior shelter pup you know they’re going to break your heart. Our pup has been on palliative care for the last few weeks. He was our sunshine for the last few years. Last night we said goodbye to him. It was sad. He also got bacon & chocolate as a last meal. Best day ever!

I miss when Wednesday was the day when people sent pics of camels around (or sexy & silly memes) & said “you know what day it is!” We would all have a little stash of the best hump day memes saved up for our “Happy Hump day” messages. More innocent times.
