Getting back into exercising and today was a glorious morning and only 65 deg F. Walked along the river and saw this fellow napping.

Crocheted most of this last year but gave myself tennis elbow doing it. Finished it a month ago and finally got to wear it!

We got a message from the cats this morning, but I’m not sure what it means.

A litter box with three long, parallel, poops slightly off shifted from each other.

Feeling kind of Jewish, having Asian food for dinner on a Christian holiday. It was delicious! @kellydmcc.bsky.social had pork dumplings and udon noodles. He _may_ have been immersed for the last two weeks in AC Shadows and thereby Japanese food.

And just finished this 750 piece. The 3-foot-long puzzles need to be done in two parts to fit on my puzzle table.

This one was weird. Many, many “border” pieces and 16 corner pieces. Kind of fun, kind of frustrating.

This one was a murder mystery jigsaw. I thought I didn’t have the storybook so I assembled it imagining what the mystery would be. I am pretty pleased that I figured out the main clue without the story! I found the storybook after taking the puzzle apart.

<headdesk> Conversions: how do they even work?! So it started in Imperial units and then they converted (poorly) to metric and now I am converting back. NB: 113 ml is about 4 oz and 3785 is about 16 cups.

Hey Sconnies—get your butt out there and vote! State Superintendent is the only thing on the ballot; so easy it takes 30 seconds to fill in the bubble. I was voter #2 at 7:05 this morning, in -23 deg F. Do your part!

The cats would like management to know that there is only one warm place in the house. Please to be fixing, thumb-monkeys!

I got something in the mail to cheer me up! An anonymous nomination as a Stout Standout. “Thank you for being such a wonderful instructor and finding inspiring ways to engage your students with their learning!”

Feels like frozen hell out there at -13F. I am going to work from home while poor Kelly has to go to his usual Monday meeting. He is NOT biking today! Have a Jeeves break.
