Envious of a bee. I could get so much work accomplished if had this level of focus on the tasks at hand.

It’s 10:15 pm. I have several things to finish for work. I sat down with a treat intending to eat it while working as motivation/reward. Treat is all gone. Work still hasn’t been started.

I thought I’d been tossing salt over my shoulder for luck, but I realized I’ve been sprinkling this around instead.

I’m not ready for the change of seasons, but the trees are telling me that it’s inevitable.

I made cake, and meant to take a picture of my piece, but then I forgot for a while because I was distracted by eating it…

Yes. I’ve always got your back, without question. Want me to see if my attorney is free? Juries love him…

I went to the woods today and thought about how I’m actually not very tall.

A view looking straight up the trunk of a massive Douglas fir. The branches don’t start until way up a very thick trunk. Some other trees are visible high up in the frame and a blue sky can be seen behind the branches.

Pie is always a good idea. Dinnertime pie with curried carrots, garbanzo beans and peas was a really good idea.

A plate with a slice of double crusted pie on it that has filling overflowing. Filling has carrot slices, peas and garbanzo beans. There’s a pile of cooked kale on the plate as well.

Grapes for dessert. If you think i didn’t have everyone in the family score their grapes and then make the kids calculate the mode, median and mean score for each type, then 1. You don’t know me and 2. You might be missing out on fun. Big red grapes won, even though they were my least favorite.

I double checked. Author is bald, protagonist has hair.

From a book, text says “my hair is still damp”

Pain flare today. I feel like there a lot of that going around. Bringing a ziplock in the car was prescient. Home now and breaking out the strongest medicine I’ll allow myself.

We have these assholes, which can also go for the head, but they sure are pretty.

I might try to be outside to check out the lunar eclipse tonight. Here’s last night’s moon. There were bats everywhere, but they were flying too quickly to get a good photo of them.

I want to go back in time and eat this ube cream cheese yuzu cookie all over again (from a local bakery)

I like all kinds of cornbread. Savory, sweet, cheese added in, chiles, corn kernels, you name it. Tonight’s was simple and proved to be the sort that’s hard to stop eating.

Some cornbread in a glass dish with a dark speckled counter showing through. The cornbread is just slightly browned on top.

Um. My son just told the dog, “don’t smell the uranium.” Apparently he was given an old collection of rocks and pulled them out of the box and put them into a pile. Not sure about the silver lead ore, either, safety wise. 😬

Well. Time for a human shaming post. I noticed that the vet tech missed two stitches. No wonder she was bothered. I feel awful about it, but they are now out.

Her incision scab that she licked off healed for the second time. She reopened the healed skin overnight. Round 3 of the little pink suit. The clothes are giving her matted fur and I’m going to end up having to shave her armpits before this is through. This has been a dog shaming post.

Happy birthday, @porcelainmortal.bsky.social . Your big heart and big talent deserve the best of things. I hope this new year is a better one. I’m glad you were born. The world, and my world, are better for you being part of it.

When my kiddo was little they used to take my shoes out of the closet, clomp around in them, and tell me that they wanted to borrow them once they were big enough. Now my kiddo is big, and I want to borrow their shoes, but my feet are too small.

Cake! A vanilla cake with a layer of lime curd filling, a layer of lemon curd filling, a layer of both. American buttercream frosting dams to keep things in place. Covered in a whipped cream and cream cheese frosting, decorated with some cream cheese frosting and some with lemon curd mixed in.

Flashback to the time my older kid was still little and got into the car after school, then announced while we were driving down the freeway that they had put grasshoppers in their backpack 😄

Went out to touch grass, but found what might be a portal to another place and I’m a bit tempted to see what would happen if I went through…

Rocky creekbed and woods. Cloudy sky with a patch that’s super blue.
