🐈‍⬛ This dirty booty cutie will not let me shave his behind. Enter the tube treats. I could have shaved him naked if I'd kept giving him those. Fortunately I work fast, so it was a one tube job. This face wants more though. I'm sure I'll cave. #DIYGrooming #notsoseekritlair

📚 I've read quite a few books lately that were much vaunted that just did not work for me. I saw this on the @southrevbooks.bsky.social and read it through in one sitting last night. I've got a new favorite writer in Sarah Addison Allen. #southerngothic #magicalrealism #notsoseekritlair

Dear Mr. Woodchuck, who is squatting under my porch: please consider this to be my formal notice of eviction. My hair dryer and I will be along later to serve you with this notice. #notsoseekritlair

🐈‍⬛📷 Cheezit is so, so happy that her friend Summer Rug Hallrunner is back. She runs across the kitchen and pounces on it. She gallops through the living room and flops down and rabbit kicks it. She buries catnip mice in it. She loves Summer Rug. #happycat #notsoseekritlair

@legendarydenise.bsky.social shared this with me this morning and I'm sharing it with you! Mars moved into Aries yesterday and that heats up this sign in your birth chart until 5/18. By next week, we will have 6 of the 10 planets in Aries. Tag her when you hit bingo! I'm well on my way!

Thank goodness Quill is on the job saving me from a roll of toilet paper that escaped from the cabinet. I was nervous sitting here in my chair with that thing so close to me but Quill will make sure it doesn't bother me. 🐈‍⬛📷#guardcat #notsoseekritlair

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to endorse a new bookstore.The books we read do live after us; the titles are oft interred with our bones. So let it be with Booked Up. Noble Margaret McNamara hath told you that reading is fundamental, and beautifully they meet that truth.

Coke discontinued this long ago, as has happened with many things I've loved over the years (RIP Vanity Fair 75-031). Imagine my joy in finding a 12-pack at D&W! It's a limited release through 12/31, so I'm savoring sips while quilting and making baked feta pasta. #sundayvibes #notsoseekritlair

Last night's home improvement project. I've been stalking this bidet from LUXE Bidet and it finally went on a deep enough sale for me to pull the trigger. I installed this myself in less than 30 minutes. Everything I needed came in the box and it couldn't have been simpler. #notsoseekritlair
