Did you watch the video yet?

That's the ocean over in the top left, as seen from the house. So determined to ignore the climate crisis driving this & blame the current homeowners.

Reminds me so much of an Elton Bennett serigraph!

Because of course that's whose house it was at. Of course this weird thing would happen to Nic Cage.

We had to say goodbye to our handsome boy last week, so I'm gonna soak up all the kitties

This one showing how they pegged my location down cracked me up.

This test taught me the PNW seems to just not name a bunch of things other places have fun names for. Ever since this test came out, I've been pointing to roads along the highway & forcing people to tell me what they're called

cooked 3 pounds of ground turkey with onions & garlic & got beans on for their first cook

Making a giant pot of chili & gonna eat cozy things all weekend & put up the rest of the browned meat for easy meals later

Trying to be kind to myself. I'm having a really hard time. I miss my friend so much.

Picked up my groceries which included a drive past the vet with an allmmost unsafe amount of crying. But I took my car cat & errand buddy Gracie, who makes everybody happy when they see her looking out the car window like a puppy & she made 3 friends

Came home, did dishes, put the groceries away &

He spent every moment glued to my thigh on the couch, somehow knowing the only place he wouldn't hurt me. We spent months together on the couch napping, watching hummingbirds & Chopped.

I woke up to this view every day for years until today. I want to throw my heart into the freaking river.

Oh my God my heart is so broken over my kitty. We had a whole bedtime routine with him so he wouldn't be hungry during the night so now I can't go in the bathroom without losing my mind

It's also activating all the grief from my dad & brother & a panic about my mom being 80

After my spinal injury+

5pm appointment to let this perfect boy not hurt anymore. Next month would've been 21 years with him in our hearts & home.

He was 17.5 pounds of muscle. Vets used to say "he has a giant skull!" He's a beast of a cat. Grew up with my babies. I love him so much.

The irony that it's an ice cream flavor containing hockey pucks had killed me.

Took our 21yo boy to the vet to start his palliative care plan. Today he received a pain med they put on like a flea med (on the back of his neck) that lasts about 4 days.

The carrier is very distressing for him, so when we're not moving or transferring him to the vet's office, he gets lap time.

I'm glad I wasn't raised by "it's just a cat" people & don't have any in my life, because I am turned inside out by our kitty's diagnosis yesterday.

He's not in any pain & is behaving normally for an old guy aside from the limp, so we're managing w/gabapentin while we wait for the biopsy results.

At least there are kittens here

I'm sorry, are these prices for real?! 😭😭 I paid more than $7.50 for a side of bacon last time we had diner breakfast.

A slice of pie for $2.25?!?!? 😭😭😭😭

Out in the sticks, we don't have bodegas, so we don't have bodega cats.

But we do have hardware store cats!

Gift alert if you have a dad in your life to shop for! I think they're only for sale through August.

It was a real missed opportunity that they didn't make this a gift set with a tiny can. And maybe the tiny holster. But it's still fun & useful.

I hung it up IMMEDIATELY when we got home. In the antechamber of the kids' bedrooms & the 2nd bathroom. (No, I didn't take down the original Romeo+Juliet movie poster to do so, my kid set it there while rearranging their wall art. I thrifted it & framed it for them for their 19th bday)
