I was worried my cats were depressed in apartment life. The new home has cheered them up.

Holidailies are here! Posted on Dec 1, 2022, 11:12 pm
I’ve had a big change in my life since I last wrote in this blog back in February. I’m in a new job in a new town and I’m really loving the change

As an American, I can’t say I’ve ever really understood the modern British monarchy.

Merry Catmas! Posted on Dec 20, 2020, 5:12 pm
They don’t know Christmas from Tuesday, especially since I’m home most of the time now anyways.

Keaton is purring in her sleep, and Alex sometimes makes little squeaky noises and they’re drop-dead cute.

Regarding my previous entry, I've been thinking about what I have been doing in this pandemic that I might continue after we're through it.

If "normal" to you means life exactly as it was in the beforetimes, I'm sorry but that's not going to happen.

Cozy Sunday Posted on Dec 13, 2020, 2:12 pm
This morning, Sam is pouting because we haven't gone for our walk yet. I keep telling him it's because it's just too cold and windy, but he keeps giving me that look. Dog people will know what I'm talking about.

A for Effort Posted on Dec 7, 2020, 11:12 pm
Usually on weekdays, I don't put a lot of effort into making dinner. Tonight, though, I decided to make a full meal.

Two days after Christmas last year, a Friday, I woke up with a sore throat. Over that weekend, it quickly became much more. By Sunday, I was coughing so much my sides hurt. The next morning — my 51st birthday — I woke up coughing and gasping for breath

I had plans tonight Posted on Dec 3, 2020, 12:12 am
But then this happened.
