They look so much alike when they curl up like this. As they should since they are siblings. But it's fun to notice the similarities when they happen. #Catsky

Busy weekend of Pax Pamir, Grand Austria Hotel, and A Goofy Movie. #ttg #boardgames #moviesky

Have to replace the roof and cut the tree (insurance says so) and now a major clog in the bathroom. That's our three, right? Right?!

For Mother's Day the family played My Little Pony: Adventures in Equestria deck building game. I proved again how awful I am at deck builders but we had fun with much giggling. #ttg #boardgames

Overheard from a 1st grader: I'm more a expert in American fish.

Job hunting is not fun. In case you were wondering.

Overheard at work: Teacher: What goes at the end of a sentence? Student: Chicken! #chickensky

I've been applying for jobs. Wish me luck, please. Here's my cat for tax.

Two games today: Molly House and Suburbia. Both great fun. First play of Suburbia and I enjoyed the challenge. Third play of Molly House and the theme is gelling nicely. #ttg #boardgames #mollyhouse

A crocheted dreamcatcher I made tonight. The pattern is Tooter's Dreamcatcher from my book "The Lady of Castanola." #crochetsky #booksky #westernromance

Did you know I'm on Substack? And I have two books for pre-order? open.substack.com/pub/cjanerei... #wwi #hooverville #booksky

Played an adorable game of License to Krill. The whale plushie not only has a purpose (porpoise heheh) in the game but also holds the cards between plays. #ttg #boardgames #licensetokrill

They have their own beds now.

Fist full of poppies. Pattern from the book, "Wolves of the Argonne," available for preorder now. www.amazon.com/Wolves-Argon... #crochetsky #historicalromance #wwi

Our copy of Molly House arrived! We've already gotten two plays in and it's making more sense. We both are enjoying it immensely. #ttg #boardgames #mollyhouse

I feel this. Time to put the handheld sadness machine down for the night.

The proof of "Wolves of the Argonne" is in and I'm making last minute edits. www.amazon.com/Wolves-Argon... #amediting #booksky #amwriting

The proof copy for the paperback of "Wolves of the Argonne" shipped! I can't wait to hold it in my hands. It's such a magical thing, having a book you wrote in your hands.

Four new to me games played today, all nicely short. I lost at all of them and had a blast doing so: Stonespine Architects Shake That City River Valley Glasswork Next Station London

Would you like to fetch a new book I'm tossing out to the world (for a modest cost)? www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4JJZ1YH

I need a stitch-along. Crochet, embroidery, whichever. Anything to jumpstart my stitching again. #crochetsky #embroiderysky #stitchalong #crochetalong #embroideryalong

I enjoyed it. Much silliness.

I figured out why I didn't like the game, Fort. It's a deck builder with a card stealing mechanic. I don't care for deck builders to begin with. So it is not a game for me. At least I tried it again though.

Saw Tremors last night on the big screen. Great fun was had by all. #moviesky

New mug from the thrift shop. Filled with Earl Grey this morning. It's been a minute since I had tea.

Hey, my gamer friends! What color token do you always choose? I already go with yellow, and if there is no yellow, then orange. #boardgames #gamers

The games last night and a bit of disappointment when I had to give Eric two of my supplies, taking me out of the running of Tycoon in Arcs. He won, but I managed second place. He won Tourney, too, but TC won Murder of Crows.

Ah, 3:30 a.m., my old friend. How are you tonight? I haven't seen you since yesterday.

I beat TC at Arcs. 😁

Caturday with Wesker and my husband. #caturday

Two games today: Tourney and River of Gold. Both fun plays, but Tourney was my favorite. #boardgames

Be a Samwise Gamgee. Support your friends, trust your instincts, be humble, lead with your heart, love potatoes, don't let one little spider ruin your day.

Did you know I wrote an anthology? Errand of Fools is a book of odd little stories plus a fantasy novel at the end. Link to all my books in my profile! www.amazon.com/Errand-Fools...

True story.

Out of these games, I won once. Of course it would be the easiest, Trio.
