good ol’ Jack, helping me stay awake and write some ads. #cats

my Emotional Support Pickle is doing a lot of heavy lifting these days.

tell me about any good #books you’ve really enjoyed recently. here’s one of mine.

brb, hiding out here for the rest of time.

I think everyone needs kittens right now so here is a visit from Baby Jack and Baby Lu. #cats

well, I had kind of a rotten day. gave in to the gloom and had a bit of a primal scream in the shower. then my spouse gave me a come-to-Jesus talk about doomscrolling and I’ve spent the evening #writing instead. five stars, highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#5SongShuffle while I worry about the world. #MusicSky The Chain / Fleetwood Mac U Should Not Be Doing That / Amyl & the Sniffers Corner of My Eye / Lemon Twigs Spitting from the Top / Rae Morris Timebomb / Old 97s

Lulu is popping in to ask how you are and send a small hug (and a lick, if wanted). #cats

approaching a new week the way Jack approaches a snowball. #cats

my mom is so cute, Valentine’s Day is also my half-birthday and she got me some cozy themed socks. (anyone else mark their half-birthday in any way? I grew up in a small family and we were always looking for more excuses to celebrate. 🎉♥️)

#5SongShuffle on the drive back from visiting my mama. #MusicSky Survival Car / Fountains of Wayne Keep Moving / Jungle Evelyn’s House / Lilly Hiatt Disappearing / Low Vetiver / Hurray for the Riff Raff

three years since we lost my wonderful, gentle, loving dad. remembering the good times today, and thankful there were so many. ♥️

Lulu, resolute on #Caturday.

exactly 28 years since my first date with this guy. still doin’ pretty damn good. #valentinesday ♥️💗♥️

Lulu knows the answer to “who’s my sweet lil baby girl?” but saying it out loud would be way too undignified. #cats

a brief pause for Jackie paws. #cats

having a pretty crappy time of it today. bummed because I was on such a good streak with my #writing. I’m hoping I can get it back despite it all, because it’s one of the only things keeping me aloft right now. ♥️

despite everything, it’s still #Caturday.
