I'll probably post too many pictures of my cat. Maybe some knitting/crafting content.

The azalea in my yard that I ignore because I can kill all the plants is blooming. I love this color.

When Alex falls asleep on my lap, I take pictures of his feet

He may be small, but he sure can take over the bed. And who could move him, he looks so sweet and peaceful!

Daffodils blooming in front of my building yesterday.

I never really understood this on an emotional level until very recently.

A propos of nothing, I was just remembering learning about Neville Chamberlain and his attempt at appeasing Germany. Didn't work out so well for him. Don't expect it will work will today, either. 🙄

My favorite Captain America quote: "When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- 'No, you move.'" We need leaders who say "Enough. YOU move." Not ones who vote on shitty CRs.

While clearing out an office, I found an old electronic sign.

Sleepy Cat, a Study in Four Pictures

He thinks I can't see him getting closer

I am trapped on my couch. And his claws hurt.

Alex was making air biscuits in my lap.

How is it only February 7? The last few weeks feel like 2 years. 😐

Alex got mad at me because I wouldn't let him sit on my lap while I was knitting. So he sat on the arm of the couch and just stared at me. When I started petting him, he jumped into my lap again. So I let him stay there.

It's been a horrible two weeks here in the US, and I feel the need to share these signs again. When I made them, I didn't *really* think we were going to go full dystopian novel. ☹️

Alex: why are you taking pictures instead of petting me? Do your job, human

When you take a picture of your cat sleeping because he's so cute, but you accidentally wake him up, and then he gives you this look

In an effort to avoid the news, I'm spending this wekend baking. Second attempt ever at making pizelles. Better than last time but still all kinds of wonky.

Alex has the right idea.

I FINALLY finished my Thanksgiving knitting project. This is the Cora scarf, by HiberKnits (on Ravelry and Etsy). Now I need to block it, but I hate blocking acrylic so it may be awhile before I do that. 🧶

Well, I wanted to clean today. Alex has other ideas. I can't even reach my knitting project!

I've been working from home the last few days, and this is how Alex told me I needed to take a break. But dang, look at his whiskers
