Boog and Alice last night.

submitted 2 days ago • 0 comments

Last night, I dreamt that I went to an auction with about 1,000 pieces of vintage clothing from various eras, among other items, and it was pretty awesome. I woke up before bidding started, however. This may or may not end up in a book. #storydreams

That press conference was the most disgraceful act of betrayal I’ve ever seen.

Maybe I’m missing it, but is there a way to save something to come back to read it later on here?

Boog and Alice are very happy that the Red Dot now has a new battery. #catsky

Maybe we weren’t meant to wake up and read 20 terrible things immediately.

I’ve been knitting what will become a pair of socks.

If you have the privilege to make someone feel better, more valued, more alive, use it. Doesn’t have to be a big thing—use whatever tool you have. Today I nominated one of my project teams for the company’s integrity award because integrity still matters. What can you do today to #resist despair?

This is actually my chair, but according to Boog and Alice, this is their chair and I just get to sit in it on occasion. #catsky

Boog cannot decide if the Red Dot or the bouncy balls are his favorite toys. Alice doesn’t have a preference. #catsky

I haven’t sketched anything for months. *gestures at everything* But you know what? Fuck that. It’s something I enjoy. Why let them take that away? Today was sunny and pretty warm, so I took my lunch break and sketched my favorite backyard tree. It felt good.

Boog and Alice shenanigans.

I handwrite all first drafts of my novels with a fountain pen, so can I claim my 3am purchase of ink a necessity even though I have a lot of ink already? 🤔 🖋️

Had some leftover rice, so I made rice pudding for dessert.

Green lentil soup with rotisserie chicken. I almost ate it all before remembering to take a photo. #soupsky #leguminati

A serious question. If you found half a (very dried out) grasshopper in your 3lb bag of organic green lentils, would you still eat them. 🤔 Grasshoppers are edible, there was no mold or anything and I’d almost rather find half a dried out grasshopper in my lentils than a rock? I mean. 🤨

Swedish Yellow Split Pea Soup for tonight’s dinner (and tomorrow’s lunch, etc.) it’s quite tasty, and the perfect thing for a cold day. #leguminati #soupsky

I got an email this morning from a couple named Eric and Joanna Reuter who found a snake in their basement. They used one of my comics to help determine that it was a North American Racer and not a more common ratsnake. The photos are so, so cute

If cooking and baking is your path of resistance and you’re wanting to try sourdough, may I suggest the hands-down BEST book for uncomplicated sourdough bread baking? (And my recommendation comes from over 20 years of baking bread.) The author also has a website www.theclevercarrot.com

Blueberry and lemon scones for tonight’s bake. They turned out very tasty if a little wonky looking.
