The happiest boy

There is another!

Wistful for the outdoors

The laundry that remained without cat hair for a solid 25 seconds.

Wasn’t using that hand for things.

My eternally jet lagged self enjoys the time in a schadenfreude sort of way because it lets me remind my parents that it’s like this, times 6, every few weeks, and times 14 every few months, and that’s why I don’t visit as often as they’d like.

I am trying to paint. Someone has decided I’m painting standing up today.

Yesterday: 55 degrees F (13 C).
Today: 17 degrees F (-8 C)

Guess which day the heat stopped working?

The cat? Doesn’t care. With that much fur, why would she?

Very wise choice! So much rage distilled into one bird…

In Germany for work, enjoying a rare sunny day and my first Weinschorle of the season on my day off. The sun actually feels warm on my skin. I have missed that more than I realized.

Very dramatic ice world this morning, which I’m fairly certain calls for a nice potato/onion soup.

I’m trying to figure out a good balance. Been (mostly) taking a break from social media in general, but I do agree— there are folks I just do not want to lose touch with and I need to figure that out.

The old masters would enjoy this reference material. Ridiculous cat.

Happy International Women in Science day!

The nice thing about watching movies in German is that I have to concentrate and cannot look at my phone.

Also? This cat is very cute and soothes the soul.

I have a self-preservation practice of ‘no news before noon.’ This helps with the struggle between being well informed and staying sane…but only if I actually do it.

If she trips you, you will feel bad and give her more treats. She’s a clever one.

Thank you! It’s interesting to contrast the two

That’s some intense change! Do you know what it looks like on a percentage basis, out of curiosity?

I am also on team Triceratops, though the stegosaurus is a close second. Try to bite my back, will you? Go ahead!

Another day, another nap attempt foiled by the sun. You think she’d learn to face the other direction.

If I build the Lego set in the gaming table, the cats won’t interfere!

The cat:

Shaping up to be a quiet, snowy weekend and Riesling is a big fan.

Lazy Saturday with a really excellent book and an extremely sleepy cat.

Riesling was trying to take a nap this weekend. The sunbeam wasn’t cooperating.
