Hanging with my little buddy on #internationalcatday

thank you for this charming cat content in my feed :)

same!

No need, but thanks. I'm trying to get my mom to move closer to me here in New Orleans. She is still quite independent for an 83 yo, so it will likely be a regular apartment for her as long as she is safely able.

As someone who has recently been trying to look for options for my mom, that pricing isn't as bad as some I've seen (and that is saying something!) I've seen entry fees over $300k. Of course, none of this is in her budget.

I feel like garbage this morning, and if both bosses weren't on vacation, I would take a sick day. At least I only have 1 meeting.

mine will get out of whack from one day in a ponytail. FWIW, I think it looks cute curly, though!

Having to try to write annual goals in the midst of a week where your job is making you feel irrational rage is, well, challenging.

yeah, it's weird, but it works. Thankfully, the smell doesn't seem to linger (at least not with mine)

I've been on the phone now for over 30 minutes with multiple representatives just trying to get my health plan to mail me cards with my new last name. Why is this so hard?! My name is already changed in your system. I can see that online!

He looks so tiny up there

Anyone want a giant Saints beanbag? Slightly used... mainly by our cat. 😆

We were watching the pop a shot competition at the bar. The other tv was showing polo 🏇. Interesting time for a sports bar.

I had my eyes dilated for the first time in ages, and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get much work done until this blurriness subsides (it just took me forever to type that - my keyboarding skils aren't great)

I read about this side effect after my last bout of food poisoning. Scary stuff! I instantly started trying to be more careful and aware of how I was moving about. Hope you don't have any negative effects!

Oh no! I'm so sorry. That is not far from where my mom lives, and these communities tend to be safe and quiet. My condolences to your friend and her family. 😞

It's been ages since I had the real thing, but it tastes like I remember it!

Oh, I bet so!

Recipe card

Here's the recipe - not hard at all, but does use oj concentrate

Hot afternoon. Nostalgic cool treat. Homemade orange julius

we had a work holiday party at Le Citron many years ago, and it was awful. I know that banquet food and regular service are very different things, but inedible jambalaya is inexcusable

Boat motor and the river

Overcast skies mean it's downright comfortable here in the Tchefuncta

I was very happy they had blue available at the outlet

Fwiw, I also got new running shoes, but I'm a lot less excited about those 👟

Le Creuset dutch oven in blue

Thanks to a lot of morning walks and runs, I earned a solid amount of rewards through my crappy health insurance plan, so I splurged on this beauty. (Though it was 40% off the outlet price, so not a huge splurge).

1000%!
I went to small, homogenous Catholic schools for 12 years. I got to a big diverse state university, and my world opened up (in the best way)

He rounds out your wonderful family so well. Takes his supervisory and snuggling duties very seriously
