Cait (she/her)

I'm only 6 pages in to the new Thursday Murder Club book and I'm already crying. Y'all 😅😭

A tortoiseshell cat with a tipped ear staring off into the distance, being dramatic.

This is my sweet tortie who is always very concerned about your lap and why she hasn't been invited to curl up in it yet.

I just wanna click the buttons and do the emails. Why does everything have to be complicated?

HR Block: would you like an agent to virtually do your taxes?
Me: well, heck, I sure would! *Esigns everything*
Suddenly, HR Block calls seventeen times: WHEN ARE YOU COMING IN TO WRAP UP YOUR TAXES LETS MAKE AN APPOINTMENT COME ON DOWN.
Our definitions of virtual are apparently very different

I am just going to write a villain in a book who walks in and says “HA HA HA I AM A VILLAIN, I WANT TO DESTROY THE WORLD, AND I WILL GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE I AM RICH” and it would be less obvious.

Screen grab from eBay which reads Head Clown Doll with Cloth Body. Clown Sways Top of Body around Slowly to Music. Music is some sort of Lullaby.

eBay’s been writing poetry again

Close up of an embroidery machine lettering 'from' in blue where the color is patchy due to poorly wound bobbin

There are hundreds of pictures in my camera roll like this. Mainly because I purchased a bad batch of pre wound bobbins and I keep trying to pretend it's fine. 😅🙃

From fun travel to funeral travel- this month is absolutely kicking my ass

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Travel is hard but I'm glad to be at my destination and surrounded by friends!

Egg prices are still high

I've broken ten embroidery machine needles as of last night. I like checking off these statistics as I grow and get better at creating.

Muahahaha okay swapping from my other account is now easier here. I like this!

If it helps with your anxiety at all, four fifths of all animals are nematodes.

A painting of three bumblebees lined up vertically on the canvas. The background is a textured mixture of white, light blue and yellow. Framing the bottom of the painting is a charcoal drawing of some chrysanthemums.

Did you know that Bumblebees shiver when cold to warm up their flight muscles? Also these fuzzy pompoms don’t produce honey. There are over 20,000 known bee species but only 8 species of honey bee and 43 subspecies of honey bee.

A photo I took of a Men's Wearhouse at night. The MEN' letters in the sign are not illuminated, so it says SWEARHOUSE.

You're gonna like the way you fuckin' look, asshole!

This might be shouting into a void but I'm new to embroidery digitizing and I've got puckering in my design. I've removed all but two layers, I'm stitching on patch twill with tearaway stabilizer. Is my problem at the digitizing step or the stabilizer? #embroidery #brotherse700

Update: I only have this as an audiobook and I'm already listening at 1.6x speed and I'm ridiculously desperate to devour more of the plot every time I reach my destination. I wish I had put the book on hold as well.

Today, as I wrestled with USPS inexplicably charging me $17 because they "updated" one of the packages I'd shipped to be a flat rate box (it was not), I was thinking about how much it costs to be too tired to fight every ridiculous thing on every front these days.

I'm only 8 chapters in, but Rules for Ghosting is adorable and emotional and I'm so along for the ride.

I love when it's finally cold outside. It means when the office decides to turn the heat to 73, I can go stand outside and cool down

I will eventually make an actual profile picture. I'm just not sure what it should be

London Fogs exist to remind me that the world is generally good and pleasant.

those who are new to Romancelandia may not know the golden rule:

live your life so Nora Roberts *never* feels compelled to blog about you

Look, it's hard to try and be social these days but I'm trying in between embroidery projects

Happy Friday, y’all!

Hello friends! I'm happy to be here.
