TFW a friend invites you to a music festival, then never follows up with meetup info until you text from the venue and find out they are coming 2 hours later.

TFW you upgrade your seat from lawn to row 4 center.

A pink Cosmo flower with a yellow center is in focus. Out of focus in the background are another pink flower, a metal shepherd hook with a hanging basket, a small patch of grass, and a gray road.

Brief Congress update: my very own district in "deep red east NC" has been drifting to the center for years.

It's flippable in '26.

Sad today. Remembering a cruise that I took with my parents - both gone in the past 2 years - 10 years ago. We went to happy hour on the ship, with drinks 2-for-1, and mom and I drank too many Pimm's cups while dad was a social butterfly and annoyed that we got a round without him.

From behind the head of a fat gray cat, we watch mourning doves peck for seed on the back patio.

Bird watching

A sleeping big gray tom cat (technically lilac point Siamese, but clearly with a solid dose of tabby) rolls over to allow his fluffy tummy to get scritches. His back feet are in pre-bunny kick position, ready to scratch and bite if it's too much. But for now, he's happy to snooze on the sofa next to his person.

Happy 1st gotcha day to this fluffy boy. #caturday #gotchaday
