Every once in a while I catch a flash of Mocho on the windowsill or Brutus near the fireplace.
I talk to them same as I did when I would kitty-sit before we lived here.

Hubs and I live in a 97 year old home, which was my Bonus Dad's house before us.
He had two cats, Mocho and Brutus who loved the stained glass windows and fireplace respectively. Brutus went over the rainbow bridge in 03 and Mocho passed in 2018, after they moved to Alberta.
Our ghost cats are bad for misbehaving when I'm not up for it. Talking to them regularly helps sometimes.

When they ask 'why' for something, I'll give the answer, but then ask them 'can you see a different way'. New eyes aren't a bad thing.

I deal with records going back to 1922 so I get it.
Hope your day got better.
Yeah, it was a bit tough getting out of bed this morning; was glad to be off last week during the worst of the cold.
I was more annoyed, the squeals of joy meant stuff that was supposed to be covered for me didnβt get done and I now had a lot more work to do.
I was off for a week, the sounds I heard this morning were squeals of delight. I'm the one making disgruntled sounds.

I warned my hubs one time not to look at the wall of needles at a LYS. He'd have a heart attack if he saw the cost of one Chiagoo needle. π

Bunny says, βHave a cuppa.β
Yup, usually toss in a spoon of cheese whiz when making it.
It's a nice way to use up leftovers.
One of my favs starts with KD, then I add in cubed cheese squares (pepper jack, gouda, or swiss), bacon or ham, peas, and a bit of pickle. Dressing of mayo and a touch of mustard.

Progress on one of last year's New Year's Cast Ons. A blanket using up leftover bits and pieces as well as the 'oh, it's pretty' single skeins.

My favourite pairs of fingerless gloves.
I have many others, but they're at the office.
