In the first two weeks of my volunteering at the cat shelter, I cared for Edward, Nigel, Jeffrey, and Jenkins. (Jeffrey is now my Jeffy). No one at the shelter watched OFMD. Well played inside joke, Universe. Well played.

The disappearances in the short-term rental continue. First, the 3# bag of peaches; next the cat's yellow water bowl; and now, the cookie dough scoop. This is crisis level now. Spoons just are inferior for scooping raw cookie dough. I'd make a joke about inverting the flag, but now's not the time.

I got a shiny new car two weeks ago after years of practical POSs. I ran it through a carwash today. Some piece of machinery went haywire and scratched and dented the grille, front end, both quarter panels, and the roof. Oh, and trapped us in the wash tunnel for a while. I'm beyond pissed.

Today I learned that my husband and I both call the song Little Boxes (Malvinia Reynolds, 1961) the Ticky Tacky song. We grew up half a decade apart in different parts of the country with radically different parents. I present to you a bit of synchronicity. #americanmusic youtu.be/VUoXtddNPAM?...
Malvina Reynolds - Little Boxes (Weeds Theme Song) Full Version with Lyricsyoutu.be The full Malvina Reynolds version, popularized as the theme song from the T.V. series, 'Weeds'. --LYRICS-- Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky tacky, Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes all the same. There's a pink one and a green one And a blue one and a yellow one, And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. And the people in the houses All went to the university, Where they were put in boxes And they came out all the same, And there's doctors and lawyers, And business executives, And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. And they all play on the golf course And drink their martinis dry, And they all have pretty children And the children go to school, And the children go to summer camp And then to the university, Where they are put in boxes And they come out all the same. And the boys go into business And marry and raise a family In boxes made of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. There's a pink one and a green one And a blue one and a yellow one, And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same.

Sunset in East Boston. This is the most unencumbered view I could find. #photo #sunset #skyline #nature

I'm thinking about time & perception of time. Both of my grandfathers were born in the later 1800s. My great grandfathers fought in the US Civil War. My kids are about 130 years younger than all that. Not far apart, really, in time, but they feel like ancient history compared to my kids' lives.

#sunrise #nature #photo I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out, and I say, oh, I am miserable, what shall - what should I do? And the sea says in its lovely voice: Excuse me, I have work to do. -Mary Oliver, I Go Down to the Shore, 2012

To expand on my profile, my neighbors' cat is named Lucius. Too weird, Universe.

Quilting laments. Yesterday was a bust for quilting. I have 2 different projects in similar colorways. I completed 88 6" HST before I noticed that I meant to cut 88 4" HST in that pairing. Trimming hell.

Do not trust Jeffy when he gives you this look. He has cat treats in the other room. He just wants your bacon.

I made this runner for a king bed. I just don't like it very much now that it's done. It's alternating solid and 4 patch blocks. Each patch has 2 squares that are 2 or 3 patches themselves. I was trying for spritely motion. I think I achieved un-unified chaos. Anyway, it's in the guest room now.
