I mostly talk about pets, board games, gardening, coffee and recipes. I only speak for myself. Yes, I will go to brunch with you. | She/her

I can’t enjoy those videos of people rolling glass jars down stairs or off a building because all I can think about is the cleanup.

I don’t know how I got so lucky, but in my household of four cats and a dog, there is 100% dgaf about fireworks. Every one of them is all, “This has nothing to do with me.”

I can’t think of a clever caption for this. It just breaks my fucking heart.

Do you sing the choppin broccoli song when you prepare broccoli or are you young

My birthday is next week and I’ve already gotten my coupons for a free donut, $5 off a coffee (which will cover a drip coffee completely), and a free sub sandwich. That’ll be a good day.

Headed out this morning to help the spouse set up for this. If you’re in the Kansas City area and drums are your thing, you should stop by.

When I was helping my dad downsize, BuyNothing was amazing for getting rid of nice, usable things that were too small to sell. 1/

I found much joy in buy-nothing Facebook groups and just putting stuff on my porch and posting pictures. All it required was PM-ing people my address for pick up - no haggling, no bartering, first-come-first-served, no holds. I have been AMAZED at the stuff people will take off my hands…

I appreciate the rain we got last night but today’s humidity is no bueno.

I’m being viewed with suspicion.

At last, a scientific study that proves my lifestyle is objectively better than yours

Sedentary coffee drinkers had a 24 percent reduced risk of mortality compared with those who sat for more than six hours and didn’t drink coffee, according to the lead author of a study published recently in the journal BMC Public Health.

My dad also has a bobcat story. He was working in a logging camp and one morning he awoke in his cabin to find a bobcat kitten curled up next to him in bed. He tossed it out the window while it was still sleepy, before Mama Bobcat had a chance to come looking for it.

Share your kiddie nightmare fuel. Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot, Terrifying Space Mummy episode. It made me afraid of drinking fountains. (We watched whatever was on TV when I was a kid, okay?)

Just mind blowing. Elephants have names. Like, they give each other names and use them in conversation. Elephants have names!

I would like to request that the critters in my back yard stop knocking over the birdbath during the night.

One of the cats brought me a ball to play fetch and after several throws, the dog found HER fetch toy for me to throw. They don’t respect my work hours, is what I’m saying.

It was quite a depressing scene in the recent Little Women movie, when Jo gets offered $150 for a story in the 1860s, and I thought that was more than most places offer now.

It’s a good day to boil kettles of water to kill weeds.

What?

All the peony bushes that bloomed in my yard this year. (Actually, there are two of the white one, but they’re the same.)

Fungus of the day from my yard. It’s a phallus hadriani or dune stinkhorn according to Google Image Search.

Saw Cake in concert tonight and learned that they give away a tree at every show and people post updates about them on the band website. www.cakemusic.com/copy-of-forest

Making strawberry jam and for a hot second I thought I was somehow low on jar rings until I stumbled across the grocery sack full of them that I’d forgotten in the 15 minutes since I put it on the counter.

Heard a catbird for the first time (as far as I know) while buying my garden plants for the summer. Sounds just like a loud kitten!

New rule: If all the pets in your house are in bed with you when it’s time to start working, you automatically get PTO. Aw dang, one of the cats just jumped down. Guess I’ll get up.
