The Spousal Unit made delicious oven-que ribs & coleslaw today. A fine Sunday dinner.

"Farther Together," original watercolor. A flock of ravens and the majesty of the milky way. They know that when we go together, we can touch the stars. I also made prints, tote bags, and game mats with this art: www.joannabarnum.com/shop #art #ravens #corvids #darkart #fantasyart #watercolor

Libations for the house spirit! The kitchen sink which refused to drain since last night despite all the home efforts has cleared! We’ve been muddling through because I’m a cheap bastard & didn’t want to pay plumber holiday rates.

Matt Wedel’s piece “Child,” also named “Orange Julius" at the Long Beach Museum of Art approx. 2008. I lived nearby and saw it almost everyday.

Looking forward to a Friday evening reading Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Not thrilled to be dealing with boxes mice have been using for nesting. Feces & urine galore! Did I mention this is in a garage with no AC? But I did get to show the less experienced employees what to look for, where to get the masks/gloves, & why they need to wear them.

Starting the prep for kumquat curd.

Full moon, Irish bar, live music, old friends.

This is me 30 years ago this at my friend Elaine's hand-fasting. I have better garb shoes now.

Home again. The cats are happy & rarely let me out of sight. I have been to that campground so many times over the last 3 decades but I have an odd feeling that I won’t see it again. Foolish melancholy, I hope.

Vacation officially started! Tonight I finalize packing lists. I enjoy the organizational aspect of taking a trip. Logistics baby!

Present me is grateful to past me for adding vacation days before & after the upcoming camping trip. Good thinking Past Self!

A good pet sitter is worth what they charge. And a hefty tip. I came home to two happy, calm cats. She even sang to them.

I'm back at it with the reliquary pendants. The bird here is cut from one of my Basilisk woodcuts, the cloth is vintage handwoven tsumugi silk. I'll be pairing it with either a sunstone or sapphire, whichever speaks to me when I get to that point.

Hey y’all! I have made some big life decisions that will result in an improved financial situation for us, including taking advantage of free PT so I can function better, but we need help while I wait to get paid from these jobs. If you like my kitten posts, please consider sparing a dollar!

I hate dusting but have a handful of knick knacks that mean a lot to me. Maybe a shadow box with a door?

Cleaning before the meet & greet with the new pet sitter. Begone squalor!

Waiting to take down my office’s network & asking all the powers that be that I can get it back up again after the changes are made. I’m not IT, I’m just the friggin’ trained monkey they use when they don’t want to fly out to this office.
