This is how spoiled my cat is. When I have waffles, I let her have little tastes of whipped cream. I’m having cereal today, but she’s still getting cream.
(No, she didn’t have that whole pile. She’s lactose intolerant, after all.)

Every time I see mention of the “Defending Women” EO, I think, where’s the EO protecting women from entitled assholes grabbing their genitals? That’s the kind of defense I’d get behind. Instead we get some Handmaids Tale bs.

Well, my mold allergy is alive and well. We just found some water-damaged boxes and wow. Luckily it’s near bedtime so I’m taking those pink pills oh yeah.
Maybe should consider restarting immunotherapy shots.
