A small raft of turkeys, a mere fraction of the usual gang, greets me as I step outside. They know who refill the bird feeder... and is sloppy about it.

Still waiting to hear from the world's only "Neuronormal" individual... especially since everyone is having so much fun declaring themselves "Neurodivergent" because... well, everyone has their heads up their own asses.

I honestly cannot express how happy I am right now. Sweetie likes me... really likes me!
Cat person here. Dogs ignore me. Never had a dog actually cuddle (she got and stayed closer)
Why so happy?
Can you imagine how horrible it would be if HER dog didn't like me?
I'm in heaven!

She Who Is brought her doggie last night.
When doggie.(Sweetie) first met me, it was with a growled and that concerned cat-person me.
This is how things are going...

The Tale will be titled "The Relics of Caleb Walsh". It follows a Tale previously published titled "The Journal of Caleb Walsh".
I have been experimenting with constrained writing. This will leave me 55 words and 2 phrases locked in specific locations I must write around.
It's pretty fun!

Editing my 2nd novel... again.
Goodness, between these 100,000 words and one of the short stories that is associated, I honestly lost count of how many horses die.

Figured out a fix... simply block or mute all accounts posting about whatever #bb27 is.
I take it that's some stupid reality show. Good riddance.

People seem concerned that rates of autism are on the rise.
I'm going to say they are not.
What I'll say is that 100 years ago we had a 23%mortality rate for kids under 5. Now we have a .7%.
100 years ago, children like my daughter didn't survive. Now they do. Now we see them.

Cats ❤️ me.
There are 2 semi-feral cats who hang out nearby. Both let me pet them.
This chap I saw today while working in the orchard. I tried meowing, mewing, psspssspsssing and even some blert-blerts but apparently I am not the Pussy Whisperer I thought I was.

Since my highly autistic daughter moved in a decade ago, my reading went from 50 books a year to 5 in 10 years. She is a very high maintenance sound machine.
I have a vacation coming up and will be reading Rosewater by @tadethompson.bsky.social.
Just ordered. I miss reading so much.

Today starts an experiment. Into my morning smoothie (blue/black/raspberries, banana, protein yogurt, muscle milk) went .3 grams of powdered Hell Hound.
This shall be ongoing.
As Dr. Hook suggested, I'm keeping it natural.

I heard turkeys clucking outside so went to see a gaggle and this kitty having a chat. There are a host of wild kitties in this valley and sometimes one will stop and say hello. They are feral, but understand people still.
So nice to make a new friend.
