Olive jumped from my nightstand to my dresser. A jump she makes several times a day. Sometimes she flubs it. Yesterday she fatally flubbed and broke her little neck. We were there, helpless to do anything for her as she died in front of us. It was so fucking awful.
Our sweet little girl is gone.

Kitty judging me as I explain the latest rug I've woven and am currently fringing is, in fact, *not* for her, no matter how long she sits on it.

Yesterday, while perusing old weaving mags, this caused me to spit-take at my computer.
I feel like that yarn is doing a lot of heavy lifting...

Been in this house for 7 yrs,and the door from the hs to the garage (the heavy "fire" door) starts pulling away from the hinges.
Dave's fixing it today & discovers most of the screws (that should be at least 2.5" long) are no larger than a penny!
Very surprised they held out as long as they did.

I'm watching this 1973 horror movie starring Donald Sutherland (Don't Look Now). Davis came in the room, saw this and asked, "Is that Doctor Who?" and now I can't unsee it. Hah!

Just spent FOUR HOURS punching holes with that tiny tool and a mallet. I still have to dye and sew it together, then I never want to see leather EVER AGAIN.

Today's Daily Dose of Prince comes from Dave seeing an ad for this cover band playing at Pindustry.

When one buys used puzzles, this is to be expected.
One doesn't mind as one is much more of a process person than an end-product person.

Still sick AF. Stuff prescribed by telehealth isn't doing much so went to primary Dr. today. They said when I come in, stand by the door and wave this lime grn card at the front desk staff.
I thought, should I also strike a Quasimodo pose and in a ghoulish voice proclaim, "I am *the infected*"?

Not the prettiest thing I've ever baked, but it must've been good as this gingerbread didn't last 24 hours in our house!
