For everyone that’s been so desperately asking (literally no one), here’s my laptop background. Miso’s always watching. Never forget.
An open laptop with a grumpy Siamese cat as the background. To the left of the laptop is a handsome tuxedo cat.

“And I think every child should have one star up in the sky that is all his own.”

Childhood innocence is so beautiful and delicate and admirable.
Photo of a book with a highlighted passage. The passage within “Dibs: In Search of Self” reads “I think every child should have a hill all his own to climb. And I think every child should have one star up in the sky that is all his own. And I think every child should have a tree that belongs to him.”

Can you tell I love Miso (my Siamese cat)? Bonus pictures from the last couple days:
An elder dog with a white face lays on the couch with her face between her front paws. Her name is Arlene :) A Siamese cat lays curled up atop her large purple squishmallow. This squishmallow is HER bed and where she sleeps every single night. A Siamese cat loafs atop a wooden cat perch mounted to the wall. She looks down at human.

Most of the photos I take these days are of animals, specifically cats. In fact, I did the calculations, and photos of cats equate for 17% of my total camera roll (I have at LEAST 1,537 photos of cats. But, this doesn’t include the ones that aren’t recognized by my phone).

A Siamese cat sits in the lap of her human whom she pretends to hate unless behind closed doors. This was a rare event and required a photo. If you zoom into her face, she is staring at human angrily. A handsome tuxedo cat sits atop a cat perch mounted to the wall. He looks like batman. A Siamese cat is laying atop a cat perch mounted to the wall. Above her is a framed painting of a Siamese cat that looks like her. A handsome tuxedo cat lays on a pillow with his front paws stretched straight out in front of him (his go to sleeping pose). He’s side eyeing human.

I love my Miso #catsofbluesky
A siamese cat laying against the wall like a human A siamese cat tucked into a pink heart blanket and looking at the camera A siamese cat stretched out on the floor. The brown line going across her whole underside (the long way) is visible. A polydactyl Siamese cat has her paw on her human’s arm and is looking out the window.

It was like 40 degrees (F) the other day so I let my kids down to the (frozen with slush on top) pond to get clean and do some ‘foraging’
They were thrilled, and I got some beautiful pictures.

Landscape image with a leafless weeping willow in the left side of the frame. High contrast between the light browns of the dead bushes, dark brown of the tree, and white of the snow and foggy sky. Duck footprints in snow! 6 ducks standing on top of a frozen pond. Picture of a frozen pond with a needle-less larch tree on the left, and dead bushes at the bottom.

Miso is so silly and was rather appalled at my audacity to touch her tummy #siamesecat #polydactyl
A siamese cat (white with dark brown ears, face, feet, and tail) is laying on her side with the bottoms of her back feet towards the camera. She’s looking at the ceiling. Same description as the other photo, but a stupid human is grabbing the cat’s tummy!

My boyfriend sent flowers to my family’s house 😭I feel so grateful for this boy :( 💏 #longdistance
A bouquet of flowers with yellow roses, purple asters, white lilies, green ferns, and another kind of purple flower. In the bouquet is a note that says “To Arlo and Family, don’t let the current state of the world get you down. Brighter days are coming! I love you. - Corben” A bouquet of flowers with yellow roses, purple asters, white lilies, green ferns, and another kind of purple flower.

Today has been so difficult. This country is so incredibly depressing. But meet my car, Miso. #Miso2028 #VoteMiso #CarsForOffice2028
A siamese cat sits on a large squishmallow with her front feet in between her back feet. Her back toe beans are showing and she’s looking to her left. A siamese cat is lying in a bowl shaped bed, attached to a green cat tree, while looking at the photo-taker. From the photo’s angle, her top and bottom half make a very circular shape. A siamese cat lays grumpily with her owner. Miso, the cat, is on her side with her left back foot closest to the camera (it looks very large). Miso’s owner can be seen smiling behind her.
