Why yes it was the best weather we could have asked for. In between the couple of finback whales we saw…just slowly cruising off Race Point in Provincetown MA. We didn’t really see many, but it was the first whale watch for my cousin so it was still pretty special.

If this holds, this will be the most perfect weather we could ask for, considering our plans. This is *perfection*.

I love my antique Singer 201, but I can’t program it to greet me with motivational nonsense. Me and my feminist sewing machine are rocking out to Dar Willams circa 1996 @ 11:30 pm because I accidentally caffeinated myself at 3 pm.

All last week during my staycation, which was supposed to be spent in the yard either gardening or sitting back there reading in my cozy outdoor seating area, but it was hotter than Satan’s taint and humid AF, even in the evening. This week? Back to work and … 🤬

Update: I gently moved him to the bed and he curled back up into a little furry shrimp, with only the sweetest little purry sleepy grumbles of protest. Went downstairs to grab some water and came back up to this. 🙄
I guess he lives here now.

Against my normal practice of no caffeine after noon, I’ve downed a cold brew so I can get some
fun sewing stuff done after this day of four naps. But The Bean has decided my laptop case is his bed now, so I need to break Cat Law and relocate him. Even if he’s making the cute sleepy purr-groans.

It’s amazing to me how well these suckers blend in to their surroundings. I only saw it when I went to throw this broken tomato plant into the compost. 🤢

If you’ve been on the interwebs forever- this image or one like it has likely popped up, because it’s so insane and gets shared on Reddit and other weird places. But he was one of the old badasses in that battle.

Bean says “Fuck the Fourth.”
He’s going to work on his rust tan while the weather is cooperating and pleasant enough for a good open window nap. Silly void always picks the window closest to “incinerator hot” to have a nap.

Thanking babeeejeeezuz that the Mr thought to put the ACs in the windows 2 days ago. Normally I’m the one who wants them I. but I didn’t see that this is followed by a solid week of hot and humid, though not as bad as today.

At least we’re down from the Real Feel of 101 this afternoon.
And no, we don’t have the A/Cs in the windows yet.

Otis and Bean are honoring Caturday by cramming themselves into a cuddly spot behind my knees on the couch, so we’ll pull these from the recent archive.

My little stalker- sat like this for a good 10 minutes staring at me after I sat there silently waiting for him to slowly creep his way through the dining room, office area, under living room chairs, and along T’s crap that’s still here waiting for him to come get it.
