Good morning from Newman

This is Newman. I adopted him less than two weeks ago, and I'd say he's enjoying it here. He was a stray and estimated as 10 years old. Pretty cute!

Look at my lovely pendant! Happy early birthday to me. Thanks, @oishinythings.bsky.social
A labradorite pendant, shifting colors between blue and gold and grey, wrapped in silvery mesh pattern with a sort of tentacle at the top, on a jade green background.

I don't have a turtle, would you take a bunny?

Oh my, but #TheTombOfDragons by @pennyvixen.bsky.social was so good! I raced through it today and now need to read it again more slowly. And it certainly looks like the #CemeteriesOfAmalo series could continue, which makes me very happy!

Third day the hammock has been here, third day Maggie has been on it. I win!

I got a hammock for Maggie, and her highness is pleased.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

Maggie is napping hard right now. And the Bruins game doesn't start for another hour!

I thinned out my hockey book collection last time I moved, but had to keep a few!

Maggie is always here to say "What's up?"
(She is, what's up-side down, of course.)

Do you need to take a break from the TV? Maggie suggests you could feed the cat. And consider going to bed.
Mind you, I'm watching the Bruins game. But they aren't doing their job and playing well enough to distract me.

The music at the nail salon changes style frequently; today, they were playing sort of jaunty jazzy music, except that at one point, I realized it was a rendition of No Scrubs, and at another point, Waterfalls.
I was turning the heel on a sock while getting a pedicure. As you do. #SockKnitters

I subscribed to The Guardian this week for a new perspective, and am cautiously optimistic about it, but overall I agree with you.

Reminds me of the time a friend gave me a lion wig that was too small for her dog, to try on my cat. Carlos was not amused! He was a very laid-back cat, but didn't want it on his ears.

This is one of the first pictures I took of Maggie! She was pretty relaxed on day one.

It says something about the status of my current projects that when I needed one to bring to the blood mobile today, the easiest one was the 2-in-1 socks. #ShowMeYourKnits

I actually burst out laughing when this passed me today. Somehow baby blue is hilarious on a cybertruck, even more than the stainless ones.
