My new painting in front of our Honda Fit. We had to strap it to the roof to get it home.

Today is my birthday. I’m spending it wearing my brand new, extremely extra yet extremely me coat.
I’m gonna kick this next year right square in its ass.

This is my standard issue midwestern winter coat. I think I’ve owned this exact jacket in various forms since my childhood.
I’m very cold always, and the hood doesn’t mess up my hair.

I’ve had my beloved leopard coat for a few years now, so it was time to add something new to the rotation 💖

Went to see the Springsteen movie last night and I’m still thinking today about how incredible it was.
I generally don’t love music biopics, but the story was a phase of Bruce’s career that I love (Nebraska, and the shelved tapes that became Born in the USA).
Jeremy Allen White was fantastic.

Our house now is generally colder than our apartment used to be; apartment had radiant heat, and was on the top floor. So 66 degrees generally warm for winter.
I wake up every morning now with my cat either tucked into one of my armpits, under the blankets, and/or on my pillow. My little monster.

Just another day of wishing that I lived closer to the Poconos. A weekend spent in a heart shaped hot tub would heal me.

I have a post exploding on Facebook about my cat painting. All of the comments are so cute and funny and nice. It’s been the highlight of my week, because I loved writing about it.

I need to stop looking at cat paintings on Marketplace, because I am now the proud owner of Cashmere, the Resting Cat. At 4”x5”, this is the largest, most ridiculous thing that I own.
I originally spotted it in the movie An Evening With Beverly Luff Lin, and have been looking ever since.

Canada’s malls were very good to me, both the malls themselves and the people in them.
Future mall projects/trips will likely be over the border.

I didn’t dress up, and I cried more than I sweat. What a beautiful thing I got to be a part of that evening.
I also really needed to cry.
