Lydia is getting more relaxed all the time, though she still likes to curl up in a secret hidey hole for hours at a time. If she hears me working in the studio, she wants to get all up in my business. I sure do love this beautiful girl.

Lydia telling me how it's going to be, working in the studio with her here. Whatever you say, boss. It took her all of four days to take over the entire household.

I brought home a new cat from the shelter. Her project for the first few days has been to find every possible secret hiding place until she felt safe and secure. She's really good at hiding. I determined her name is Lydia.

I love my little Christmas. Most of these little animals, birds, insects, hearts, stars and angels were made by people I love. I'm okay with a little celebration in the cold winter, i think of it as my own little Pagan altar.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

I just joined up, had enough Twutter or X or Elonisamoron or whatever the goonsquad is calling it, sick of Fbook's bullshit and ads, willing to give this a shot. This is my cat Big Guy. He's kind of an asshole, but I love him.
