Tiny text tattoo, something important to carry with me
Inside of my right forearm, the phrase “and I am alive” in my handwriting in black tattoo ink. Bonus for those who read the alt text: it’s above a fall colored maple leaf tattoo that was my very first, and which I got immediately after I turned 18.

I wrote this a couple of years back but I’m still really proud of it.

Good morning
The back of a fluffy grey cat on the corner of my desk. In the background is episode 4 of Critical Role on a laptop, and a corner of my cozy bright office.

A fancy drink and a Sunday of story work
Photo of a cluttered desk with a caramel iced coffee, a corner of a computer monitor with an open document, and lots of small whimsical art and decorations clearly made by a child.

Deep, deep cut to my former band mates, found on the library shelves: VIVA PONCHO
Book cover of a smiling woman wearing a knit orange poncho with the ocean in the background. Title: Viva Poncho, sub-heading: twenty ponchos and capelets to knit by Christina Stork and Leslie Barbazette. The library barcode is blurred out.

Please appreciate these ridiculous maroon velvet shoes I found at my favorite thrift store.
A pair of size 10 maroon leading toward wine red velvet slip on flats with white soles hanging out on my floor waiting to be donned.

How am I supposed to get any writing done?
My fluffy grey cat is draped across my lap in my desk chair, belly up, and her head stretched over the arm of the chair and cradled in my right hand.

Oh my god this is my new favorite everything
A small blue candy wrapper labeled in what I think is Russian. There’s an illustration of a French postage stamp of the Eiffel Tower, and a photorealistic strawberry dipped in chocolate and the candy with a bite taken out. Some sort of magic combo of marshmallow and custardy strawberry filling sits inside a chocolate coating. No warning for how life-changing this treat is appears on the wrapper (as far as I can tell.)

Cat times
My fluffy grey cat curled in a half circle on my lap with her head resting on my belly and her paws and tail all in one spot.

A good face
Fluffy grey cat with eyes closed in a pleased expression, one paw outstretched toward the camera. She’s on a velvet yellow blanket on the bed in my bedroom.

The Bread Project returns with another flax bread, very very good with butter and blackberry jam.
A crusty round bread still in the cast iron skillet and parchment paper it was baked in. It has a very deep x across the top.

Babycakes took this picture of me taking a picture of her at the botanical garden today.
I’m holding our coats in one arm and have a DSLR up to my face. I have a black and grey striped shirt on and there are a bunch of leafy tropical plants all around and the water-smeared greenhouse windows taking up the top of the frames.

The Bread Project stalled for a few weeks after continued too-dense popovers and a failure of a cheese bread but were tentatively back with some apple cider muffins.

Instead of bemoaning various hard things, here is a picture of my cat on top of the refrigerator

Next in the Bread Project: Gluten Free Popovers. They came out too dense, but still tasted great. Definitely user error- I’ve made this recipe multiple times and it’s very fussy. Will try again soon because POPOVERS
Top of a slightly collapsed popover. Side view of a golden brown but misshapen popover.

My fluffy grey cat sits in front of my laptop where in the visible portion of the screen, Kirk in Wrath of Khan urgently looks at something.
