Olivia being naughty.

@thedemocratsmv.bsky.social could learn a thing or two from naughty #OrangeCats. They don’t sit back when challenged—they knock things off the table, demand attention, and never apologize for taking up space.

Time to stop being polite and start fighting for what matters.

The vase sits on a white cake stand. A fluffy orange and white cat stands on its hind legs with its front paws resting on a planter, curiously sniffing an orchid.

I’m not handling this first week of this administration well and it shows.
The image shows a fitness tracker screen labeled “Body Battery” for today. It indicates that the user’s body battery increased by 30 points while they slept and recommends scheduling time for rest and recharge. The screen also displays: • Charged: +30 • Drained: 0 • A daily timeline graph plotting Body Battery (white), Rest (blue), and Stress (orange) levels over time, segmented hourly from midnight to midnight. Interactive buttons at the bottom allow toggling between “Body Battery,” “Rest,” and “Stress” metrics.

Evergreen from Nathan Pyle.

ID: Two birds sit in chairs. One asks, “Do you think the owl is a predator?” The other replies, “Of course not. He’s never bothered me.” The first agrees. The second then says, “No idea what Mr. Mouse was going on about.”
A comic featuring two birds sitting in chairs, one holding a newspaper and the other a cup of tea. The first bird asks, “Do you think the owl is a predator?” The second bird replies, “Of course not. He’s never bothered me.” The first bird agrees, saying, “Exactly.” In the next panel, the second bird adds, “No idea what Mr. Mouse was going on about.” The comic humorously highlights the birds’ ignorance of the owl’s predatory behavior toward mice. The artist’s name, Nathan W. Pyle, appears in the bottom corner.

#Charleston dining is still on my mind.

I ate it all. So good. The comfort food I need these days.

Gumbo. Collard Greens. Field Beans. Cheese Grits. Not pictured: cornbread.
A plate of Southern-style comfort food. The dishes include a bowl of lima beans with diced carrots, a serving of collard greens, a bowl of gumbo with rice and pieces of meat, and a bowl of creamy grits. Each dish is served in a small white bowl with a yellow rim, placed on a larger oval plate. The background shows a wooden table set for a meal.

Olivia was fired by another groomer yesterday. She’s starting to earn a reputation in town and we are running out of mani/pedi options.

Anyway, is she gloating here?

I’m back in my #DesigningWomen era (this time as an adult) and I really think that we need a n infusion of #JuliaSugarbaker right about now.
Why Men Have Only Themselves To Thank "It has been the men who have done the lawmaking and the money-making and most of the mischief-making. So, if the world isn't quite what you had in mind, you have only yourselves to thank."

My preferred #Christmas feast.

A warm cinnamon bun.

A bowl of Louisiana style cheese grits.

Olivia and her monkey.

She didn’t like that I was doing chores and not spoiling her.

#OrangeCat
A fluffy orange and white cat lying on a bed with its paw draped over several small plush toys, including a Santa Claus toy, a gray mouse, and other festive-themed items. The cat looks relaxed but slightly pensive, with its head resting on the bed and its eyes partially open. The bedspread is white, and the scene is softly lit.

It’s beginning to look like Christmas in #AlexandriaVA

Seen on my run.
Nighttime scene featuring a large, illuminated Christmas tree surrounded by a white picket fence in the foreground. The tree is located in a well-lit, open space with green grass. In the background, a lively street lined with brick buildings and streetlights is visible, with pedestrians strolling and small groups gathered.
