Eli loves hair clips, so I gave him one when the spring rusted out.

He's doing so much better this past week, and has fully recovered from his bad reaction to the gabapentin dose last week.

Good morning, Dougie! 💖

Slightly blurry photo of Eli, a tuxedo cat in three-quarter profile facing right. His closer, right eye is open, his further, left eye is winking. A good portion of his tongue is sticking out in a glorious blep.

This is Mimi, sister of Eli, who got sick very suddenly, and left too soon, a year ago, April.

We still miss her.

Waiting for a callback from the vet.

It is hard to tell from just a video, but I assume you could see far better than what could be shown:
Does this match with what you saw?

Some pictures from my window and balcony from earlier today.
The snow has started to melt.

View of heavy eastern clouds over Lake Ontario, clearing up to the right side (west). A bright, white mid-rise condo sits almost at the horizon, contrasting starkly against the grey. View of brightly lit southern clouds over Lake Ontario, the sun high overhead, reflecting in a blaze off the water. The sky is bright blue, and industrial buildings near the horizon are shadowy in the brightness.

The sun is blazing overhead through cirrus clouds, the sky is bright blue, and there are brightly-lit cumulus clouds low in the sky, underbellies dark with periwinkle shadow. The skyscrapers on the horizon are washed in soft blues and purples, while autumn trees spread towards the foreground in an earthy yellow carpet.

That's quite the ratio there, Sport.

But of course this won't lead to any reflection as to WHY.

If my excitement over the arrival of snow is any indication, I love winter WAY more than summer! 🤩😍

Yes, I am aware that this first snow will not last the week, but that it's so thick on the season's first fall, is giving me some Childhood Magic Whimsy joy. 💖🥰🌲✨️
Balcony view of where Toronto skyline ought to be, but is obscured by heavy overcast and snowfall. Balcony railing and a potted cosmos are laid with snow, as are rooftops and trees beyond. There is no snow on the anti-pigeon netting as yet.

Lol! Lmao, even!

Tbc, I'm actually pretty happy with the accuracy. I might actually feel seasonally appropriate for the holidays this year, for the first time since my son was a kid.

BRING ON THE PAGAN WINTER HOLIDAYS SHIT, OM NOM NOM!

Eli is on my lap. I showed him this video, and he watched it with me, interested.
When I told him he was once itty-bitty like that, too, he looked at me in wonderment.
My sweet boy.
He will always be my baby. 🥹💞

Yup, budding headache confirms it.
Gonna take my Neosaldina now before it turns into a migraine.

That's 9° Celsius, not Fahrenheit.

Went to the studio today to glaze my work, but it hasn't been fired yet.
So on the way home, stopped off at the Riverdale Perk for a flat white & a Morning Glory muffin to go.
Finished the coffee before I got home, now I'm on my sofa, ready to eat this muffin.

Lovely place.
Will have to go again.
💖
Overhead view of muffin and to-go coffee cup on a plastic tray. The muffin has toasted coconut flakes on top, and is sitting on a white baker's bag with "Riverdale perk café" stamped on it in black ink. On the red lid is written in black Sharpie, "Thank you," with a little heart.

No concern, compassion, worry, or any visible emotion beyond bored irritation.
At all.
Fucking sack of shit.

An aide stands behind his chair, hands on its back, looking on in indecision. Tight shot of Trump beginning to turn back to face the centre of the room from behind his desk as people continue to administer to the man laid out on the floor (off-screen). The aide behind the chair looks confused. Trump looks bored.

Except that 5pm-ish is now looking 8pm-ish but for that bit of pale light on the western horizon.
#Toronto #Photography #Dusk
Panoramic view of Toronto skyline at sunset. There are dramatic, dark grey clouds covering the sky, and a bit of pale, golden light shining through gaps in the sky, behind the skyscrapers. Wide angle view of Toronto skyline at sunset. The clouds are darker now, and the bits of pale light are smaller, and very far away. The city is shrouded in darkness below the tiny, twinkling lights of the skyscrapers.

Bahahaha! I just got off a two-hour AuDHD assessment appointment, followed by the annual in-unit fire alarm inspection and learned what the rest of North America has been buzzing about since this morning!
Still from the movie, "The Wizard of Oz," with Dorothy watching the Munchkins dancing and singing "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead," but the caption has the word "Witch" replaced with "Dick."

My notifications are interesting 😂
Notification showing above post and another above it saying "Woke up today to the news" and a picture of two white men in gaudy 80s men's fashion for "wild and sexy ego guys," arms in the air, triumphantly peering over their shades, and fancy, Christmas wrapped boxes stuck to the fronts of their pelvises. ALT text for the picture is: Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake from the SNL short “dick in a box”

Close-up of Eli, a tuxedo cat, seen from below. The cute black spot on his chin is clearly visible, and his magnificent white whiskers are pointing downwards. Eli is looking up, and his yellow eyes are huge. He looks both innocent and baffled.
