I don't like the fall. Lots of stuff dying. The light turning that faded gold that feels like doom to me. Cold weather forcing me to burrow away my tank tops. My garden fading.
But it is a comfort to get a harvest even as things close out. I could've done better, but I've DEFINITELY done worse!

My boy Chuck maintains my work life balance by starting a schedule of boofing his head on my leg starting at 5:45 PM and increasing in frequency as it approaches his food hour of 7 PM.

Enjoy beauty.

It's feeling really glum these days. When I just sit and I don't even know if I want to play games, shit is REAL bad.
Then Chuck comes and snuggles and I'm like - how is he so good at being a healing cat? Him good boy.
(He does need a bit of cleaning tho but I'm NOT doing that right now, NOPE)

PEAK CHUCK: no response except an ear twitch when I call his name.
I know he's awake.
He knows I know he's still awake.
Absolutely does not give a shit.
That's my boy, all right.
