Okay, now my new haircut feels like me. Rock and/or roll, kittens!

Miss Bennet feels that a third verse for this song is wholly unnecessary and furthermore an affront to refined feline sensibilities.

Happy Halloween!

This is a Children's TV Show host you've never heard of because she got cancelled after one episode for Reasons We Do Not Discuss.

I decided I should crochet a blanket instead of doomscrolling in the evening, and it seems to be working out for me. So far.

This sweater is both why you do and why you do not bring your chaotic 10-year-old daughter to the thrift store with you.

Pleased with my lunch today! Fridge-pickled carrots, leftover roast chicken, cucumber, sunflower and sesame seeds, and wild rice mix, drizzled with homemade ginger peanut sesame dressing.

It did my heart good to see and be among so many people out in support of the teachers and public education with @freshlookediting.ca. Community is how we get through this! #ABLeg #RedForEd

Today's good work

My friend is running a bit late for our coffee date, so hey, have a look at my new glasses!

Apparently, I can doze off while getting a tattoo if the artist doesn't speak while working (oh how I love that he didn't speak at all while he was working! 💖)

As a result of my aforementioned faceplant, I had to unearth an old pair of glasses. My son told me that I look more handsome in these ones.

She was camped out in my guitar case until I stood up to put the guitar away, and she immediately leaped onto my desk chair.

Miss Bennet is not allowed in my sanctuary.

I'm giving myself an A+ in this assignment. Because what fucking nonsense this day has brought.

Here is one of my marigolds, surrounded by her friends.

The prairies are being extra themselves today.

One of these was from my neighbor's garden, the other was from my aunt's. @ivacheung.com, I have problems!

Oh, it's been a day of wildly varying emotional demands, and it's not through with me yet. But I have this magnificently handsome creature in my life, and that is a joy.

The volunteer marigolds persist despite the weeds. 💖

There's always time for a luminous selfie in the backyard. But I'm afraid, now, we must all carry on with our days.

Oh I love this! (reposted with alt-text)

It's important to celebrate that your hair & makeup are just right, even though you feel like your brain is made of kinetic sand and you're trying to live your day with the emotional equivalent of a wagon full of rocks tethered to your waist.

My beautiful and perfect snickerdoodles. I get to accomplish fuck-all else for the rest of today.

Actually, tho, this glue gun was passed down to me from my parents, and so there is genuine therapeutic joy in being Old Enough to Touch the Glue Gun.

Miss Bennet, if you didn't want me to pet you with my foot, you should not have sprawled all over my feet and the floor in the kitchen where I am making cookies.
