Kaiju is being my assistant this morning. Currently supervising from the snuggle position (in left hand, against my cheek).
Photos: Smol green parrot with a tan head, red tail, and blue wings eating from a bowl of pellets, and eating cinnamon almond butter bits off of a wrapper. Both on my desk.

This sad attempt at Spam Musubi is @funranium.bsky.social ‘s fault, because he extolls the virtue of the real thing. Sadly, Dracos missed my request that he make sticky rice, and jasmine just does not work. And I bought a couple packets of seaweed snacks, because we’re in TinyTown, central IL

I see that kitten is absolutely terror-fried. 😊
Our big pups are getting better with the cats (who won’t give the pups the swats they deserve). Loki and Lúthien have been sharing a sunbeam fairly regularly. One of these days I’ll get a picture of them together.

Much better!
Helps that I did an aggressive cleanup recently.
I can get away with the wall of monitors because my desk is an 8-ft by 3-ft countertop, straddling a radiator. I wish I could have gotten the 10-ft countertop, but it was hella more expensive. OTOH, the (new-ish) shelf has advantages.

Whoops! forgot the picture of the printer on its new stand. Official “printer stands” did not inspire confidence in resisting wobbles, hence the step-stool instead.

I have a Wall! Of! Monitors!
Got fed up with the itty-bitty laptop screen & portrait monitor, and got another 40” screen yesterday (all my “monitors” are TVs).
New one does block my view of the fron porch, but my sanity is worth it.

Moth Ball is off on a big adventure! Many thanks to our local postmaster for her help with customs forms, the USPS website was fighting me. Moth Ball actually left on Wednesday, but getting my flu and Covid shots earlier that day wiped me out and fried my brain. Have fun and Moth Ball!

Finally wove in all the ends on my Bellini Bubbles Shawlette, by PDX Knitterati. This is an assigned pooling pattern, yarn dyed by Created 4 U by Laura. After the first repeat I switched to the green & white yarn for the eyelet sections. I really like how it turned out with the green stripes.

Got new, larger, slow-feeder bowls for the big babies a couple weeks ago. This how Thord eats. 🥰
Loki will do an occasional lap, nothing like this goober.

Mothman! Crochet pattern by @craftyintentions - from a 5 cute critters set. The pattern antennae weren’t doing it for me, so I did my own thing. Wanted to make him solid black, but it was too hard to see the stitches, so I marled black and charcoal grey.

A @craftyintentions critter! This is a Kelpie with a fish tail, from the “Cute Critters Set 6” Equine Edition, which has an Alicorn, Hippocampus, Horse, Kelpie, and Night Mare. Also finished the last Moth Ball parts and blocked the wings yesterday. Debating between a Night Mare or a Mothman next.

Loki, a red-brown dog, digging next to a stump, with help from Thord, a white dog with lots of fawn spots.
At one point Thord was excitedly pouncing on the bits Loki was throwing behind him. 🙃

Thord is Dracos‘ baby, but my guard dog. He could have gone upstairs with Dracos and slept on one of our beds until I came up, but he stayed downstairs with me. 🥰
