I hoped to catch some pretty sky colors myself last night, but I live in a place that is nearly perpetually cloudy.

Legitimately more clouds per day per year than notoriously cloudy Seattle

This reminds me that my Great Uncle Jim was stationed on a vessel in Lake Erie (of all places) because they considered it possible that German subs would invade via the Great Lakes & St. Lawrence Seaway (they did not)

Yes, this

Thank you

She was such a sweet, unique soul

I know she will never be far from me

You don’t need to apologize for missing it. I got really quiet. I was effectively her hospice nurse for a month.

It was a hard month, but we both appreciated the extra time

Thank you

The new book is both a departure and also not:

The topic is reincarnation, an old standby for me

But rather than a thick instruction manual on how to manage past life memories, it is an interactive journal that allows you to explore them at your own pace

A little context:

Lestrade will only eat wet food which means the other cats are a bit jealous & always want to eat his food

So we feed him on that counter & if he has leftovers, we were covering it with that bowl

But he has claimed it as his spot to curl up in to let us know he wants food 😹
