I may be a little biased, but this is one of the most beautiful cats I've known.

Noob.

Any Caturday when I find a new cat-related item of jewelry is a good one.

Red Star Platinum instant sourdough yeast! Because I'm too frazzled to remember to keep my starter alive.

My home group gives out a coin each month for our first eleven months of sobriety, along with a silver coin for 24 hours. ("Take a silver, save your money" or "Take a shiny, save your hiney.")

7 months as of yesterday.

One day at a time.

It was a good day, I leaned on my sponsor.

Glad all went well! Heal fast!

Should've consulted an English teacher. Personally I'm always happy to provide proofreading services.

Willman would like to say 'ow do.

I'm not good at painting, nor am I patient, so I sanded down the water-damaged veneer and cleaned the piece up. Then I applied peel and stick wallpaper from Amazon to the top.

There are a couple of minor dings on a drawer front, but that gives it charm, I think. /end

I bought this nightstand from our local Habitat for Humanity store a couple of months ago. The one I had featured a giant cubby, and having fifteen cats meant it became a hidey-hole and worse.

Replacing it with a three drawer item with a lip in the back (I'm a klutz) was a no-brainer. /1
