Beautiful morning. I’m going to take 20 minutes from the chaos all around us and listen to Ms. Itsy Bits purr. #rescuecats #blindcats

Due to his many food crimes, whenever I cook/bake or we sit down to eat The Tempest goes into the carrier.

Itsy says “Minions, give banned books to kids & donate them to teachers. Relentlessly hold all your local elected officials accountable. Call them, email them, show up at their office. Run for their seat if they ignore you. Volunteer w/orgs that are resisting tyranny. Pet cats frequently.”

I think we all need a little bit of Itsy Bits and Tempest today.

I’m sorry to hear about Ted. Our Menace died in our arms as we sat on our bed in October 2023. As he was leaving we could see that he was more worried about us than himself. He knew he was loved. We miss that mischievous little monster everyday.

Somehow pulled off baking a snowflake cinnamon roll despite The Tempest.

Baking #Christmas delights with The Tempest. This was the repercussion for little man after his cookie stealing hijinks. Our much missed Menace would be proud.
