She's so very content to be a lap cat. This is how she spends most of the time I'm sitting in my chair. If I have my legs moved, she sits on the recliner legrest. She is such a cuddle bug.big.

Progress update of my reading goal for the year. Just closed I Might Be in Trouble by @danaleman.bsky.social, a gripping and engaging novel. It has mystery and intrigue, coupled with intense reflection.

One of my favorite books of my 2025 reading list so far.

Finished the #icordbindoff on this #convex shawl tonight. It's gonna need some aggressive blocking, but it will be warm and just the right size to be a quick wrap. Would definitely look good with a little clasp.

I love #britishtv, but police procedurals & mysteries hold a special place in my heart.

#vera is a series I have absolutely torn through. I started watching it in December, and I'm now down to about 2 seasons.

If you have #britbox and need a new show, I highly recommend it.

I've been working on this #convex shawl for about 2 weeks now. Using some #zauberperlen in this hot pink to black color set, and I'll be adding more black yarn to the end to fill out the width and ensure there's plenty of yarn for an #icordbindoff.

First, they came for the Muslims, and we said, "Not today, Satan."

In 2025, they came for our trans siblings, and we reminded them that no executive order will remove people's existence.

We stand with all those on the margins. We support our neighbors. We love our fellow residents.

When you just need easy and relaxing...

Using some #berrocoremix to work on a shawl tonight. I have a pattern, but it's on my laptop out of reach. When it gets more exciting, I'll add that.

Weirdly, this seems to apply to a single party. I'm shocked! *clutches pearls*

I passed up this book at a retailer a couple of weeks back, but ended up finding it on my next trip to the local #library. So far, one of my favorite reads of 2025.

I'm enamored of many folks who speak truth to power by simply reinforcing the values of the Gospel. I've long moved away from organized religion, but messages shared, like this one from @mariannbudde.bsky.social are worthwhile and give me a little hope.

One of the things I don't like about living in the south is the rarity of snow. I loved it growing up, so this is a treat for me.
