We went to the 500th adoption event at the cat cafe last night. We had debated whether or not to, but we were glad we did ( Read more... )

Yesterday's pet fair event was an okay time. It felt good to "do something" as far as participating in something that intended to help animals and by proxy other people ( Read more... )

I was laying in bed last night when I was swept over with all this motivation to work on the office. Of course, it was 10 at night and I was not going to get out of bed, but I felt like I'd mentally decided in that moment that it was time to start getting some of the rooms in this house in order. The timing seems about right too, as in all the ( Read more... )

The negative aura of my birthday week continued last night after we got into bed and the CFO at the Meat Packer was texting me that they were having issues. Their internet was completely down, as well as their backup line... which negates the purpose of a backup line. This has happened several times now, mostly due to construction in the area.

We conquered this issue briefly last year by being laser focused on one specific project (planting the yews ( Read more... )

As if we don't get enough pussy around here, we decided to stop at this "cat cafe" yesterday. It opened a few years ago and it's basically like a coffee shop that serves the namesake beverage, as well as premade foods, wine and beer. You can go into the coffee shop portion of the place at any time. But, there's also the option of reserving a spot ( Read more... )

I am sitting here at the Meat Packer, waiting for updates to run on this machine I am setting up and thinking about writing, Hemingway, literary snobbery, self-appointed gatekeepers of knowledge and art, and also the fact that spending night after night in front of the TV may not be the best use of my time (or our time since I often speak ( Read more... )

I should have worked on my time for the month today, but I didn't. Same old story yet again ( Read more... )
