Wrote a whole story in my head while I was getting ready this morning. Now I'm sitting at work and the ideas are slowly evaporating...

Google writing searches: Types of tables. Verbs to describe light. How do adults get tested for autism?

Made my submission deadline last weekend and now...... Who am I? Where am I?

Been working on this for ages...not sure I've got it quite right...

I know the algorithm only cares if I post these on the weekend but oh well.

Finished just in time for weekend to end. Booooo.

Cats on banisters. Side note: WTF, autocorrect, changing "banister" to "canister" and briefly convincing me I'd made up a word until I was ultimately vindicated by Merriam Webster. I am too old for this sh*t!

"Angel". Finally finished. Eighth in my colored pencil series "Women of Color". The paper was a disaster but it's fine if you don't look too closely in a few spots...

Pretty sure these deer were on a date and my cats crashed it. Super inappropriate. I blame the parents.

Full day of writing. Googled "what does outside smell like?" Paused and took the cats for a walk to touch grass. #indoorcat #indoorwriter

Did not intend for this account to be entirely cats but their lives are infinitely more interesting than mine...

Michiko tastes the rainbow.

Romy and Michelle vibes.

Spay-cation update: we've switched from donut collars to cat pajamas.

Devastated to hear the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon burned down. I painted this a few years ago after a quick summer trip. Sad this view may be gone for good.

These paintings don't mean anything. They will not change the world. But I had fun making them and they still bring a smile to my face.

Usually they walk in opposite directions and puzzle over why it won't turn. Rare treat to see them working together ❤️

Digging my roots out of Instagram and repotting myself here. Hoping the soil has less artificial slop and fascism but I won't hold my breath 😤
