Red, blue, and sparkly for ‘Murica 250th. It’s a bit much, but that’s very much “of the moment”. My theme at my next manicure will be “Reflecting Pool Green” to stick with the theme for the month.

My girl needs to visit the Alfa Wheel Doctor. Serious issues on the right rear wheel 😳Atlanta potholes are the devil. This is going to be expensive. Gold paint on diamond-cut rims sounds fantastic when you buy; it’s like maintenance on a supermodel, later.

Apparently, I’ve been doing Life wrong. Look at the sidecars on the martinis over there! 😂

The Dog enjoys his new super squeaker toy. Ballistic Nylon and a louder and reliable squeak make this “velvet puffer fish” a true and indestructible favorite.

My bestie says the He-Man movie is visually worthwhile. I may have to drag The Boyfriend along. He can sleep through it as he did The Devil Wears Prada 2 if he finds it less than compelling. I’m quite certain those abs and biceps will be compelling for at least two hours.

The Atlanta Opera sells cookies at performances. Highly recommended. Pairs well with the inexpensive but overpriced champagne. (And, yes, it is champagne). It’s also really two cookies in one bag, great for sharing.

Please note the triple crown achievement of readiness, sleep, and activity. And 477 active calories burned, today. I’m celebrating with a nice Vosne Romanee Premier Cru. It is f—-ing delicious.

My son got me THE BEST Mother’s Day gift, EVER!!!!! The drawing of the human is a sketch of me that an artist did randomly at a party in the early 90s. The cat illustration was his gift to me. It’s my cat, Spice. ❤️❤️❤️

Power just went out in my neighborhood. Concerned about what this might mean for my wine refrigerator.

My stash 🤓😁

The most addictive substance known to mankind.

If we are going to be the Axis of Evil, it should at least be competent evil, like Darth Vader.

The Boyfriend’s doggo reads someone else’s 10-K filing and immediately takes a nap, thereafter.

‘Tis the minute after earnings With an S-3 on the shelf Ok, that’s all I got. Other than a CLEAN WHITEBOARD and a really nice Premier Cru Burgundy Chardonnay. And an OOO message on auto-reply that’s already active :)

I just think of how all my ex boyfriends and the two ex husbands are probably trying to justify Trump’s insanity right now. So glad I don’t have to deal with that, anymore. Being 50+ and finding confidence is life-changing.

When everything on LinkedIn sounds AI-generated….its time to quit LinkedIn

It’s March 1, 2026 (Cue general moment of freaking out)

Last night’s notes from Adventures in Insomnia: Add ROU assets by country Change “issued” on stock footnote to “vested” CECL comparative for 2024 can be described as immaterial Check redline from yesterday

In loving memory of my best friend’s cat, Dingus. 2015 - 2026. Dingus was a sweet and shy “big guy”. He weighed in at 26 pounds, but had no health issues at his regular veterinary checkups. He loved to “nest” in clean laundry. Cause of death was sudden; likely a stroke or heart attack. RIP. ❤️

Happy a Valentine’s Day!!! Going for the no-makeup / fresh face because, really, isn’t it enough that I got dressed and did my hair?

I’m not sure what he thinks about mood lighting and Donna Summer.

Robokitty and I are watching HBO 🤓😺

Robokitty 🤣😺

I found the purrfect t-shirt.

He got “pissed off” at me (literally) because I was gone for the weekend and my son was watching him…but, I think he’s forgiven me.

Happy Caturday from a cat currently wearing a shameful onesie. (He has a continuous glucose monitor)

My cat has Addison’s disease. He’s one of only 40 - 50 cats documented as such in the last 40 years. My son actually had the nerve to state that this cat has been more medically expensive over the last ten years than he (son) has been. The cat didn’t go to an out of state university, though.

Just a young lady on her way to drink some Grand Cru Champagne at the Blue Ridge Grill, that is all. I will be 51 in a few hours:)

Supervisor decides to spend some time on the computer, today. (Shaved tummy is from an abdominal ultrasound - fur is still re-growing!!)

It’s 1:20 am. Which wins, anxiety or the need to sleep? Certainly, it will be sleep, but at what point? Meanwhile, I’ve done a lot of laundry.

Finally, a Cat Bed That Isn’t My Computer Keyboard www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r... @judgeyouharshly.bsky.social - looking for the human version, as well?

When you have one cat in your bed and the other gets sent downstairs to prevent a turf war.

Cats and cars - both can be high maintenance. Today has been a day of cleaning and flea prevention (the latter being cat-only).

Another Caturday update: The heated cat perch remains popular with Mr. Aramister.

Happy Caturday. My nephew was disgruntled by the donut and managed to remove it as quickly as he did the cone. Thank goodness the antibiotics are working on his ear infection!!

2026 (ok, last picture of 2025, but it’s all I got) compared to 2016. Toronto to judge 2026 too hard; it’s a selfie. 2016 was professional photographer.

I placed the “eject” button in the car 😁

So, we just invaded Venezuela. This would not have been on the top of my predictions list for 2026. Does “Donny Two Dolls” need a distraction from U.S. inflationary pressures, a crumbling job market, and the Epstein files?

If you enlarge the picture, you will see both felines. Both of them are unimpressed by 2026 and it hasn’t even happened yet 😺

My Oura ring learned me in about 3-4 days. It started out with “get ready for bed at 9 pm” but quickly adjusted to my reality. I’ve learned A LOT about my sleep in these few days, including more about how my insomnia works (sleep latency for me, right now). This is good stuff to know.

2026. Back in my day, it was past the last years on amortization tables. But, here we are. Happy New Year.

The fortunes are fortuitous.

When you wake up at 3:30 am but wait to send the email until 8:30 am because you’re Eastern time zone and you don’t want to look like a complete insomniac 😒

Notice how far away they are sitting from each other and how Melania has her legs and arms crossed, angled away from him 🤣 Her happiest Christmas will be leaving that room!

My nephew, Mr. Butters, is unimpressed that I am having Christmas Eve dinner with his parents tonight. Mr. Butters would prefer to watch holiday movies.

Added an extremely nice Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru (Burgundy) Chardonnay to the collection and a Grand Cru Champagne 🍷🤓

I asked ChatGPT to “roast” me based on my chat history. It basically said that I overthink things. I’m still contemplating exactly how I feel about that.

Also acquired - some excellent champagne and Burgundy Pinot Noir Premier Cru Aramis is investigating the champagne 😺

New dress acquired.
