Anyone else ever listen to a true crime podcast about something and then go find like 20 other true crime podcasts about same subject so you can get more than one perspective? Or is that just me?

He’s so dramatic

I love my niece but I’m glad I don’t have kids. She’s been here two days and I’m exhausted. Tonight will be ordering sushi and melting into couch

I’m being yelled at to stop working but I’m supposed to bill for another hour

Smoke detectors up and working again $260 later. Gotta love how just basic home survival stuff is so expensive. Fire stations apparently can give out free ones but not if they are wired in. I’m glad we can afford it but yikes for folks who just don’t have that if theirs die like ours did.

Wired in smoke detectors are so annoying. Attempt 4 to get the right detector, right connectors, right wires. I think I’m done after this.

If you’re wondering what exciting things we get up to in my house we just spent awhile figuring out where a box of crackers went because our cracker to cheese ratio in the household is way off.

I love to give away stuff in free groups but good lord the waiting around for people to decide to answer when they can come it or waiting for them to arrive is awful.

Fried cheese makes the day better

Born to read. Forced to work. I want to go back to my book

I think what the AWS and Cloudflare outage tells is maybe don‘t build the entire internet to be dependent upon a handful of unaccountable companies.

Cats are too precious. I played with Socks and a string for 20 mins and let him win. He paraded it in a circle and brought it back to play at my feet like a prize.

The doodle side eye.

I was 2 mins late to bed and he pulled the puppy eyes

I got a phone mount for binoculars and I had to try on the cats. Thor isn’t amused to be my subject.

“Mama you have 15 mins to get to bed”

Good God

When we say money is political…. For real though. We aren’t kidding when we talk about figuring out the money stuff because it gives you OPTIONS.

It’s 9pm do you know where your humans are and why aren’t they in bed?

Socks is really great when I see posts of needy cats and kittens for adoption. He slaps the phone out of my hand and stares me down like. “I am all the cat you need”

Men take so long in the bathroom.

Mother fucker

If you want to get a true measure of people at work hire someone from the Philippines. I have never seen people turn so ugly so fast.

I’m having a rare zero energy evening. If the husband is not cooking yet husband is not eating lol

This but drop in a tab buddy too since elderly hands often can’t open cans as well.

Hazel and Thor are relaxing together while I bake and play Satisfactory today

Dropped off fresh loaves of bread to the food pantry and making some soup today

Nothing like an early night in bed with some fanfic from your comfort show. Right @lyse.bsky.social ?

Woke up to cat puking on my blanket. Having some sort of allergy attack with itchy swollen eyes and sneezing. Cats also now screaming for food cause I’m awake. Friday do better.

I put on Spotify to rock out in the shower. Omg. It betrayed me with On my Own and I dreamed a dream from Les Mis, Burn from Hamilton and then Once Upon a December from Anastasia.

I’m always suprised how LONG a wolf’s neck is. *Accordion noise*

You can‘t go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise it‘s just a cage. Terry Pratchett , Witches Abroad (Discworld, #12; Witches, #3)

It's almost like having massive corporations in charge of lots of stuff is bad. www.cbc.ca/news/world/a...

Them: “no one had pronouns in my day” A TV Character from their day:

Are they seriously cutting food stamps in November? They better open that government right quick or stores are going to be nuts.

Trying to read and all I see is his face from different angles trying to get my attention for pets

if the taylor haters are getting you down, just put on your headphones and hit play on midnights (3am edition) and i promise it’ll all fade away 💙🔮🧿💎🕰️📺🌌🛬🎧🍷🌧️💫

Insurance rates up $2000. Food benefits cut off. Farmers unable to sell their crops. Skyrocketing national debt. $40 billion to Argentina. America First!

It is normal to: Live in a home under 2,000 sf Have a bunch of mismatching furniture and dishes Regularly ignore the clutter that is your kitchen table Invite people over for potluck dinners instead of always going out

Soup is done and in containers to share. Pie is next!

Making Parmesan crisps to go with the soup I’m making!

If you want to know why the US is in trouble, in the last week I’ve had someone tell me they thought Isreal was a town in Texas, someone else had NO idea about that tariffs, and a third person didn’t know about ICE raids. People live under a rock.

Every day you don’t spent money and stash that cash instead, is another day you’re preparing for a general strike.

LOL so I order Instacart to get me supplies to make @lyse.bsky.social a pecan pie and the dang male shopper brings me the TINIEST bag of pecans. Sir. No. Now I need to send my husband for more tomorrow

My kitty Thor came to bed and is being adorable. I just can’t! Why are cats so cute?!
