Ducky, you're really lucky that chit is legal in California...

Really nice day spent with my MIL and the kids; Spouse Thingy brought MIL to our house and the kids brought the baby. Man, my MIL lit up when she got to hold the baby. LOL *I* didn't because, well, great grandma won't get to see her often...lunch out, baby slept, even the cats were behaving.

This cat has zero concept of personal space...

Ducky is one fast little forker and scored some Cap'n Crunch for himself.

Ducky says HI and asks WHY DON'T THE BIG KITTIES LIKE ME???

Ozzy, queen of the Catio

We added a third kitty to the house today. Meet Ducky, a 14 week old little boy weighing just under 3 pounds. He's a nonstop play monster; his big brother and sister, CJ and Ozzy, saw him through the gate...and hated him on sight LOL

Under the circumstances, I would have pardoned my kid, too.

I’m proud to be woke af, because this is the true meaning of being a selfless member of society!

You know you're getting old when you leave the eye doctor with prescriptions for TWO new pair of glasses, one progressive and one for computers, and an "oh by the way, you have the very early start of cataracts. Have a nice day!"

Number of words written inside my head today: 6000+ Number that were typed out: 0 But I know where the story is going, and I got to play A LOT of Animal Crossing... #writing #notwriting

By the end of this administration I will need dentures, given how hard I'm clenching and grinding my teeth, and how many have cracked so far. Man, I hope day guards aren't spendy...there's a bike I'd rather spend that money on. But, you know, TARIFFS...

Ok, thanks to @tesswrites.bsky.social I've managed to follow back everyone!

Ok, @bsky.app needs a reciprocal follow option to make it easier to follow the people who followed me first. Unless it's there and I just can't find it... But a lot of people followed me on day 1 and I got overwhelmed, and I'd follow back if it were easier. Or I had tons of time...

Made the mistake of telling the cats I needed to run a couple errands, so of course they bolted for the catio and won't come back inside. If I were more limber I'd climb out the window and show 'em who's boss. Stop laughing. I totally would!

This is Good Boy CJ. He doesn't know his sister is inside, but he's about to find out lol

This is Ozzy. She thinks she's helping.

Fun fact: a lot of replies in my last post asked why I hate Oopma Loompas. My sister was actually in the Gene Wilder version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They filmed in Munich when we lived there, and she was one of the school kids. This will probably not be the last time I mention this.

Ok, first post. You should know I'm fairly liberal and despise orange people, I'm kinda old, I dig cats, and I write really awful fiction for a living. Life is fun.
