A tabby and white cat sits on some sheets he has knocked onto the floor. He is comfy.

Lol just got an office meeting invite for “Stare at the sun as a group” 😎 #Eclipse2024

Experimenting to prep for going back to work soon. Last night I took my sleep med *and* my anti-nightmare med.
Pro: It knocked me out. Real good.
Con: It knocked me TF out. Heh.

Watching the birbs and squirrels.

Very low key Spring Equinox/Ostara. I was busy Monday and Tuesday, so I’m celebrating today.

Eating corned beef & cabbage out of styrofoam with a Bloody Mary at a local bar in the Midwest, the way Saint Patrick intended.

A few pics from last weekend’s adventure. I went to Alton, IL to visit my friend Troy’s new American Oddities Museum and take his haunted bus tour. Stops included the Mineral Springs Hotel and the Ruebel Hotel. If you’re interested, I can send you links to info!

I have finished The X-Files. Original run, two movies, and the revival series. The two revival seasons were much better than I remember, and I wish they hadn’t ended with loose ends/cliffhangers. We need a follow-up movie on streaming!

Doing that thing where you nervously clean house while you’re waiting for a repairman. Because somebody is about to be in your space. 😬 #yikes

Last night’s movie was Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. It was a movie. Not as bad as people said it was, but def had some weird, cheesy moments. The two male leads actually really worked, and they were very watchable. (Don’t know what Amber He*rd was bitching about. They didn’t fridge her, and she’s seen throughout the movie. 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Took advantage of some weekend sales yesterday and ordered SO MANY PLANTS. 🪴 Hellebores, hostas, toad lilies, lungwort, bring it on!
#gardening

Well, I *was* going to take a walk this afternoon, but it’s a tad breezy. (40mph breezy)

Cleo tried to crash my video interview this afternoon. I was able to keep her off camera, but she bit me. Props to me for keeping a poker face. Lil butthead.

A tortie cat sits on a table, looking at the camera. She is very pretty, and she is sassy.

Video interview this afternoon, so you know I had on a nice shirt, makeup, and sweat pants on the bottom. Team Comfy Pants!

This is me. It me.

I finished my re-watch of the original run of The X-Files and now I’ve started the 2008 movie. I like the plot premise, but it’s a weird choice for a follow-up to the series finale.

#TheXFiles

Job interviewer: “Can you multitask?”
Me: “Sir, do you know how many tabs I have open right now?”

(45. The answer is 45.)

Trying to keep the cats out of the frame during a Teams video interview. Spray bottle at the ready, just out of shot. IYKYK

Watching the Usher half time show with my 78-yr-old super white dad kinda harshed my groove. He was scandalized when Usher took his shirt off. He did not know who Lil Jon is.
