Apparently some cats are attracted to the yeast smell in bread? You'll often see yeast on the list of ingredients in cat treats. Anyway, 10/10 thievery score. You've got a little rogue growing!

Yeast and butter, man...enough to make a hardened criminal of the nicest cat.

That’s the oddest part -- I eat buttered toast around them all the time and they never give a damn. Granted, I don’t usually buy english muffins (Mum is coming to visit this week and they’re for her) but their total lack of interest until now might simply have been a ruse while they waited for me to leave the muffin unguarded.

:SCREAMING: OH MY GOD IT LOOKS SO GOOD, YOU COULD HONESTLY KEEP IT AS BLACKWORK?????

HAHAH, I was hoping you’d see it! Glad you like it. (Don’t think about what the back looks like.)

I’ve considered keeping it as blackwork -- my initial goal was just to get the blackwork done and if I did that I’d be satisfied -- but now that it’s finished I think the color will be fun to do, though I may simplify it a bit. My original idea was that I would do the blackwork when I could concentrate and then if I wanted, fill the colors on my commute, while traveling or watching TV, etc. I’m not going to be commuting until at the earliest June and probably more like July, but I do attend meetings by phone when I can work on it, and even without commute time I’m estimating I could be done by the end of summer (end of winter was my estimate for the blackwork and I would have managed that but for the concussion). 

In the meantime I’ve ordered black aida for the Schroedinger’s Cat pattern, which will be a nice break and a project I’ve wanted to do for a while.

Hee hee. I used a slab of mine for - get this - Scrambled eggs with Hollandaise and chives on top! It felt so cheeky that I'm still chortling.

That sounds AMAZING. Especially since the focaccia is so prone to soaking up sauce, that must have been delicious!

omg you watched the winter classic.

I feel like “watched” is putting it very strongly -- Mum loves it, so she was watching it and ordered me to put it on so I’d understand her text message play by play. I was very impressed with that one goal block that sent the puck flying into the stands, though. 

digitaldiscipline replied to your post “Is that how you watch TV nowadays, with Dearborn blocking one quarter...”

Looks like is is very straightforward to do if your laptop supports it - https://windowsreport.com/cast-windows-10-roku/ (might also give you phone mirroring capability, i didn't read that far)

The phone isn’t a problem, since it has casting on most apps, but I couldn’t get the windows 10 to mirror to the roku -- it would start to connect and then fail about a third of the way into the progress bar. Finally I found out the problem was buried deep in the Advanced settings, so I did in fact get it to work this morning!

Next thing you know she'll be going on a Timmy's run real quick, you want something?

YES DEEBS, I WANT A BUTTER TART.

She did used to teleport as a kitten. She’d vanish for hours and I could only assume she was adventuring the globe. 

mynameisgoliath replied to your post “I've decided to hell with "Happy New year”

So do I say this on Rosh HaShana too?

I mean, I don’t see why not! Isn’t it Adam and Eve’s birthday too, though? They might feel left out.

I think Deebs might need glasses, Sam.

True story, I used to do the same thing when I was a little kid because I was fascinated by how a picture from far off just became a series of colored bars if you got close enough. I think I still have a drawing I did trying to recreate the effect as a three-year-old.

Rooting for you, Sam! *aggressively sends good 2020 vibes*

Thank you! I’m doing my best!

But you see, your heart is filled to bursting with love for the cryptids which colors your life, so how could there not be prominent feelings in the reading. <3

IT’S JUST SO MANY FEELINGS.

I made my own 8 card spread up last night because it felt right and it was the most accurate reading I’ve ever had?

Wait. Oh, my God. Let's say that Jed Bartlet, God rest his soul, has passed away since the end of WW, and Abbey is trying to keep busy on the boards of Johns Hopkins and Bellevue and possibly St. Victor's. You think a Catholic ex-First Lady trauma surgeon with world-class political experience and a terribly earnest, bull-headed (and also Catholic) Police Commissioner might have things to talk about?

*blinks* huh. Muse has seen fit to provide me with snippets. 

Meeting: Some gala or other. Frank’s outside waiting for Garrett to tell him he can go home, Abby’s gone out to get air. There’s small talk, she expresses her condolences at the loss of Linda (she’s worked with her once or twice when she’s managed to talk whoever into letting her have a shift (if that’s even a thing. it may not be). More small talk, because I’m not good at that.  Remember that jibe from earlier about Frank unable or unwilling to..I dunno..lay down the burden of the office for a relationship (bad at words, sorry)? he tries to pull that with Abby, but Abby spent the last few decades with a State Rep, US Rep, Governor, and the President of the United States. She is having none of his bullshit, thankyouverymuch.  

I'd imagine there's all kind of fictional fun to be had with that one.

hi there!! ☺️

this could def be fun to play around with, all that long distance, cross border travel and trying to coordinate schedules 🤔
