Week 32 in my #housewife #bulletbinder. "You can do anything, but not everything." I can't do everything, but I can finish what I started. All those unfinished craft projects, ideas, and goals need to be complete before I buy or start anything else. #sosaysi #discipline #wastenot #domore #finishlineisinsight Image
[In honor of the dog days of summer, we present here a fictional “L.A. noir” retelling of real events documented by Linus Pauling on July 19, 1961.] The sun beat down on Pasadena in the middle of the Summer in California, and the pavement was so hot you could cook an egg, if you liked […]
I had reservations yesterday for five cats. But last Friday, without any specific colonies to trap, and feeling worn out, mentally and physically, I called the clinic late, and left a message stating I had to cancel. But Sunday morning, everything changed, after a comment on my Happy Cat Club facebook page. The comment
I have a slew of links to share, but it doesn't feel like a good time to share a slew of links. The daily news feels like a daily test of the paradox of tolerance and I've been thinking about that quite a bit. Also, brushing up on the concept of
Poor Oregon. We were so planning on Eclopolipse August 21. We call it Eclipse Day. So far it has not been declared a state holiday. It may as well be. Many businesses are closing expecting doomsday traffic jams. The state has asked its workers to work at home or, if they do head to Salem, to carpool, so as not to

These blueberries were so fresh and ripe that they jumped right into my mouth, I mean the bucket. Have I mentioned Oregon grows some awesome food? @thatoregonlife #oregongrown #oregondoesitbetter #farmfresh #blueberries #upick via Instagram http://ift.tt/2vZjWf2
Week 31 in my #housewife #bulletbinder. "I am grounded in the experience of the present moment." Screw the experience of the present moment. It is HOT where I live, and I am not happy about it. My summertime blues have kicked in, my motivation is gone, and I am over being sticky/sweaty every time I move. I want ra
Apparently blanket forts transcend age AND species in popularity. Annie is a big fan of the blanket hanging over our footboard (it's too hot for the humans to need it at night, and they are too lazy to put it away). She sleeps under here for hours, and this human was not an invited guest. #annie #cat #catsofinstagram #catso
I got five more cats fixed today. Although the temps are no longer in triple digits and temps near 90 now seem cool, today's humidity turned the heat and all of the outside, into a steamy sauna. Three of the cats fixed today are a little family of Brownsville cats a friend discovered. She helped their feeders trap them
Some unorganized links from the past week or so: MetaTalk: mathowie transfers ownership of MetaFilter to cortex - Big MetaFilter Universe news, but not a big shift for the site. Congrats to Matt and Josh on
I've been taking it fairly easy lately, after the massive numbers of cats and kittens helped this spring and summer, especially those removed to safer places. And after my knee injury. My knee was doing so well, too. I thought. Then last night I was in Waterloo, again hoping to catch anyone I could of cats left to fen
As the date for the total eclipse of the sun approaches, the state's worry over it seems to ratchet up. We are in the path of totality. My little town is in its path. A million people are expected to visit Oregon to see the eclipse. We have congestion problems in Oregon. Our population has grown exponentially it s
Week 30 in my 2017 #housewife #bulletbinder. "Tell the negative committee that meets inside your head to sit down and shut up." I gave myself an easy week this week. Just a few chores, the usual maintenance stuff, and a bit of fun. #perkofthejob Images from #freepik. #bulletjournal #bulletjournaling #bulletjournal
"I trained a neural network to write Tom Swifties," Tom said artificially. But seriously, after "success" with Oregon Placenames I wanted to try something more complex. The short, repeating format of

I called her Blessed, the old muted torti, a mess when she came here from Mountain Shadows trailer park. I tried to clip off all that dirty hair. She had mats and cakes of dirt and fleas so bad, and a URI and was drooling puss from bad teeth. I got her partially cleaned up and on to antibiotics and then Chelsea adopted
