That's what it looks like 😅

That's a beef patty on a bed of stir fried cabbage. Get paid tomorrow, so I can buy some bread.

My littlest cat made herself a little TV. At my expense.

My 16½ yr old has always been on dry, her entire life. Now, in her advanced age, she has both dental issues and GI sensitivity. She's been switched to Rx food and thankfully, she seems to like it. But still not as much as cat food. So to entice her more, I started adding a little bit of the Rx canned to her dry. She's a 20 lb beagle mix, so she gets about 2½ cups a day. My vet only carries the larger cans, but for what she needs, I don't like keeping it refrigerated that many days. Solution: Freeze into pucks, thaw as needed. 2 large cans, I get about 15 pucks. I put in a ramakin (or a coffee mug), microwave for 30 secs, add about a tablespoon of water, then add to her dry. I got the silicone molds off Amazon.

Besides living alone, do you also go on vacations alone?

Every year, I try to get to the Smokies in the fall. I rent a tiny cabin for just me & my dog. I've always loved the outdoors & nature, camping, hiking, mtn biking, etc. Ever since my fiance died, it's changed what I do or how I do things.

I've had ppl kinda do the sad/pity me bc I'm doing things by myself, like these mountain retreats. But I'm literally going into the woods to get away from ppl. I want to see wildlife, not tourists.

It's a reset. I don't have to be at work. I can literally do what I want for 3 full days. Relax, do a little art. My dog gets to enjoy fresh mountain air. I highly recommend it.

My downstairs neighbor's cats destroyed her blinds, so now she has curtains. Unfortunately, being on the 1st floor, that leaves her window wide open for ppl & cars to look right into her apartment. I feel her pain bc my cats destroyed my blinds too. Luckily I'm on the 2nd floor and I have tree branches obscuring the view (my cats love it bc they can watch the birds and squirrels from any window). She's been a really good neighbor and we keep an eye out for each other. I'm frequently outside (smoker that follows rules here 👋) and have a lot of bad hair days so I'm usually in a hooded house robe like an escapee from a retirement home. Yeah, it DOES look like I'm kinda lurking outside her window bc most ppl can't see the chipmunk I'm feeding. Sometimes the key to living harmoniously is to be self aware.

My coworker raises chickens and he brought me some fresh eggs! Aren't they pretty? I'm so excited, I've never had eggs this fresh. I've always wanted to have chickens bc I love eggs.

The EGGS, ppl! Not me! 😫

Spicy needs an updo, Bologna is booked solid. Bedbound until his appointments are done.

My 3 favorite things - mountains, trees, flowing water 🏞❤️

I was born with a full head of black hair. I started getting my 1st grays around 15. 30, I had a skunk stripe. By 40, I was S&P. Now, just turned 53 and I can find a few OG hair strands in the back. Maybe by 60, they'll be completely gone.

I work 3rd shift, get off at 5 a.m. I smoke outside my apartment. After my neighbors have gone to work their day jobs and morning rush hour traffic dies down, it gets nice & calm. The sun is starting to warm up and my shy little buddy comes out. Every year, I feed chipmunks around my building. I don't know if the same one every year, but they learn quick I have sunflower seeds and peanuts. You can see the cheeks on this one are filled with the nuts I threw already. This is one perk of being alone - little woodland creatures definitely wouldn't approach 2 people.

1st day home, claiming his throne, to majestically handsome stinker. Going on 9 yrs old.
