Man, $35/month for thistle seed seems like a lot. But goldfinches are delightful, so I guess I'll keep doing it.
That sounds lovely, Scrappy, have a great time! How funny to realize you are having Oscar contenders/winners over for takeout.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I know what you mean, -t. I amuse myself every month trying to save a dollar or so on it, but it still adds up

So I'm finally at the point of negotiating salary with this firm, although the client, my Former Employer, is asking them to cut their bid by 19%. WTF.
They won't give me any flexibility on leave, but apparently the job is 3 days telework/2 days in the office. I want a big-ass flatscreen monitor for that. And a standing desk, although I forgot to ask for that...

Good luck negotiating, Consuela!

I do leave the thistles in the backyard to go to seed, but I'm not going to harvest the seeds so I can fill the feeder in the front yard where I can see the goldfinches from my couch. And there are community standards against having huge thistle plants going to seed in your front yard, sadly.

I hope your get what you deserve, Consuela. Squeeze 'em!
I am completely failing to motivate to be something other than a cat bed. Except they abandoned me, so now I have to Do Something. Ate. Once my body acknowledges that, will go swim.

My cats have abandoned me too. I have work but nothing with a hard deadline today. Unusual for the last day of the month, so I am giving the side eye to my e-mail.
Plus I have the edge of a headache. I'm trying to cut it off but it is laughing at the puny Ibuprofen, like it knows I have Percocet and Vicodin in my room.

Squeeze 'em!
Thing is, I can't squeeze 'em too hard or they won't win the contract. It's the client who's squeezing.
I can afford to make less than I did before: I can't afford to not get a job at all, after 7 months out of work.
