Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

None of my cats are lap cats, nor do they like being picked up. But they like sleeping with me and being in the same room as me, and they do like being petted. I could do nothing else, if I wanted to make a career of it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Burrell was a nobody-but-me cat; Luna is quite the extrovert by comparison. Actually she's quite the extrovert compared to most cats.

Y'all, I pulled a muscle in my chest this weekend. A pencil thin muscle, but one that protests mildly on inhale when bra'ed. Or downstroke holding breath. Which is really annoying. You can't ice, heat or foam roll that shit. Just wait it out. And cough from pollen and try not to grab your boob at work. Nice.

Huh. Like the way Abercrombie & Fitch used to be a kickass expedition outfitter and now they're, well, disappointing.

The company that makes my CPAP mask for my sleep apnea also does woodworking tools. Conglomerates are interesting.

Those kind of injuries drive me up a wall, sarameg.

They were? That is hard to picture.

Second batch of macaroons definitely not as successful as the first. You can see the progression, getting flatter and blobbier, from the first one I scooped out to the last. Too much stuff needing to be gently and/or lightly folded into the egg whites is my guess. I am not great at that, it is known. Oh well. After they cool down a bit I will taste the flattest blob and see if it's okay.

MIss Erzabet No Biting is a cuddler. She wants to sit on my lap, and will herd me to a chair so there will BE a lap. Better yet is if I have a blanket over my lap, so she can be Under.

Vlad likes petting, but the only time he really wants a lap is if I'm sitting at the work desk. Usually during a phone meeting.

Ruthven wants petting and tummy rubs, but mostly wants to sleep.

The second recipe was not for macaroon at all, but for meringue cookies. The process was so similar I assumed they were the same, but i guess not. in any case, both taste pretty good.
