Dolly Parton is also a childless cat lady.

My therapist is leaving. The good new is someone is going to replace her. I’m trying not to spiral.

I bought a canned pumpkin spice latte from a store the other day, AIWFG!

THE SPICE MUST FLOW, Vortex. Resistance is futile.

Eta I think Teppy likes actual pumpkin rather than pumpkin spice? It could be a "both are good" situation or I could be completely wrong, of course, but that's the bell ringing somewhere in my head

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I was going to say "It's July and I am at the beach; that is too early for pumpkin spice,"** but honestly, if someone offered me a piece of pumpkin pie right now, I'd devour it.

**(I only like pumpkin *spice* when it's paired with actual pumpkin. The flavor of the spices on their own are whatever, they're fine, but I really don't walk around craving nutmeg.)

Mmm, pumpkin pie is so tasty. …pie in general is tasty. Mmm, pie.

That said I am not ready to admit it’s over halfway through summer, much less that spice time is nigh! No.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

fyi, there's going to be a new edition of knitting with dog hair. The author?editor? is asking for people to send their dog hair (seemingly, it's warmer than wool)

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't blame people for wanting fall to get here. I usually have a few pumpkin spice things a year...not something I get super-excited about, but autumn is. we've been dealing with this repair job for the individual water meters for about a month as of today. It would be better having people in here if we were getting a new kitchen or something instead of a water bill. basically, if you can avoid an HOA, you'll be happier. Haven't posted about that because arbitrary crap at someone else's request/demand is not all that new for me, but there are limits. mess, and, noise and holes in the ceiling. Also, mom and I already spend kind of a crazy-making amount of time together...waiting around for flaky workmen is not helping.

Thrive to spite them

I'm cold for some reason. I hate it. I just want to wrap up in a blanket and take a nap. Which I can't do at work

Last night when we were in bed M started singing "I'm going to get a female President...I'm going to vote for a female President...I'm getting a female President". He is very excited about Harris .

I feel it's too early for pumpkin spice anything as well but it is what it is. Although school here starts Aug 8 so fall seems a lot closer (they get out at the end of May)

Our wings are not tired.

Do you have a fever, askye?
