I am obsessed with my Nugget and Baby Nuggs (in the original photo) and their floofy chicken butts and I DO pet them and love on them in a respectful manner! This chicken breed is the Buff Orpington, they are the Scarlett Johansson of hens with their voluptuous fluffy feathers and they are sweethearts and super…

I don’t know you, but I love you. You are a beautiful human being whose bunch of cells is just what the world needs at this moment.

We adore you.

Tips I give all people who are moving:

Aaron Purr is the best name in the history of naming things.

*applause for the Dracula passage, one of my favorite books*

If this picture works its my cat wearing a baby shirt to try to get him to stop over grooming his itchy spots. 

Aaron Purr is a great cat name. Made me smile.

Oh sweet, sweet Matt Dillon! Those eyes 😻

I use Sally's Baking Addiction as my fav - last week I gambled on some REALLY old bananas (they were refrigerated but probably over a month old??) and it was the best banana bread ever (and everyone loved). It was super moist and had great caramel/boubony flavor to it

I have no luck. My headache is gone BUT I’m laid up with a nasty spider bite on my ankle. So not too many trips outdoors beside getting the tiny human together with her best friend at the Lighthouse. Also we were supposed to be in Texas for our nieces wedding tonight. But you know Covid & Texas. So yeah.

I survived my second week at my new job. And appraisal came back on the house I am buying just above my offer.

My wife and I start jobs next week after months of being in constant contact. I’ve grown bored with the no knead bread of early pandemic times and am now trying various versions of soda bread such as Farl and basic loaves.

Holy smokies y’all, we’re moving to Panama this week, if, IF, everything falls into place. Cat passports, negative Covid antigen tests, narrow time windows for all the ridic red tape, though isn’t all red tape, by its nature, ridiculous? Also, there appears to be a calico elephant on the catsle!

I have been on adventures for the past month, and want to share. First, I finished over 20 hours of training for the volunteer program i joined here in Asheville http://www.tipofwnc.org/. I’ve had two shifts so far!

To Kodithic’s recommendations I’d add a breakfast bomb I used to eat. You need a blender though, and some pre-shopping.

I have eaten more Pho in my depressive episodes than anything else
