Waiting at the vet with the macaw who is here for his nail trim and well bird checkup

My county has moved from COVID low risk to medium risk and reported 2 new deaths. ICU still under moderate pressure.

I braved downtown. It was bitterly cold (for here) and I should have worn socks but didn't. However, the last errands are done!

Greetings from NorCal. It's dark and 41F. I have tea.

Heading to bed. I've been enjoying spending time with my son.

The croissants were not a fail! I give a solid B+. Perfection is with reach.

Here’s a pic from this morning. #Sunrise

Sadly, the croissants went sideways. I have very very low expectations of a good outcome. I think I know what went wrong and I will try again.

Greetings from NorCal it's dark and 37F. I need a nap.

As promised, I am making croissants for my son. Hoping my third try is perfection. My second attempt came awfully close to that so I'm hopeful.

In five minutes I have to get the cat in the carrier for a vet appt. She is up and about in my room so I shut the door but I'm terrified she'll go under the bed. I may just crate her now.

Oh my goodness! Just heard about the 6.4 EQ off the Humbolt coast. Here's the USGS page for this: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc73821036/executive

Greetings from NorCal. It is 37F and dark.Today's tea is Meng Ding Gran Lu "Sweet Dew" green tea. It is pretty good. Anyway. I am on vacation and my son is home for a visit!

Dark and damp morning greetings from NorCal. It is 35F. I'm picking up my son at the airport later this morning and I have delicious tea.

OK,. I gotta feed the dogs and cats and start getting the bird ready for bed. Maybe by then I won't be so traumatized by trying to buy something from the apple website because WTAF it was an experience nightmare.

It's still frosty out!

Also, I successfully deactivated my bird account.

Greetings from NorCal! My coffee is fn delicious this morning. It is 30F and dark. All pets snoozing.

Am watching inside job on Netflix and I think the writer doesn’t realize how deeply internalized his hatred and contempt of women is.
