I noticed this morning a dark area on the right upper corner of Smitty’s mouth. It looks like the fur is gone. 😢 He’s not exhibiting any pain when I touch him or pull his mouth up, but this is the side where I give him his dosage of Gabapentin. He was diagnosed with anxiety two weeks ago. I got the Gabapentin at the vets but had to find somewhere cheaper for the Prozac and then afford it. Now, I’m waiting on Chewy to get the Prozac shipped to me. 😢

“The non-profit archive was founded in 1985 by B. George, who seeded it with his own collection of 47,000 records and originally housed it in New York City.

With the intention of storing two copies of everything - one to be used for listening, and a second as an archival copy - it has since grown to more than 3 million sound recordings.“

Maddie is a HUGE milk fan, so much so that I buy Catsip for her but, whenever I have a bowl of cereal or a glass of milk, I always save some. Normally, she’ll reach her paw into the glass or cup, coat it in the milk and lick.
Not this time. She insisted on sticking her head inside and lapping at the milk. I had to tilt the cup towards her so her head didn’t get stuck. 😆
When she was finished, her chin was soaked and then she promptly shook her head, coating me and the iPad in milk. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Damn, does this mean Spring is cancelled? 😁

(I know I know, bad joke.)

Mads: “Why must you always interrupt my naps?”
Smits: “Hey mom! Hi! Whatcha doing?”

Ooohhh wind wind go away and don’t come back another day. 😖

And cause the gods have to balance life. I woke up this morning to find a cereal bowl that I had on the dining table with two onions and three garlic cloves shattered on the floor. I gave the cats my glare of death and the wall of silence as I prepared their breakfast. 🤬

I had out them there as early prep for a slow cooker chicken recipe I’m going to make. At least they didn’t eat the food and the bowl wasn’t one of my favorites.

Whew! I am sooooo relieved! 😅😃

I picked up my grocery order, got home and was unloading and found these eggs. “WTH?” I said, (to the cats of course), “I didn’t order these, I plan on buying reg white eggs from another store cause they’re way cheaper than these!” Pulled up my receipt and they must have put these in by mistake. 😮 And, they also gave me a 12-roll of toilet paper when I ordered (and was charged) for just a six-roll. They just saved me bucko bucks! 😍 🕺

"Mapplethorpe was engaged in an unrelenting pursuit of beauty, but he was also plagued by contradictions. Manichaean struggles are ever-present in Mapplethorpe’s black-and-white photographs, flitting between prurience and piety. "

"Originally released in 1967 as a weekly comic book called “Candy”, the bizarre domestic set up of two life-sized mannequin children and their “parents” — a pair of humanoid pandas — was dreamed up by renowned production studio Century 21, founded by British TV producer and film director Gerry Anderson."
