Hide under your patterns and refuse to let anyone take them off of you because you are too FIERCE to go to work.

It’s Monday
May you claim it with the confidence and comfort of Toby claiming the packaging from the new Bernina and discovering it has a cutout for his tail:
It’s Monday
Give it your goofiest blep (captured by Doc):

Chomp it like you’re staging a sneak attack on a jade plant you are not allowed to eat:
Day Of Rest
I had not one but two naps yesterday and didn’t do much of anything except take pictures of Toby, who was having his Best Day Ever lounging around with me in different places:
(I thought I could be getting sick, but after two naps, no activity, and eight hours of sleep, I feel GREAT!)
It’s Monday
Peer at it with the wonder of a cat watching his people power wash the deck:
It’s Monday
Sit on it like it’s a pile of fabric you want to cut out today:
(I took a day off at the last minute–time to put red thread in the serger and sew!)
Sewing, Gardening, Reading
Well, attempting to read:
Either way, it was a good, easy weekend. Here’s to an easy week.
Eleven Years
Eleven years ago yesterday I brought Toby home from a Petsmart adoption event. He’s been the constant in my life, between houses and jobs and relationships and sorrows, and as we both reach middle age together he’s both a given and a fresh joy every day.
Sometimes I look at him and don’t see Toby, the cat whose meows I know, but this wild creature who lives in my house and will let me pet him–and I’m overcome with wonder and gratitude that such an impossible thing could even happen. Who hasn’t dreamed of having a tame tiger ?
Sun At Last
The sun was shining all weekend so instead of a hike in the mountains where we’d still need snow gear, we went to the botanical garden where we wore light jackets and saw flowers in bloom.
Toby did not join us for the outing but he enjoyed the sun nonetheless.
(Pet portraiture by Doc, of course. He takes all the good ones.)
