Lis's Project 365

Rachel gave us this puzzle of Yellowstone.  Possibly because she hates us.  The majority of the pieces are beige, some with microscopic writing on them.  You know you’re in trouble when even putting the edge together is a challenge…

I often find bruises on myself with no idea where they came from.  So leave it to me to get one on the pad of my left pinky finger.

You know what’s weird?  This conversation:
“I’m getting my vaccine this afternoon.”
“Oh!  Congratulations!”

What a strange thing to be congratulated for.  I wonder when it will become routine, like a flu shot.

The last few days, Ferrous has taken to hanging out here among our coats.  The heat comes up at the back of that bench, so I guess it’s a nice warm and very cozy spot.

 

Spotted the remains of a branch when we were out walking around today. At first Doug thought it was a shoe, but then we looked closer.

We’ve had this tunnel for years, possibly for as long as we’ve had the cats, but Ferrous has only recently re-discovered it, and now he likes to spend some time in it every day.

Conversation this morning when I have finally come downstairs.
Doug:  So…happy valentine’s day.
Me:  Oh yeah.  That.  Happy valentine’s day.
Doug: Would you like potato pancakes for breakfast?
Me:  Can you make them heart-shaped
Doug (pause)  Would you like normal potato pancakes for breakfast?
But then he did this anyway.  Because he’s Doug.

I had a tuna sandwich for lunch today, and before I even opened the can, the boys were milling around, waiting for their treat of drained tuna water. Nom nom nom…

From the window inside, it looked like the critter was walking along, then maybe something came down and attacked and flew away with it.  But closer examination outside leads me to a less exciting conclusion:  that a squirrel walked up, dug up something, then walked away. 

This rather large and extremely cold package arrived today.

 

It even came with dry ice to play with!

And look what was inside!
