She/her. 3 raccoons in a trench coat. Homer’s human. Not affiliated with any rescue, just sharing some of the wonderful cats available for adoption.

A wonderful thing about the internet is that I can think of cookie varieties and then find a recipe for them, because invariably someone has already thought of it and put it online. Today’s idea: bourbon pecan cookies.

Tonight Homer practiced his parkour. Specifically, he launched himself to the arm of the couch and then off my shoulder in an attempt to catch a boxelder bug that was on the wall. Being the big meanie I am, I used a paper towel to remove the bug.

Yesterday a male coworker tried to give me shit about getting books from the library. Me: I like to read and books are expensive. Libraries are free. Him: I don’t read. Me: I figured.

Today I just remembered the email I sent to my office arch nemesis that more or less said “I realize you’re having a problem with this but I do not have the knowledge or ability to help you with it.”

Amtrak didn’t tell us about this exposure, so heads up: if you took an Amtrak train last week through Chicago or anywhere on the Southwest Chief, Coast Starlight, or California Zephyr routes like we did, you may have been exposed to measles! Please let the train people in your life know about this

Re This case: Most media are focusing on their own states, but this was a multi-state trip. The person took the whole route of the Southwest Chief, so Illinois through the midwest, then across S. Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona before LA. Then up the coast, and back across on California Zephyr.
