Wait, have there always been 4 ducks?

That sounds strenuous! But also satisfying.

A pen and ink Baby Lucy surrounded by a Jesus-style flame job. above her airplane ears it says β€œpet me with your eyes” 

There’s also a rough practice Baby Lucy visible above, but with a pink and yellow flame job. Scribbles are all around the edges of the paper and it’s had a hole cut out of it, grease stains are visible, etc. vibes are extremely casual.

Reference photo a black cat (Baby Lucy) looking beleaguered because a child’s arm is holding her and she doesn’t like to be held, ever.

I finally finished the drawing for a button for my husband featuring his favorite cat ever. I’ll put it together tomorrow.

I’m *never* happy with anything I make, but this turned out both earnest and absurd and for once I’m satisfied

It looks fabulous, I hope it’s relaxing and restorative for you

I did try to look this up before asking, but no dice. If you have time - why do ducks start rolling their eggs in spring?

I have never been someone who wanted chickens but your duck videos are so charming, they look very appealing.

πŸ˜‚ Forever ago, I managed a paid search program at an org where we used affiliates a lot with coupon promo codes. They were always squealing on one another to me.

A full moon rising over a tree in a late winter sky. Despite the post caption, the image is cropped so there is no parking lot, ugly street lamp or brutalist architecture: you just see the bare branches of a tree (tips alight with the last of the day’s sunlight) reaching out towards the full moon in a blue blue sky.

Still cheaper than a breakdown! (as someone who’s had one)

Gardening spending is largely an investment in your mental health, which is worth a LOT. That’s how I look at it anyway.

I’m impressed by that picture, voids are hard to capture especially with light on just one part

A button made from a drawing of a stripey cat yawning - the way I drew it, he could just be yelling excitedly, not yawning. He has happy eyes. There is visible cat hair trapped between the paper and the plastic and the whole thing looks sorta shaggy, appropriate for a five minute doodle.

A sketchy pencil drawing of (what will eventually be) a black cat with airplane ears and huge angry pupils. There is text that says β€œPET ME WITH YOUR EYES” and then lower down in slightly smaller letters it says β€œFREAK”

Got kiddo a button maker for 12th birthday. Realizing it, uh, might be getting more use from me.
Obviously Sassafras, my muse, had to be on the first one I ever made.
Now I’m noodling on a design for my husband which will feature Baby Lucy, his heart cat

Wings are like $12/lb at the grocery store. Those are steak prices!

Wouldn’t.

What happens when the electronics fail and the roof won’t open? Def. hope there’s an emergency manual release in there.

For disabled people, a curbless shower with grab bars and a seat is a lot more straightforward than this.

This winter’s storms have broken my spirit and I’m finagling a snowblower. (And then of course I won’t need one for 5 years, we won’t have snow. But at the end of the 5 years, when I am 5 years older than now, we’ll get a big dump of snow and have it ready.)

Monday’s storm took me 8 hours of shoveling to clean up, by the way. I had it done by Tuesday evening: 2 hours before work and 2 hours after work both days.

It sucked as much as you’d think.

Shoveling out from the blizzard earlier this week in classic Massachusetts style.

My neighbor was so amused that he called his wife over to look.

Idk about RI, but around the Boston area, the towing companies have specific territories. Call the non-emergency police number, they should be able to help you narrow it down to one or two companies.

FYI the tow place may be cash only.

Yeah, it takes mental bandwidth to crunch numbers and make comparisons and then layer on the specifics of your own situation for optimal decision-making. Sometimes that bandwidth is used up juggling utilities with paycheck timing to avoid a shutoff. Being broke is a giant tax on executive function.

The toilet paper conundrum. A single roll from the corner shop is much more expensive than the cost/roll in a 4 pack. In turn, the cost/roll of a 12 pack beats a 4 pack, but you buy 12 rolls at once + need storage. Costco is cheapest/roll, but you need a membership + ability to pay for + store 24.

Your poor mom! I had shingles in my late 30s, can confirm it’s 0 fun.

I think β€œdork” is a pretty mild epithet for the attendees of a crypto conference

I would have died of pneumonia at 30 without antibiotics, even with them, I was very sick. Even if I’d gotten to 30, I would have been deaf (I did go deaf briefly before ear tubes at 3) and nearly blind without vision correction (from the age of about 11.)

Medical science RULES!
