Unnerving
6 years later, she still stares at me. For respite I’ll build a wall of pillows to prevent an easy line of sight. Currently Listening: Orchestra Heinz Kiessling “Captain's Table”Reply via email

Like clockwork
If I’m on a call, Edith will hear the sound of my voice and wake up from wherever she is slumbering to come visit, sit and stare, lick her lips and raise a paw in the air hoping for treats. Sometimes...

Make your mess your message
This is the neighborhood Siamese cat letting me know it wasn’t wanting any pets. I crossed paths with the cat as the day was super nice and I’d been looking at a screen for too many hours. I listened...

Faces I make when surfing the internet
As I try and maximize time away from social media, I lean on bookmarks and wading through RSS feeds. Things seem to be pretty darn quiet, and I get that. Everything else is so noisy of late. And here...

A short-lived guestbook
Thought it’d be fun to have a page with open comments to act as a guestbook, and it was… for a day. (Thank you Sam, Chris, Seth, Trey and Jan-Paul!) It rapidly evolved into a spam magnet, which is...

Prey
Edith spent a moment being miffed during the workday. I get it. If I didn’t have opposable thumbs and access to snacks, I’d be annoyed too. Later that evening we fired up Prey on Hulu because our...

Edie and Avatar: The Way of Water
I think Edie is happy for our return, but it’s hard to tell. She was well cared for over the break thanks to visits from friends and a helper from Rover, a service for finding pet sitters. Luckily we...

Edie on couch, IV
Tidbits from the day are sparse. I tidied up the snack drawer. Edith stared at me. And I wrote a single line in my offline journal which read: I don’t know how to use ennui in a sentence. Snack...

10 years with Edie
10 years ago I brought Edie home from the Animal Adoption Foundation. (Here’s her first post on here.) She’s grown over the years, and not just in girth. She’s less scared of visitors. Her trills have...

Edith’s new perch
(I call her Edith when she’s throwing shade.) I thought she’d be happy to have a perch to look outside when I’m in the office, so I bought this awful carpeted cat tower because nice looking ones are...

Head down
Edie, annoyed by my day full of Zooms. TGIF + the roads are still pretty rough out there. Currently Listening: Charli XCX “Beg For You (ft. Rina Sawayama)”Reply via email

Another Charley Harper piece I didn’t know about
Back when I turned 48, the Duvalls gave me a Harper print of the Blenko Glass Factory that I never knew existed, combining two favorite things. Mom would have flipped her lid over it — she passed a...

Cat on Suitcase
I’d say Edie has some premonition that I’m about to embark on travel, but the reality is she just likes to place dander on anything that is new to her. Currently Listening: M83 “Water Deep”Reply via...

I never knew how to spell handkerchief until today
Honestly didn’t know there was a ‘d’ in there. In other news, it is Friday, the weather has been glorious, Kesha has a new album out and Edie is doing well despite my shenanigans. I really think she...

Hungry eyes
Edith has now taken to standing on the headboard so she can be present in Zoom calls and get in my sight lines to let me know she just had lunch and would benefit from a treat for midday dessert....

Edie, lounging
The work week ran over into Friday evening a little bit — it was my fault. I piddled around and didn’t get into a groove until the afternoon. I’d been stuck on the dumbest thing for hours that...
