and second of all...

So Fox News ran a story about how they think libraries are turning into drug-infested sex dens and I am shocked, shocked that I was never offered any drugs during my 15+ years working in libraries.

Partner and I just seed bombed the area behind our townhouse with some cheap pollinator wildflower mix. The dark spots are where we raked over them; it’s been wet and rainy so here’s hoping they take!

I'm testing negative again, which is good, since partner can move back in upstairs where he belongs. However, I am now in the final disease stage: mucal incursion. This is when the snot starts coming out in smotheringly thick sheets, spontaneously forming new (closed!) valves in all your breathing holes, so one minute you'll be talking and the next you'll be spluttering for air and hacking up Slimer from Ghostbusters

and I just wanted to update you that moments ago, this big orange infant found himself on the wrong side of a baby gate, could not hork his lorge butt over it, and so just started WAILING until everyone in the house came to rescue him. Me, my partner, the dog, our other cat... everyone came to be like, "Barold, what's wrong?"
after this harrowing ordeal, he is now in my lap
my cat is incredibly sweet and wants nothing more than to be within a 5 ft radius of a person at all times, gently chilling in your orbit.
he is also VERY, VERY DUMB
it’s a slow morning so husband and I are reading, not making much noise. meanwhile, Barold goes downstairs to use his box and when he comes out, he starts yowling like his lil heart done broke. husband goes to to the top of the stairs all worried like, “Barold, what’s wrong?”
kitty zips back up the stairs and just oozes onto husband’s feet, purring high-powered lawnmower style. the realization hit us both at the same time…
this. boy. this itty bitty kitty boy.
he couldn’t see or hear us for ten continuous seconds, forgot. we. were. home. and immediately burst into tears !!!!

Bonnie despises water, so whenever she's out on the deck while I water plants, she gets all skittery and spooked by the hose. Her first instinct when she's bothered is always to run straight to me for comfort... straight to me... the one holding the hose...
Honey?? just go stand on the other side of the deck where I am not watering anything

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.
Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.
and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."

Despite COVID I managed to get all my planters set up this week and today I finally did my direct sowing. This is my first year attempting to grow a kitchen garden from seed, both indoor starts and direct, so wish me luck!
