  • Photo of a container of Trader Joe's pumpkin spice coffee on the right side (on top of a kitchen counter, the 'fake' marbled pattern in various shades of brown), next to a calendar-book featuring a photo of a museum in Germany (it's a Rick Steve calendar).

    Yes, I might be called “basic” but ‘tis the season… 🎃☕️📷

  • Friend of mine encouraged me to see if work offered bereavement leave…and they do, three days for a Grandparent. Rather lucky to have stumbled into working for this kind of company. 😁🥺 #MixedEmotions

  • Went to the office yesterday, in person, for the first time in over a year. No wonder I’m so exhausted today… 🤣 #WorkFromHome

  • “If I were a blessing, I’d run around naked”

    GIF image of Sophia from the Golden Girls, in funeral-black with pearls, waving her hands about. The text in the Gif: I always wondered why blessing wore disguises; If I were a blessing, I'd run around naked.

    As always, we can count on the Golden Girls to cheer us up and offer a bit of truth with humor.

  • 🍿 “It’s just a little Hocus Pocus!" 📷
    ★★★☆☆

    The movie 'Hocus Pocus' projected up on the side of a house at night, frozen at the title screen of the movie for the picture. In the lower-left corner of the image, a glowing fire, and in the upper-left of the image, the fading light of the setting sun.

    An annual tradition with my Girls from University, we started watching the movie (and pigging out) outside during the Pandemic and have just kept that as part of our Autumn event.

  • He was curious about what was going on in the kitchen. 🐱🐈😹📷

  • Anyone else out there noticing an uptick in iCloud email spam? This is getting a little silly…

  • He’s taken to falling asleep in front of the bathroom door…and then when we try to open / close it, he glares. 😹🐈📷

    Grey cat, on the floor, in front of a door-way, glaring with one eye open at the camera.

  • Enjoyed the September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge, it was so much fun looking back into my photo library. With the exception of one day, all of my photos were ones I’ve taken over the years. 😁

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 30: Treasure

    Cards (9 of hearts, 7 and 5 of clubs on one side, with the Jack of diamonds and the Ace of spades on the other side) on a white tablecloth, with pennies on top of them.

    Playing for pennies during a friendly family (in-law) poker game. I wouldn’t call them treasure but I did win a few rounds…and as I’d never played before…that was good enough for me. ♠️🃏🪙 #mbsept

  • Is anyone else out there having issues with their Apple Watch Ultra v1 after upgrading to watchOS 10? Even after the unpair / pair dance, my battery is dropping far too fast, haven’t even had the watch on for eight hours and I’m at 40% left. 😤😭⌚️

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 29: Contrast

    View of the St. Lawrence River, with ice chunks occupying most of the surface, at night, with houses covered in snow and streets with lights at the bottom of the picture. On the upper part of the picture, across the river, lights can be seen up and down a bluff, with a few well-light buildings prominent in the cloudy night sky.

    A view from the Terrasse Dufferin during February; I always love Quebec in winter…the contrast of light and dark, ice and life…it’s lovely. ❄️💡 #mbsept

  • Random Thought: I try to steer clear of politics online, as I really don’t want to deal with hateful comments but that said, if the US Government shuts down, I really don’t think members of Congress should get their paychecks, especially if the vast majority of regular workers aren’t paid.

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 28: Workout

    Weight machine, with various brackets to hold bar-bells, in front of a wall of mirrors, reflecting other parts of the gym; the machine is set up for squats.

    One of my overarching goals for this year was to work on my health, with a large emphasis on fitness. My bestie has work pushing me into lifting weights, for my regular workout. 🏋🏼 #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 27: Embrace

    Grey cat, curled up and hiding his face with his paws, on a blue bedspread, with blue pillows behind him.

    He didn’t want to wake up,
    so he was hiding his face,
    in a sweet little self-embrace.
    😸💤 #mbsept
